Songs like 'Metal Gods' and 'Electric Eye' were years ahead of the times. And they predicted what is to come with A.I. and government surveillance.

Great to see you guys again!

great video guys, I missed this! - agree about 'Firepower' - its so good!

Beyond the Realms of Death is also my favourite song from my favourite band from my favourite album of that band

Personal top 5: 1) Unleashed in the East (with the specification that it’s the remastered release that includes more tracks supporting then current album Hell Bent for Leather) 2) Stained Class 3) Defenders of the Faith 4) Hellbent for Leather 5) Screaming for Vengeance (big fan of the Les Binks-era on drums) Runner ups are Sin After Sin, Painkiller, and Sad Wings of Destiny. Glad to see y’all back for this guys.

Little did we knew at that time that Judas was about to release one of their very best and most complete album of all time INVINCIBLE SHIELD

Great conversation. I agree more with Grimby. I feel like if Priest is your favorite band , their albums can be ranked differently because their catalogue is so varied. Personal favorite - Defenders Best album - Stained Class I do think their best albums are the early creative ones. Sad Wings/Sin after Sin/Stained Class.

LOVING this! Keep it going!! I m discovering their discography this very year!! And this is a great companion video for that!

Stained Class is the 1st Priest album with a foreign language (french). Check the lyrics to Saints in Hell.

Glad you're back! Hope you'll do more metal discography reviews in the future!

Savage is a great song on Stained Class, specifically Halfords vocals

So good! Took me a week to finish in installments. Learned a lot and going back to check out some albums I may not have given enough attention. Looking forward to your Invisible Shield review!

If you look at the cover of point of entry album it’s actually a illusion it’s a pair of legs (the black asphalt )with the point of entry words being the crotch area (the blue centre line of road)) and the horizon being the waist area Favourite band been following them for 43 years

I feel bad for Glenn, nobody talked about his solo album which I think is really good. I know you're reviewing priest but at least you gave Rob credit for a couple of his solo projects.

Judas Priest is my favourite Metal band ever since 1981. My favourite album is Sad wings...My introduction was British steel.Imo they never made a bad album. Rob is the best vocalist of all time. Great video guys a true pleasure. Thank you for the great information.

Judas Priest is my favorite all time band. I saw them live every tour from Turbo til Redeemer but stopped because I wanted to remember them at there best. The 91 ram it down tour was the best I ever heard Rob sing, the Painkiller tour was just insane but the Turbo tour was by far the most amazing concert I’ve ever seen. Stage, lighting, performance and energy was simply off the charts. Long live Judas Priest!!! I’ve seen them live more the 2 dozen times and they are one of the best live bands ever. I am a singer, guitarist and songwriter who all my early inspiration came from Priest and I did a 1 man tribute to them where I played all instruments and all vocals and yes I am not Rob, K.K. or Glenn but I sure did have a blast doing these songs! kzfaq.info/sun/PLy56_RJXJR1wOXqmZ0VYppl22ClzAdZCg&si=1d5Skr-8sRw2r5G7

amazing video!

Welcome back to the interweb. Great to see y’all again. For me, “Stained Class,” “Defenders,” and “Painkiller” are all solid 10s. I like the first three albums quite a bit, but the ballads detract from their greatness for me. And Grimby is 100% correct that “Persistence” is Anthrax’s best album. Not even close.

Defenders of the Faith for me. I was in high school when that dropped. It was the first album I bought from Priest and I loved it. It was so great to hear when the world was filled with all this WHAM and Micheal Jackon crud.

Thank you for this! It was fun watching and listening to your opinions. Please, do Anthrax! That would be interesting too! Persistence of Time is their best for me but they've done a lot great stuff. Even the 90s stuff is great, I think :)

Great video and good album picks my favorites from priest are sin after sin defenders of the faith and painkiller

The main difference between stained and hell bent for leather was. If you listened to the previous 3. Halford was screaming with a high pitch , than came delivering the goods was low voice halford . 😮

I love alot of the songs on Nostradamus. I think I like it better because now I can just pick out the 7-8 songs I love and throw them on a playlist. So, I haven't listen to the full album in years. So, I agree to long with too many interludes, but I still view it fondly.

A note of reference for you guys from the UK. When Sad Wings was originally released as an LP, Side 1 is the segment that starts with Prelude/Tyrant and ends with Island Of Domination. Side 2 starts with Victim Of Changes and ends with Deceiver. The CD releases have the entirely wrong sequencing.

the beauty of being a Priest fan is that you see the progression of the band. Listen to the solo on Tyrant on sad wings then listen to it on unleashed. then a decade or 2 later listen to Glenn tapping and sweep picking on Painkiller

Stained Class is the cream of the crop. But I love pretty much all of their albums. And Invincable Shield is gonna end up near the top. It’s killer

I think sometimes people don't put the right number for how they feel about an album. The one guy gave Redeemer an 8 but when he explained how he felt about the songs it would indicate a 6 at most.

Necromancer and children of the sun may be my 2 favs off firepower give them another chance!

A fan since 1981 and Nostradamus is my favorite Album

Very hard to rank em all, but I did mine in batches of tied albums… Angel Defenders Screaming Painkiller Entry Demolition Turbo Ram it down British steel Killing machine Firepower Sin after sin Stained class Jugulator Shield Nostradamus Sad Wings Rolla Redeemer

I like how you do it! Jugulator and Nostradamus are underrated. My list: ROCKA ROLLA - 16 - 7,5/10 SAD WINGS OF DESTINY - 2 - 10/10 SIN AFTER SIN - 7 - 9/10 STAINED CLASS - 1 - 10/10 KILLING MACHINE - 4 - 9,5/10 BRITISH STEEL - 6 - 9/10 POINT OF ENTRY - 15 - 7,5/10 SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE - 9 - 8,5(10 DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH - 5 - 9,5/10 TURBO - 17 - 6/10 RAM IN DOWN - 10 - 8/10 PAINKILLER - 3 - 10/10 JUGULATOR - 11 - 8/10 DEMOLITION - 18 - 5,5/10 ANGEL OF RETRUBITION - 12 - 8/10 NOSTRADAMUS - 14 - 7,5/10 REEDEMER OF SOULS - 13 - 7,5/10 FIREPOWER - 8 - 8,5/10

Unleashed in the East is a masterpiece

Nice analysis. Hey what is that beautiful audio piece / player on the shelf?

You missed your opportunity to Love 'Solar Angels' on the oft criticized album 'Point of Entry'. AND, yes, I was all peace out when Turbo came out, til Painkiller. The 9 for Painkiller is a head scratcher. Metal Meltdown 'not bad', you are joking, it's EPIC. Can we thank Tim Ripper Owens for saving Priest, he brought energy and young fans to this band. And your are right, Rob's snobbishness regarding his absence, is just sad. Nortradamus is a Masterpiece, period.

Hellbent for Leather is a saying/phrase.

Rocka Rolla (5/10) Sad Wings of Destiny (10/10) Sin After Sin (9/10) Stained Class (9.5/10) Hell Bent for Leather (9/10) British Steel (10/10) Point of Entry (7/10) Screaming for Vengeance (8.5/10) Defenders of The Faith (9.5/10) Turbo (8/10) Ram it Down (7.5/10) Painkiller (10/10) Angel of Retribution (6.5/10) Nostradamus (7.5/10) Redeemer of Souls (7.5/10) Firepower (8/10) Been a fan for many, many years. Still have yet to listen to the Tim Owens albums. I dunno, he's just not my thing. I started with Painkiller, and then went all the way back to the 70s albums. Sad Wings is forever my favorite, but British Steel is so good. Defenders is amazing and I like Turbo more than most seem to. I'm not huge on their most recent albums, but when they're good, they're really good (like Nostradamus, Visions, Judas Rising, Lochness, Redeemer of Souls, Spectre etc). Haven't fully listened to Invincible Shield yet, but Panic Attack, Serpent and the King and some of the other tracks are the best they've done since Painkiller. Like, they've absolutely recaptured the magic, and I already thought they were great on Firepower.

Metal Gods is NOT bad it is SUBLIME!!!!.

Wait till you hear invincible shield 🛡️

I love Rocka Rolla. It was the early 70s..It was badass

Worth fighting for is a great song. Angel is a great song. Redeemer of Souls is a masterpiece. Rising from ruins is the best Priest song of all time. Never the hero is a great anti-war song.

Where would you put Invincible Shield?

King Diamond or Black Sabbath discography review?

Stained glass every track awesome but my favorite is hero's end

When was this video made? You must have known that Invincible Shield was coming out?!!

They played Never Satisfied from Rocka Rolla many times in concert. I heard Dave Holland went to jail for child molestation.

Jug to me is 8 and Demolish is maybe 8.2 or something like this. These two are very different albums and I still can't understand which one I like better. Angel is 8.4. Everything after that is below 6.

Name a band that had an open hammer on riff, Metal Gods? Mix in Iconic vocals. Metal Gods is a quintessential metal song. Not weak. British Steel was NOT a commercial album whatsoever. Their popularity maturated over time, no real watershed moment. Living on MTV you could point to. British Steel commercial??? Where?

The Metal monster that is depicted on the cover of DOTF is the Metallion That album is their best album they ever made.....if there was no DOTF Painkiller would never have existed. I was at the MSG concert where they were banned for life....best show and Halford was at the top of his prime singing....The vocals on Painkiller are good but not better than that album.

Ripper Owen "SUCKED" Metal Messiah is a great song.

Nostradamus is an amazing album imho

The review of the Nostradamus from the younger guy is simple horrible..:-D Dude, but why not, also opinion..The best priest album..

Why does redeemer of souls get a bad rating . It kicks ass . I count the 5 extra songs. And everyone loves firepower. I don't get it. There both great .

HBFL- 10/10

Jugulator and Nostradamus are great Albums (9). The younger guy just don't know nothing about music. The albums 3 and 4 there are not 10.

Ataboy Grimby YES TURBO is awesome huge classic in its time and it’s lives on real strong when playing the album. A great album loaded with positiveness considering what Rob was going through at that time, a real “Tour de force”

I must be the only person that likes demolition way more than jugulator. Listen to them again !!!!

You know why Rob sounds so good on Firepower? Because of multitracking and various production tricks. Listen to it on good headphones.

These guys throw perfect 10's to WAY too many albums across different videos. There's no way all these albums given a 10 each had no filler and was perfect beginning to end. Come on already. Turbo a 9 too??......
