In the 2007 book Metal: The Definitive Guide, author Garry Sharpe-Young wrote that the album consists of "radio-friendly fillers." Moreover, Sharpe-Young called the original British artwork "bland" and subsequent American alternative artwork "an even worse compromise." Opinions about the album from within the band have been mixed. Ian Hill has stated, "It came across… people think it's just a commercial album. And it's not, there are some good songs in there. And I think it's overlooked.". In a Louder article, it is noted that "Halford admits to being "dismayed" by the reaction it received." In the same Louder article, K.K. Downing takes on a more mixed perspective, stating, "People don't understand how pressurised we were by the label, either to do covers or make hits", he says. "With that album, we gave them what they wanted." Track listing Personnel Judas Priest Rob Halford – vocals K. K.
