Title: It's not the Saxon I know
Review: Before this one Saxon released "Unleash the beast", their best album in years. Then came this one: "Metalhead" - a record that lack everything "Unleash the beast" had. The material is weak with the exception of two songs ("Conquistador" and "What goes around"), and it seems to me that Saxon were trying to update their music without any success at all. Maybe this album deserve 1 1/2 star but to be frank - two good songs aren't enough."Metalhead" is not a good starting point to explore this great band that have not only been a huge inspiration to heavy metal, but also managed to stay alive through thick and thin. Thankfully Saxon returned after this musical failure with the much better and more traditional sounding "Killing ground". If you want Saxon at their best you should get "Strong arm of the law", "Denim and leather" and "Unleash the beast".
