Ok, here we go with the next Judas Priest<\/a> album after Sad Wings of Destiny<\/a>. Things have now Improved for the band and their previous album sold alright so they’ve got a bigger budget this time. Out with Gull Records and onto CBS for these guys!<\/p>\n\n

The album opens up with “Sinner”. This is a pretty cool song and I know they played this one from time to time in their live set. Next up is “Diamonds and Rust” another one that is still a staple of their live set to this day. I had a great time re-living these songs. Starbreaker is a song they don’t tend to do live but is still a pretty rockin’ little number. But here’s where it gets a bit funny. I’m going to say I liked their previous album “Sad Wings of Destiny” better than this one. Then next song “Last Rose of Summer” is just painful. To be fair its not a bad song, but it feels like the wheels fall right off the wagon with this song. What started out as a great Metal album gets well and truely derailed.<\/p>\n\n

Ok onto side 2 and its still kinda weird. This sounds a bit more like Queen in my opinion. There’s fast verses in this song so that’s something. Not that I have anything against Queen (I quite like them)<\/i> It picks up a bit compared to “Last Rose” so that’s something. I have to say the second half of this album seems a little unfocused. After 3 great songs to start the album, it really loses its way after that. I’d be interested to see what other long time Priest fans think of this album. Am I being too picky?. In the bands defence there were issues with their producer (Roger Glover of Deep Purple fame)<\/i> and they had to give their drummer the boot half way through the session and get a session drummer. There is however the track “Dissadent Aggressor” on the end of this album which picks up the pace a little and brings the band back to their metal roots.<\/p> \n\n\n\n\n\n
