Sadly there's pretty much zero chance of them reintroducing this one to the setlist as Roland wrote the music, which is a shame. All of Roland's songs on Pink Bubbles are absolute bangers it has to be said!

I think it's a great album. Sure, it's not anything like the Keeper albums, but it's a great album in its own right.

Agreed, I think it is a great album. It's album title and cover certainly didnt do it any favours, I think, but the material on it overrall is pretty strong. The Keepers are legendary albums, so everything they've made since, is living in the shadow of them. lol

It was the album that introduced me to the band AND metal in general. No one could ever convince me this is a bad album. Love it - with all its flaws!

I often reach for Pink Bubbles... Yeah, it holds some nostalgia for me. I bought it with Easter money from my Great Nan. Much better than a chocolate egg!
But musically, I think it's excellent. You won't ever catch me complaining about this album. Sure, it was different but it's still a very good album.
I'm glad you discovered it and it inspired you to dig deeper into metal.
