Cmon, Defenders Of The Faith is under Demolition, Point Of Entry and Turbo ?

Turbo has an excuse(yeah yeah,very glam but still cute), and Demo/PointOE quite simple they are difficult to rate(it saves them)
and since the Defenders has a little flaw he is in the right place (imo) he is worse than Angel Of Retribution but better those below him
but what about first spot? do you like Redeemer Of Souls?

I think the Hero,Hero is my favorite. I never understood what Stained Class was about. Rocka Rolla is a lame pun. Sin After Sin looks ok but doesn't make much sense. I don't know what Point Of Entry is supposed to be either.

METALWORKS


SAD WINGS OF DESTINY
love this one


KILLING MACHINE
this one really has a cool concept I think, they nailed the cyborg/biker/bountyhunter aesthetics


UNLEASHED IN THE EAST (backcover)
I really like the attitude they had at that time, them leatherboys


BRITISH STEEL
nice concept, mmh could have looked better


SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE


SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE (reissue)


DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH
I don't understand what's wrong about this one, it looks gorgeous to me, I like the sharpness of the colors. Maybe the muzzle looks flat


TURBO
the concept seems stupid to me. It kinda looks cool though. The purple version looks better as you said.


TURBO (purple)


PAINKILLER
really one the coolest one, great design and composition and colors and all


JUGULATOR
from afar it looks correct, but the more you zoom the less it does, what are those strange fingers ?


ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION
very nice one


NOSTRADAMUS
ugly photoshop ?


REDEEMER OF SOULS
ulgier photoshop ? The flames are bothering me. Also the fireball that he throws with a wrong angle. Everything seems off. Like the soundmixing by the way. But also it looks like a shiny yu-gi-oh card


FIREPOWER
ok that looks stunning

To be honest I'd be more interested in JP music list and discussion.

So you thought fishing for by flooding the shoutbox with clickbaiting spam was a good idea?
I mean - you really did?

Tbh Judas Priest only has a couple of good album covers. Most of the covers they have are crap.

Only thing I find strange is you mentioning the colours on Redeemer Of Souls. That's actually the most common colour scheme you can pick. Orange and teal. That is the most common colour scheme used in film (there are reasons for that like orange fitting really well with skin colour and blue/teal being the contrasting colour to orange).

That said, I'm not a huge fan of that cover either. It looks off for some reason. There are only a couple artwork pieces that I think are exceptional.

Sad Wings Of Destiny, Jugulator are the only ones that really stand out for me. Though I really like Painkiller and Firepower as well.

Fun fact: The cover of Unleashed in the East has no drummer.

Most of Judas covers are quite bad. As are most of their lyrics. Luckily, most of their music is good

What the previous two said.

While metal is obviously mostly about the actual music, I also find that cover art plays a vital role. The artwork sets the mood and encapsulates the emotions of the music visually.

Of course there are exceptions where it seems like the band couldn't care less about their cover art (most fitting examples off the top of my head are Metallica's black album and Black Sabbath's Master of Reality). But when there is effort put into the music as well as the cover art, for me, it just makes the overall experience so much better!

Thanks for making this list - I liked your comments to each. Defenders of the Faith looks weird up close, but that adds to the charm )
