A masterpiece of heavy metal that combines melody and a sense of speed.
This is Judas Priest's masterpiece that brought them worldwide success. The sharp twin leads and precise rhythms create a beautifully constructed sound, combining aggression and sophistication.
The sharpness of the guitar riffs and the precision of the rhythm section combine to create a metallic sound that permeates the entire album. Produced by Tom Allom, the album is solid yet the contours of the melody are clearly defined. "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" serves as a metal anthem symbolizing the MTV era, propelling the band into the mainstream. Amidst the driving force, the precision of the composition is felt, making this a historic work that established the standard for '80s metal.
