Rated 8/10
Can't deny this super fun metal. Every song is an anthem.
Rated 6/10
Hard, heavy, and repetitive. A clear influence on loads of bands I love, but a bit sterile and underwhelming for me. Would listen again, but mostly to have another go at picking out bits that went on to be "borrowed" by bands I like more!
Also, NWOBHM is possibly the worst genre/movement name in all of music history!
Rated 8/10
I never really listened to Judas Priest, other than Breaking The Law, I didn't know much about them. Enjoyed this album, headbanging most of the way through.
Rated 6/10
If you're looking for 11 back-to-back tracks of good old-fashioned metal, you've come to the right place. Feathered hair tossing windmill power chords, finger-tip shredding solos, a chest pounding rhythm section, and Rob Halford's expansive vocal range growling and wailing. What's not to love?
Side note, I was really intrigued by how 'The Rage' started. It had a Clash feel to it and I was hoping they'd continue on in that direction.
Rated 10/10
INJECT THE METAL DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS GRRRRRRRRRRRR
Rated 6/10
Sounds exactly like Iron Maiden, though its big hair metal. Breaking The Law case in point. Quite honestly, its interesting as a piece of metal history but I'm not particularly taken with the album.
