Obviously not the best start into the 80's is this Judas Priest album, although it contains some of the bands classics such as 'Metal Gods', 'Breaking The Law' and 'Living After Midnight', but even these songs have seen better times especially as on stage performances. Nearly all songs on 'British Steel' fail to bring up the metal feeling that the 70's stuff did. The faster the songs the poorer they are, maybe Priest were still tired of their world tour when they recorded this album saying: hey let's make something slower.You can consider it better looking at it as a rock album (with slight american influences regarding the style, which is really irony of fate when you look at the title) than as a metal album. As a rock album it is fun listening, but not at all times, you should at least be in the mood! Read more ›› |

First album with Dave Holland. And his drumming is one of the factors why I consider Priest 80's records are pretty much dead in the water from the start. His playing style is so numb and lacks any kind of feeling to give the songs something extra. Screaming and Defenders have great tracks but in pretty much all cases the songs sounds waaay better on live albums with Scott Travis or Halford solo. British Steel is overall a boring and uninspiring album with some alright tunes. Pretty much never listen to this one.
