Priest rules!!!! Although they weren't off to a great start with the unbeLIEVABLY bad Rocka Rolla, they continued on from there with 13 more records, all of which were good. And this, their last album with Rob Halford (until now), is their best by far. Everything about it is good. Let us review the tunes.1. Painkiller
The best track Priest ever recorded! The riffs are killer, as is the drum intro, and Rob is screaming at the top of his lungs. I bought it for this song, and loved the rest of the album, too.
2-8: Hell Patrol, All Guns Blazing, Leather Rebel, Metal Meltdown, Night Crawler, Between The Hammer & The Anvil, Touch of Evil
I'll have to say that no songs shred like the title track, but they all have great riffs and the lyrics are very Priest-like, not the lousy ones on the song Parental Guidance (still a good song, though) or the good-but-corny ones on Jugulator and Demolition (the studio albums that would follow this and feature vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens).
9 & 10: Battle Hymn, One Shot At Glory
Battle Hymn is a good 39 second prelude to the extravagant closer.
Bonus Tracks: Not worth it, I never listen to them.
