When it comes to the remasters,I'll pass from this point on when it comes to Priest. British Steel was the beginning of the band's turn to commercialism and simplifying their music. Gone were the tricky rhythm changes of masterpiecies like "Victim Of Changes", and "Sinner", as well as any quiet acoustic textures that varied their attack.Radio ready shout alongs like "Breakin' The Law" ("Washin' The Dog"-Beavis And Butthead version),"Livin' After Midnight", and the ever moronic "United" took their place. The pre-sped metaler "Rapid Fire", and the surprising "Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise", and "Steeler" recall a better time (Stained Class)and partially save this one;but folks,please get Sad Wings Of Destiny, and Sin After Sin first if you really want to appreciate this band.
