This cd is okay and that's all. Vh1 and all the dumbies who listen to radio and magazines will tell you this is "THE PRIEST ALBUM" but they always fail to acknowledge the true masterpieces by priest, pushing many people away from Judas priest without knowing it. My first taste of priest was this album and it gave me the impression Priest was just another average rock band. I went through years of thinking the band was just another mediocre band like ACDC or KISS. It wasn't untill years later when a friend lent me Sad Wing of Destiny and Defenders of the Faith till I realized why Judas priest is phenominal. If you already own Sin after Sin, Stained Class, Sad wings, Painkiler, Defenders, and screaming, than pick this up. If not, get the albums I just mentioned first, they blow this LP away. This is a good album for people that like the more radio friendly, and less metal Judas priest songs, but even Killing machine is a better place for radio priest than this. All in all, this cd is okay...maybe good, but nowhere near the masterpiece VH1 and some fans say it is. If Priest was hailed for albums like Sad Wings instead of just this record, then maybe Priest would be taken as seriously as Pink Floyd and Zeppelin and they would be loved by just as many people as those bands...
