(Rated this album with 8 out of 10) Reviewed by

This album is from the earlier days of Judas Priest. This is the T-shirt and jeans rock that they produced before becoming the more familiar leather and metal most fans are accustomed to seeing. "Victim of Changes" is probably Rob Halford's best vocal work to date. Some songs are rough and jagged (The Ripper), while others are more etherial and thought-provoking (the aforementioned Victim of Changes). Throughout the album total unity of the bands' collective talent is prevelant. Any fan of Priest who hasn't had the chance to listen to this album is definitely not getting the whole range of one of Metal's most influential bands. I highly recommend this to any and all fans of not only Judas Priest, but also to fans of Rock itself. BUY THIS CD-- YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
