To me, Judas Priest is the bridge between Iron Maiden/Dio-era Sabbath and hair metal. They have the feel of the former, but definitely also have a bit of that glam feel of the latter. In other words - metal enough to be credible, but cheesy enough to be fun. I dig it, but it’s also a clear reminder why Sabbath and Iron Maiden are the gods of British metal. This album specifically is solid all the way through, but a little same-y at times. I’d say 3.5 stars, but rounded up because it rocks.
