1980 is the year that was generous enough to give us the debut albums / masterpieces by Iron Maiden, Diamond Head and Angel Witch. It was also the time that Saxon released their two (!) greatest records, Wheels Of Steel and Strong Arm Of The Law, thus making 1980 the year that marked the explosion of New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Today is the 40th anniversary of "Heavy Metal Thunder", "20,000 Ft", "Dallas 1PM" and the other five heavy metal anthems of Strong Arm Of The Law, which makes it a great opportunity to blast this all-killer-no-filler album in its entirety.

There may not be many tracks on the album, but each one of those tracks are fist-pumping, take-no-shit metal anthems that never let down for the remaining 30-odd minutes of the album. I especially like '6th Form' (a nice 'British' song for the British fans) and vicious 'To hell and back again'.

A couple of absolute crackers on this one and it's pretty solid overall. One of their better albums.
