Glad to see y’all back for this guys.
Great video guys! I’m 50 years old and didn’t realize it, until I watched this video, that I’ve misread Stained Class for about 40 years. This whole time I thought it was “Stained Glass”! I didn’t get to see Priest live until the Nostradamus tour, but I did get to see Fight once and Rob Halford, on the Maiden/Halford/Queensryche tour. While I’m not the biggest Priest fan, I do enjoy a large chunk of their discography and have a deep admiration and respect for their contribution to music.

Judas Priest is my favorite all time band. I saw them live every tour from Turbo til Redeemer but stopped because I wanted to remember them at there best. The 91 ram it down tour was the best I ever heard Rob sing, the Painkiller tour was just insane but the Turbo tour was by far the most amazing concert I’ve ever seen. Stage, lighting, performance and energy was simply off the charts. Long live Judas Priest!!! I’ve seen them live more the 2 dozen times and they are one of the best live bands ever. I am a singer, guitarist and songwriter who all my early inspiration came from Priest and I did a 1 man tribute to them where I played all instruments and all vocals and yes I am not Rob, K.K. or Glenn but I sure did have a blast doing these songs! ruclips.net/p/PLy56_RJXJR1wOXqmZ0VYppl22ClzAdZCg&si=1d5Skr-8sRw2r5G7
Welcome back to the interweb. Great to see y’all again. For me, “Stained Class,” “Defenders,” and “Painkiller” are all solid 10s. I like the first three albums quite a bit, but the ballads detract from their greatness for me. And Grimby is 100% correct that “Persistence” is Anthrax’s best album. Not even close.
Thanks duude! Some cool points and my knee jerk reaction here is ATL is Anthrax #1 but truly Peristence is great. Would be fun to do that discog, Ive always followed them closely. Hails!
So good! Took me a week to finish in installments. Learned a lot and going back to check out some albums I may not have given enough attention. Looking forward to your Invisible Shield review!
Thank you for this! It was fun watching and listening to your opinions. Please, do Anthrax! That would be interesting too! Persistence of Time is their best for me but they've done a lot great stuff. Even the 90s stuff is great, I think :)
If you look at the cover of point of entry album it’s actually a illusion it’s a pair of legs (the black asphalt )with the point of entry words being the crotch area (the blue centre line of road)) and the horizon being the waist area Favourite band been following them for 43 years
I feel bad for Glenn, nobody talked about his solo album which I think is really good. I know you're reviewing priest but at least you gave Rob credit for a couple of his solo projects.
Judas Priest is my favourite Metal band ever since 1981. My favourite album is Sad wings...My introduction was British steel.Imo they never made a bad album. Rob is the best vocalist of all time. Great video guys a true pleasure. Thank you for the great information.
A note of reference for you guys from the UK. When Sad Wings was originally released as an LP, Side 1 is the segment that starts with Prelude/Tyrant and ends with Island Of Domination. Side 2 starts with Victim Of Changes and ends with Deceiver. The CD releases have the entirely wrong sequencing.
@@MetalbyteMedia Yep and somehow all subsequent - eg Remastered - versions from the original CD release have repeated that same sequencing error. That may have something to do with the fact that- stemming from their original release back in the day on Gull Records - that Priest and their management don’t have ownership of either Sad Wings or the the debut Rocka-Rolla. Interestingly I saw them on Thursday night in London and whilst it truly was a night for the Ages (with Saxon and Uriah Heep supporting) it was - for my first time in 45 years of seeing Priest live, that they did NOT play anything from Sad Wings. No Victim, no Ripper. I only realised that after the gig. You guys over the pond have a TREAT though waiting for you this Spring/Summer. Enjoy! 😁👍
Defenders of the Faith for me. I was in high school when that dropped. It was the first album I bought from Priest and I loved it. It was so great to hear when the world was filled with all this WHAM and Micheal Jackon crud.
Saw them during their 'Turbo-tour' .. It was the first time I went to a real show!! .. This was 18 October 1986. In Brussels. Glenn, KK, Rob, Ian and Dave.. Magic line-up!!
the beauty of being a Priest fan is that you see the progression of the band. Listen to the solo on Tyrant on sad wings then listen to it on unleashed. then a decade or 2 later listen to Glenn tapping and sweep picking on Painkiller
I think sometimes people don't put the right number for how they feel about an album. The one guy gave Redeemer an 8 but when he explained how he felt about the songs it would indicate a 6 at most.
I love alot of the songs on Nostradamus. I think I like it better because now I can just pick out the 7-8 songs I love and throw them on a playlist. So, I haven't listen to the full album in years. So, I agree to long with too many interludes, but I still view it fondly.
Very hard to rank em all, but I did mine in batches of tied albums… Angel Defenders Screaming Painkiller Entry Demolition Turbo Ram it down British steel Killing machine Firepower Sin after sin Stained class Jugulator Shield Nostradamus Sad Wings Rolla Redeemer
Redeemer is a complete embarrassment with one or two exceptions. “I’ve been to hell and back” is a cringier hook than Cyberface “beware his mega bite” IMO
You missed your opportunity to Love 'Solar Angels' on the oft criticized album 'Point of Entry'. AND, yes, I was all peace out when Turbo came out, til Painkiller. The 9 for Painkiller is a head scratcher. Metal Meltdown 'not bad', you are joking, it's EPIC. Can we thank Tim Ripper Owens for saving Priest, he brought energy and young fans to this band. And your are right, Rob's snobbishness regarding his absence, is just sad. Nortradamus is a Masterpiece, period.
@@MetalbyteMedia yea thanks. I did some internet research and found it. I love the wood case. I’m one of these guys that has way more audio stuff than I can use …. It always, always looking. Enjoying your content.
The main difference between stained and hell bent for leather was. If you listened to the previous 3. Halford was screaming with a high pitch , than came delivering the goods was low voice halford . 😮
Judas Priest was my first metal band, enjoyed listening to this but see them much differently. I guess where they went more mainstream is where i enjoyed them the most. British Steel was my first cassette, went into the store to pick up "M- Pop Muzic" and Living After Midnight was playing, had to have it.. went full metal after.. I know this will really Bang some balls can almost imagine the boo's in the crowd, but Turbo might my favorite as far as I can tell most Preist fans don't like it.. but only as I was 19 when it came out it was the soundtrack to my youth. I do think we gravitate to the music that was the stuff that formed our music tastes. I kinda lost interest when Defenders came out (and still own all the releases but the newest one) , Much more metal but less Priest to me, all the albums before it was better IMHO. But we all like our own thing. very much enjoyed watching this and even heard a few things I didn't know.
Rocka Rolla (5/10) Sad Wings of Destiny (10/10) Sin After Sin (9/10) Stained Class (9.5/10) Hell Bent for Leather (9/10) British Steel (10/10) Point of Entry (7/10) Screaming for Vengeance (8.5/10) Defenders of The Faith (9.5/10) Turbo (8/10) Ram it Down (7.5/10) Painkiller (10/10) Angel of Retribution (6.5/10) Nostradamus (7.5/10) Redeemer of Souls (7.5/10) Firepower (8/10) Been a fan for many, many years. Still have yet to listen to the Tim Owens albums. I dunno, he's just not my thing. I started with Painkiller, and then went all the way back to the 70s albums. Sad Wings is forever my favorite, but British Steel is so good. Defenders is amazing and I like Turbo more than most seem to. I'm not huge on their most recent albums, but when they're good, they're really good (like Nostradamus, Visions, Judas Rising, Lochness, Redeemer of Souls, Spectre etc). Haven't fully listened to Invincible Shield yet, but Panic Attack, Serpent and the King and some of the other tracks are the best they've done since Painkiller. Like, they've absolutely recaptured the magic, and I already thought they were great on Firepower.
Man you took me through my high school years. But I graduated in 84. I agree with both of you. But you talk about patterns and mythical characters. Tell me that the exciter the sentinel and the painkiller are not the same dude. Lol
Dude I was literally waiting for you to say this! Awesome.
9 месяцев назад+2
Guys put a lot of efforts into this album and narrow minded people who literally did not hear a bit off this album smash this album. Imho this album has its flaws of course (length, lack of guitars at times, fakt orchestration) but the musicianship is there, some songs are very deep and emotional (Alone, Exiled, Future of Mankind...) for me its 6,5/10 album easily
You guys are wrong about Point of Entry. If I had to introduce them to a rock fan that would be the album. Sure if you define yourself as a metalhead then you won't like it too much. Ditto for Hell Bent for Leather. Those are the most rock and roll albums so for a mainly rock fan like myself those two are right up there with the best.
Worth fighting for is a great song. Angel is a great song. Redeemer of Souls is a masterpiece. Rising from ruins is the best Priest song of all time. Never the hero is a great anti-war song.
Name a band that had an open hammer on riff, Metal Gods? Mix in Iconic vocals. Metal Gods is a quintessential metal song. Not weak. British Steel was NOT a commercial album whatsoever. Their popularity maturated over time, no real watershed moment. Living on MTV you could point to. British Steel commercial??? Where?
Jug to me is 8 and Demolish is maybe 8.2 or something like this. These two are very different albums and I still can't understand which one I like better. Angel is 8.4. Everything after that is below 6.
Ataboy Grimby YES TURBO is awesome huge classic in its time and it’s lives on real strong when playing the album. A great album loaded with positiveness considering what Rob was going through at that time, a real “Tour de force”
The Metal monster that is depicted on the cover of DOTF is the Metallion That album is their best album they ever made.....if there was no DOTF Painkiller would never have existed. I was at the MSG concert where they were banned for life....best show and Halford was at the top of his prime singing....The vocals on Painkiller are good but not better than that album.
Why does redeemer of souls get a bad rating . It kicks ass . I count the 5 extra songs. And everyone loves firepower. I don't get it. There both great .
I think firepower is better but... i dont get it either. I really like most of those songs and it has a lot of energy. I mean... on metal archives is the second worst album, What?
Yeah man great point on production and here's an Andy Sneap quote: "they're playing in E flat now, so they are semitone down" blabbermouth.net/news/judas-priests-new-album-contains-some-real-classic-moments-says-producer-andy-sneap
These guys throw perfect 10's to WAY too many albums across different videos. There's no way all these albums given a 10 each had no filler and was perfect beginning to end. Come on already. Turbo a 9 too??......
Songs like 'Metal Gods' and 'Electric Eye' were years ahead of the times. And they predicted what is to come with A.I. and government surveillance.
Great to see you guys again!
Bring back Moonskin! Dude great to see you and love the new goth stuff!
Little did we knew at that time that Judas was about to release one of their very best and most complete album of all time INVINCIBLE SHIELD
?
Definitely not
great video guys, I missed this! - agree about 'Firepower' - its so good!
It’s one of their weaker albums, imo.
LOVING this! Keep it going!!
I m discovering their discography this very year!! And this is a great companion video for that!
Glad you enjoy it!
Great conversation. I agree more with Grimby. I feel like if Priest is your favorite band , their albums can be ranked differently because their catalogue is so varied.
Personal favorite - Defenders
Best album - Stained Class
I do think their best albums are the early creative ones. Sad Wings/Sin after Sin/Stained Class.
Personal top 5:
1) Unleashed in the East (with the specification that it’s the remastered release that includes more tracks supporting then current album Hell Bent for Leather)
2) Stained Class
3) Defenders of the Faith
4) Hellbent for Leather
5) Screaming for Vengeance
(big fan of the Les Binks-era on drums)
Runner ups are Sin After Sin, Painkiller, and Sad Wings of Destiny. Glad to see y’all back for this guys.
That live album gets a lot of love! Great list too. Cheers and thanks.
Great video guys! I’m 50 years old and didn’t realize it, until I watched this video, that I’ve misread Stained Class for about 40 years. This whole time I thought it was “Stained Glass”! I didn’t get to see Priest live until the Nostradamus tour, but I did get to see Fight once and Rob Halford, on the Maiden/Halford/Queensryche tour. While I’m not the biggest Priest fan, I do enjoy a large chunk of their discography and have a deep admiration and respect for their contribution to music.
Glad you're back! Hope you'll do more metal discography reviews in the future!

Stained Class is the 1st Priest album with a foreign language (french). Check the lyrics to Saints in Hell.
Abattoir, abattoir, mon dieu quelle horreur

Necromancer and children of the sun may be my 2 favs off firepower give them another chance!
A fan since 1981 and Nostradamus is my favorite Album
Glad to hear it!
No it’s not
Unleashed in the East is a masterpiece

Rocka Rolla (5/10)
Sad Wings of Destiny (10/10)
Sin After Sin (9/10)
Stained Class (9.5/10)
Hell Bent for Leather (9/10)
British Steel (10/10)
Point of Entry (7/10)
Screaming for Vengeance (8.5/10)
Defenders of The Faith (9.5/10)

Angel of Retribution (6.5/10)
Nostradamus (7.5/10)
Redeemer of Souls (7.5/10)
Firepower (8/10)
Been a fan for many, many years. Still have yet to listen to the Tim Owens albums. I dunno, he's just not my thing.
I started with Painkiller, and then went all the way back to the 70s albums. Sad Wings is forever my favorite, but British Steel is so good. Defenders is amazing and I like Turbo more than most seem to. I'm not huge on their most recent albums, but when they're good, they're really good (like Nostradamus, Visions, Judas Rising, Lochness, Redeemer of Souls, Spectre etc).
Haven't fully listened to Invincible Shield yet, but Panic Attack, Serpent and the King and some of the other tracks are the best they've done since Painkiller. Like, they've absolutely recaptured the magic, and I already thought they were great on Firepower.
I love Rocka Rolla. It was the early 70s..It was badass
Metal Gods is NOT bad it is SUBLIME!!!!.
King Diamond or Black Sabbath discography review?
Man you took me through my high school years. But I graduated in 84. I agree with both of you. But you talk about patterns and mythical characters. Tell me that the exciter the sentinel and the painkiller are not the same dude. Lol
Nostradamus is an amazing album imho
Dude I was literally waiting for you to say this! Awesome.
Guys put a lot of efforts into this album and narrow minded people who literally did not hear a bit off this album smash this album. Imho this album has its flaws of course (length, lack of guitars at times, fakt orchestration) but the musicianship is there, some songs are very deep and emotional (Alone, Exiled, Future of Mankind...) for me its 6,5/10 album easily
You guys are wrong about Point of Entry. If I had to introduce them to a rock fan that would be the album. Sure if you define yourself as a metalhead then you won't like it too much. Ditto for Hell Bent for Leather. Those are the most rock and roll albums so for a mainly rock fan like myself those two are right up there with the best.
Hellbent for Leather is a saying/phrase.
Stained glass every track awesome but my favorite is hero's end
Worth fighting for is a great song. Angel is a great song. Redeemer of Souls is a masterpiece. Rising from ruins is the best Priest song of all time. Never the hero is a great anti-war song.
Dissident Agressor Priest won a Grammy
Can u update with Panic Attack which is their best album in a while.
Wait till you hear invincible shield 🛡️
Painkiller best metal album all time
When was this video made? You must have known that Invincible Shield was coming out?!!
It was made before the new album was even announced. I shelved it, waited, edited it in Jan 2024.
@@MetalbyteMedia OK thanks for the clarification!
Ripper is perfect in KK's Priest, they deliever as good or better than Judas Priest. Seen them live twice and he is awesome
They played Never Satisfied from Rocka Rolla many times in concert. I heard Dave Holland went to jail for child molestation.
Name a band that had an open hammer on riff, Metal Gods? Mix in Iconic vocals. Metal Gods is a quintessential metal song. Not weak. British Steel was NOT a commercial album whatsoever. Their popularity maturated over time, no real watershed moment. Living on MTV you could point to. British Steel commercial??? Where?
Jug to me is 8 and Demolish is maybe 8.2 or something like this. These two are very different albums and I still can't understand which one I like better. Angel is 8.4. Everything after that is below 6.
Agree
What happened to these guys? Did they start a Patreon or something? Guess I’m late to the party
Nothing happened really. I just take forever to edit videos. Cheers!
Ataboy Grimby YES TURBO is awesome huge classic in its time and it’s lives on real strong when playing the album.
A great album loaded with positiveness considering what Rob was going through at that time, a real “Tour de force”
The Metal monster that is depicted on the cover of DOTF is the Metallion That album is their best album they ever made.....if there was no DOTF Painkiller would never have existed. I was at the MSG concert where they were banned for life....best show and Halford was at the top of his prime singing....The vocals on Painkiller are good but not better than that album.
Ripper Owen "SUCKED" Metal Messiah is a great song.
The review of the Nostradamus from the younger guy is simple horrible..:-D Dude, but why not, also opinion..The best priest album..
HBFL- 10/10
Why does redeemer of souls get a bad rating . It kicks ass . I count the 5 extra songs. And everyone loves firepower. I don't get it. There both great .
I think firepower is better but... i dont get it either. I really like most of those songs and it has a lot of energy. I mean... on metal archives is the second worst album, What?
I must be the only person that likes demolition way more than jugulator. Listen to them again !!!!
I do too it has more melody to it, none of them are great of course but Demolition is compared to Jugulator.
Jugulator and Nostradamus are great Albums (9). The younger guy just don't know nothing about music. The albums 3 and 4 there are not 10.
lol
You know why Rob sounds so good on Firepower? Because of multitracking and various production tricks. Listen to it on good headphones.
Yeah man great point on production and here's an Andy Sneap quote: "they're playing in E flat now, so they are semitone down"
blabbermouth.net/news/judas-priests-new-album-contains-some-real-classic-moments-says-producer-andy-sneap
You say its time abandon this band? Fine enough
These guys throw perfect 10's to WAY too many albums across different videos. There's no way all these albums given a 10 each had no filler and was perfect beginning to end. Come on already. Turbo a 9 too??......
I agree and solid comment. 10/10!
