described the album as
"psychedelic bullshit".
End of the sixties I was in a two-man group. We were heavy metal, we were going to destroy the world with amplification, we had titles like "Godzilla", "March of the Huns", "Brain Invasion". A lot of people think [I] just came out of the piano bar ... I did a lot of heavy metal for a while. We had about a dozen gigs and nobody could stay in the room when we were playing. It was too loud. We drove people literally out of clubs. "It was great, but we can't stay in the club."
— Billy Joel, Interview in 1985
The track
Amplifier Fire, Part 1 (Godzilla)
would later appear on
Joel's 2005 box set
