iTunes Review

Judas Priest was a steadily evolving metal machine. Their twin-guitar attack of Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing gave rise to the term. Their deconstruction of Joan Baez’s “Diamonds and Rust” takes her ode to Bob Dylan and runs roughshod over its remains. Along with the now classic metal gallop of “Sinner” and the years-ahead-of-its-time grind of “Dissident Aggressor,” the album is one of many peaks for the group. The production is relatively tame compared to their live show, but session drummer Simon Phillips, then just 19, keeps the band tight and focused and there is a great stereo effect working through the chugging guitar chords, as “Starbreaker” makes plainly evident. “Last Rose of Summer” is a hard-rock ballad that doesn’t mind remaining a ballad. Halford sings it thoughtfully. “Let Us Prey/Call for the Priest” is a classic epic that easily glides through the gear and time shifts. The 2001 collection includes “Race With the Devil” from the Stained Class sessions and “Jawbreaker,” a track from Defenders of the Faith, recorded live in California in 1984.

Customer Reviews

one of the greatest and most influential heavy metal albums ever

extremely great vocals. halford at his absolute best. glen tipton and kk upton have great chemistry on this album. especailly on dissident aggressor

Some the best that early 'Priest' has to offer...

This album is a true gem in the annals of Heavy Metal. Judas Priest has always been a favorite of mine, and this album did not disappointed me. I am only 22, but have heard most to all of priest's work, from Deciever (Sad Wings of Destiny), to Rocka Rolla, to the newest, Nostradamus. The cover of Joan Baez's 'Diamonds and Rust is one of my fave's, Starbreaker and Raw Deal are staples, but the wildest track to me, is Dissident Aggressor. I heard the Slayer cover, thinking they wrote it, but I was wrong. Slayer gave praise to the 'METAL GODS', and it had worked so very nicely. Overall, if you are a fan of Judas Priest, Britain's answer to that crap Punk, or a fan to overall Metal, this is a must-have!!!

From the Beginning

From the beginning of "The Sinner" you're gonna go on a rocking trip constantly wanting to get more of this. The intensity keeps going until the end of "Jawbreaker." There is only one main slow popint in this album and that is "Last Rose of Summer." It kind of has the feeling of the non-solo part of "Freebird." Buying the Album is a must because of the bonus track of "Let Us Prey/Call for the Priest," This song really heats up around 1:25 Personal Fav.:"Dissident Aggressor."

Judas Priest was one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the '70s, spearheading the New Wave of British Heavy Metal late in the decade. Decked out in leather and chains, the band fused the gothic doom of Black Sabbath with the riffs and speed of Led Zeppelin, as well as adding a vicious two-lead guitar attack; in doing so, they set the pace for much popular heavy metal from 1975 until 1985, as well as laying the groundwork for the speed and death metal of the '80s.
