Re: Poll: Best Judas Priest album

Defenders is awesome, easily their best of the 80's, but it doesn't crack their string of 70's masterworks. British Steel is honestly pretty bad, their first poppy album with very few metal songs. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
Reason why British Steel is on there is that that album, along with Paranoid by sabbath, Black Clouds and Silver Linings by Dream Theater, Machine Head by Deep Purple and Ace of Spades kickstarted my love for metal.

Sad wings get my vote. next to it i would actually put Ram it down or Painkiller. British Steel is probably the weakest bc of a couple of really weak songs, but Grinder and Rapid Fire are really good still. Jugulator isent bad either, Ripper does that one really good but Painkiller does the aggression better.

I listened to Ram It Down ealrier and their are some great tracks on that record - it doesn't hold up in comparison to say "Screaming.." or "Stained Class" but it does contain my favourite JP track of their more commercial era in "Monsters Of Rock". That massive almost doomy riff with Halford's menacing vocals and licks being fired off by KK and Glen build to the chorus perfectly. "Heavy Metal" and "Hard As Iron" are stand out tracks also for me.

One of the weaker songs on the whole album for me if I am being honest. Too long and monotonous, "Love Zone" and their ridiculous effort at "Johnny B Goode" are also let downs. I liked "Johnny B Goode" when I was a kid but for some reason it hasn't stuck with the onset of age. I think it's just a bit over the top and a bit too much "fuck yeah, lets metalkill a classic song guys, we are so metal we can make anything sound metal, fuck yeah".

From what I've heard of Ram It Down, it's an interesting mixture of some great speed metal songs that were almost like a precursor to Painkiller, and some less inspired poppy and/or atmospheric songs. I still need to pick it up one of these days, but their 80's material is so ridiculously hit or miss that even the better songs on that album have me dreading the ones that are worse, much like British Steel and Screaming For Vengeance. It's just amazing to me how they've rebounded from so many failures over the years, picking up steam again after making shit like Point of Entry and Turbo with big ass kicking albums like Defenders of the Faith and Painkiller being released after those abortions.

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
