BRUTAL

(Rated this album with 10 out of 10)
Reviewed by Megadeth 21 from Somewhere Far Beyond

This is an amazingly brutal, fast, heavy, album for Judas Priest. I can hardly belive it is the same band that made the incredible Sad Wings of Destiny. This is one of the finest metal albums ever.

1. Painkiller: 5/5 amazingly fast and brutal track, Halford screams at the top of his lungs here. Good solos, insane double bass drum. Outstanding metal

2. Hell Patrol: 5/5 I love it when Halford screams THE HELL PATROL!

3. All Guns Blazing: 2/5 I never liked this song.

4. Leather Rebel: 5/5 This is an awesome Speed metal song.

5. Metal Meltdown:3/5 nothing special, okay

6. Night Crawler: 5/5 awesome song, great lyrics, creepy part in the middle of the song. About a murderer.

7. Between the Hammer & The Anvil: 3/5 okay. nothing great

8. Touch of Evil: 3/5 Another okay track

9. Battle of Hymn: 3/5 A short little build up to One Shot At Glory

10. One Shot at Glory: 100/5: AMAZING TRACK. My favorite on the album. Halfords vocals are outstanding here, awesome solos from Tipton and K.K. Good lyrics, crazy drums and pounding bass. Just a full on brutal metal track. Way to go Priest.

If you like thrash/Speed metal you WILL like this album. If you like more straight forward metal I would recommend Screaming For Vengence. If you like Classic Rock, I would recommend Sad Wings of Destiny. Priest is an awesome band!
