GMD Poll: Judas Priest’s Discography Ranked

[Baroque]

Out of curiosity, does anyone actually start SWOD with "Victim of Changes" rather than "Prelude"?

uh yeah, why wouldn't you?

uh yeah, why wouldn't you?

Because narratively it makes way more sense to go from B to A. Prelude is an obvious album opener, Tyrant functions perfectly as a "kick off" track, "Victim of Changes" is ideal as a centerpiece, and Dreamer Deceiver/ Deceiver is a perfect way to end an album. Flip the order and the flow becomes quite cumbersome. I've always assumed it was just a pressing error.

I'm not picky about it, on Spotify it starts with Victim so I usually go with that.

Sin After Sin is too underrated on the other lists, but it's a very competitive top 8.

On the original pressing, the track list puts B before A so that's how I've always listened to it.

redeemer making top 10 is interesting to me, i should check that one out. i forgot to participate in this but i'm happy with the results.

and yeah i start with 'prelude' as that's the correct order and makes a lot more sense anyway.
