Anybody here ever notices this cycle?

Painkiller is far from their best album, it's just the only one you've listened to.

I enjoy Painkiller, but I like Screamin For Vengeance. 'You've Got Another Thing Comin' is phenomenal.

Hell even the new one, Angel of Retribution, is good
 
I have heard all JP albums, painkiller is my favorite by far

Leather rebel, painkiller and night crawler = essential metal Anthems.

how the fuck can you hear "leather rebel" and not feel a huge surge of energy and adrenaline pumping through your veins? one of the most uplifting metal songs ever.

I don't have Rocka Rolla, Juggulator or Demolition. I will not attempt to rank the Priest albums, excluding those three, going from "Most Awesome" to "Least Awesome", since there they're all good:

Hellbent For Leather
Defenders of the Faith
Sad Wings of Destiny
Sin After Sin
Stained Class
Painkiller
British Steel
Screaming for Vengeance
Ram it Down
Point of Entry
Angel of Retribution
Turbo


That was tough. It should be noted that I like Turbo a lot. Priest... Live! and Unleashed in the East are also pretty great, and the Metalogy is quite possibly the coolest thing of all time.
