Bronze Metalist

Oftentimes albums which would go on to become influential and formative works for entire genres have a certain spark to them that, in retrospect, seems obvious and apparent. You listen and can go "Oh, I understand how this became important to a lot of people." Even if the quality isn't great or the songwriting isn't as tight as it could be, that spark is there and you can feel it. This isn't one of those albums.
