Second! But do not make the mistake of dismissing the self-titled either, very much like a polished Sir Lord Baltimore (which you also should check out). The second, "Hard attack" is a minor masterpiece though. The first three tracks rule.
The aforementioned Lucifer's Friend is worth a second mention also. Their first album is the most metal-like and probably the most obvious candidate here. I'd like to bang the drum for "Banquet" as well, not a glimpse of hard rock but surprisingly profound jazz-fusion prog rock, and Lawton has got one of the most powerful voices ever.
