Also, Fear of the Dark is clearly faaaaaaaaaaaaaar less consistent than any Judas Priest album prior to Jugulator.
I think we need to consider that a large part of why Iron Maiden might seem more consistent is that they were a lot more samey and less risky. Iron Maiden hasnt changed nearly as much as Judas Priest has and they have a furmula they tend follow to a lot more closely. Theyre simply to put it a lot more safe.
That's relatively accurate. You could also argue that Priest was way more trendy--in the sense of trying to follow trends, for better and worse.
What about Averse Sefira? I think they got progressively better. Although I slightly favour their third of the fourth.
Dream Evil contains some of Dio's worst songs
Point of Entry is obviously not a good album, I'd rank it below Ram it Down.
FoD is quite up and down, I'm with you there, but half of Turbo and RiD are unbearably bad. Sure songs like "Weekend Warrior" are pretty dumb, but at least their listenable. On the other hand, songs like "Parental Guidance" and "Love Zone" are so terrible that I don't plan to ever listen to them again.
Deceased is the only metal band that got better with every album (not counting the covers album). Or well they're the only band that i prefer their albums in reverse chronological order
Point of Entry is classic Priest, and Turbo and Ram It Down are middle-of-the-road, good albums.
I know, it stupefies flaming autistics like yourself at first, but it'll all work out in the end, don't worry.
From Here to Eternity is worse than anything on Turbo, but I do agree that Parental Guidance is the worst on Turbo (probably a ~4/10 song, vocal melodies are shit and it kinda plods but it isn't quite offensive).

His best album. No song is worse than an 8/10.
It's a great album. I used to not like Troubleshooter but even that one is pretty good in my book now.

You're the one tongue massaging your own prostate pal, so telling me to remove my head from my ass is the last thing you need to be concerned with. You critiquing of Point of Entry as nothing but supbar AOR is hilarious, given you're the same troglodyte that champions shit like Deathspell Omega over Venom.Yeah, obviously there's something wrong with me if I don't "get" a run-of-the-mill, early 80s AOR album. Get your head out of your ass.
