I can't agree with the official review at the top of this page. If these CDs don't include '7 of their 11 hits', then what are these seven hits??I bought MetalWorks because it has so much of what is generally considered, "essential Priest". Let me make a short-list: Hell Bent For Leather, Exciter, Sinner, You've Got Another Thing Comin', the Sinner, and Breaking the Law. Sure, it *doesn't* include Victim of Changes and Running Wild, but it more than makes up for these omissions with the inclusion of under-recognized tracks such as: The Rage, Blood Red Skies, and Electric Eye. This is especially true of Blood Red Skies; I bought the entire 'Ram it Down' CD just for that one song! Also, pay special attention to the liner notes (which are both interesting and significant): the comments on 'The Rage' are right-on. They were also made by Glenn Tipton himself. Overall, this CD is a great bargain, and represents a large body of some of the best music ever made by Judas Priest. In their prime!
