Iron butterfly sun and steel full album 1975
Sun and Steel is the sixth studio album released by Iron Butterfly in 1975. It explores a wider variety of styles than any other Iron Butterfly album, yet always remains within the contemporary conventions of hard rock, aside from a foray into progressive rock on "I'm Right, I'm Wrong". Tracks from this album are usually left out of Iron Butterfly compilations/greatest hit collections.

Reception
Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine delivered a negative review of Sun and Steel, rating it one out of five stars. He said it "was an outright disastrous attempt at reshaping the band's signature sound to '70s hard rock conventions, lacking even the curiosity value of Scorching Beauty."
