GMD Poll: Judas Priest’s Discography Ranked

[crimsonfloyd]

#16 Nostradamus (2008)

Average Points: 3.88/17

The cabaret singing, overstated keys, drown out guitar, god awful lyrics, god awful concept and unforgivably dragged out pacing make this a release that only a ridiculously huge fan could love. I am a ridiculously huge fan (I even love Point of Entry and Turbo), and one must understand that the band has already achieved everything of importance that they could (in the 70's). They're old now. They're fucking old now.

#15 Demolition (2001)

Average Points: 4.06/17

Jugulator is bad, but Demolition is terrible. Just survived both albums back to back. If I never hear them again, it will be too soon.

#14 Ram it Down (1988)

Average Points: 5.01/17

I'm gonna ram it down your point of entry and make turbo love.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#13 Angel of Retribution (2005)

Average Points: 5.78/17

Here's one:

Angel of Retribution is better than British Steel

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#12 Turbo (1986)

Average Points: 6.03/17

Turbo is a bit more commercial sounding than Point of Entry, but at least they sound like they actually tried on Turbo. More than half of the songs on Point of Entry either sound boring (Troubleshooting, Solar Angels, Turning Circles), or just plain stupid (You Say Yes, All the Way).

In conclusion, Turbo is better, because it's fun to listen to without sounding dumb. It's a nice party album.

#11 Point of Entry (1981)

Average Points: 6.25/17

I also noticed that Point of Entry has a lot of shitty tracks. Turning Circles, You Say Yes, and All the Way must be like top 5 worst JP tracks ever.

#10 Redeemer of Souls (2014)

Winner of the "Their best album since..." trophy.

Average Points: 6.66/17

...Redeemer of Souls. That record just crushes your face.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#9 Rocka Rolla (1974)

Average Points: 7.79/17

rocka rolla is pretty great but a bit haphazard. it lacks total focus but has some fun songs.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#8 Defenders of Faith (1984)

Average Points: 9.53/17

So what's the most "metal" Priest album?

defenders of the faith because there's nothing more metal than sucking on a big veiny cock

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#7 Killing Machine/ Hell Bent For Leather (1978)

Average Points: 10.19/17

By the time they get to Stained Class they're like "ok, we just defined what heavy metal is, so what now?" So they went back to their roots a bit with Hell Bent For Leather - more of a rock n roll vibe.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#6 Painkiller (1990)

Average Points: 10.59/17

So what's the most "metal" Priest album?

Painkiller, because it's the most metal album that fucking exists.

Super polarizing record. Was either in the top 3 or bottom 3 of most people's lists.

#10 Redeemer of Souls (2014)

Average Points: 6.66/17

Well I feel bad not trying this before voting, listening now and impressed.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I think its exclusion from people's lists actually bumped it up.

 

[PrincessHades]

Of the ones I have listened to:

5. British Steel
4. Defenders of the Faith
3. Jugulator
2. Sad Wings of Destiny
1. Painkiller

Could have also gone in controversial options on metal.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#5 British Steel (1980)

Average Points: 11.82/17

British Steel is near perfect heavy metal in my opinion.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#4 Screaming for Vengeance (1982)

Average Points: 11.93/17

Screaming For Vengeance kicks ass, and this is based on careful reevaluation yesterday speeding down the motorway pumping my fist and SCREEEEEEEEEAAAMING! SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE! on my way to school.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#3 Sin After Sin (1977)

Average Points: 13.02/17

Every song on Sin After Sin is greatness.

Sin After Sin is terrible

This fucking thread... good find @crimsonfloyd

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#2 Stained Class (1978)

Average Points: 13.3/17

Listening to Stained Class on vinyl=Can't even fucking describe the feeling

Stained Class > most bands discographies, x10

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#1 Sad Wings of Destiny (1976)

Average Points: 16.06/17 (8 out of 12 voters ranked it #1)

I think there is one thing that we all can agree on: Sad Wings of Destiny is a fucking work of art? Disagree? Go fuck yourself, faggot.
