painkiller is a hit or miss cd. the title track is amazing and all guns blazing is awsome, "touch of evil" is a classic and "one shot at glory" is priest at their best, but unfortunatly some songs get worse with time, like the silly "leather rebal" and nightcrawler is a weak attempt at the early 80's era, metal meltdown also does nothing for me. I think they tried to hard to be heavy, but like i said there's some classics and some songs that sound silly over time.
