In 1984, ten years after their debut was released, Judas Priest released their ninth album: Defenders Of The Faith. How would it measure up in proportion to their others? Read on and see.

Freewheel Burning - Hard rocker with killer riffs and vocal delivery. A

Jawbreaker - Generic but good hard rocker. A-

Rock Hard Ride Free - JP plays some of its best guitar to datein this one. A+

The Sentinel - Hard NWOBHM-inspired rocker resembling The Hellion/Electric Eye. A

Love Bites - Hard rocker with emphasis on vocal delivery. Love may bite, but this song sure doesn't. A+

Eat Me Alive - Hard and heavy rocker with some great vocals. A+

Some Heads Are Gonna Roll - Rocker with emphasis on guitat playing. Vocals are pretty sweet too. A+

Night Comes Down - Mid-tempo hard rocker with melodic chorus. A

Heavy Duty - Generic mid-tempo hard rocker, but not necessarily bad. A-

Defenders Of The Faith - Basically a continuation of Heavy duty, meaning nothing too special. A-

Turn On Your Light - Lighter acoustic track that gets heavier near the end. Not bad. A

Heavy Duty/Defenders Of The Faith (live) - See above for reviews of these tracks. A-

No, this isn't the band's best album. But it proves itself as an excellent one nonetheless, and is certainly worth checking out. No Judas Priest collection is complete without this.
