I am so glad that Tony Moore is back in the band! THUNDERSTEEL!

1. The Privilege Of Power
2. Thundersteel

These two are just fantastic power metal albums with a hint of prog in "TPOP".

3. Fire Down Under
4. Narita

Classics!!!

5. Inishmore
6. Shine On (if live albums count)

"Inishmore" was a great, great Rainbow meets Thin Lizzy sounding hard rock disc, and the live album was really cool.

7. Sons Of Society

A bit more heavy than "Inishmore", yet still pretty good.

8. Born In America
9. Restless Breed

I liked them back in the day, but time has for some reason caught up to those quicker than "FDU" and "Narita".

10. Breathen Of The Long House
11. Through The Storm
12. Nightbreaker

So, so material ... but not awesome in anyway.

13. Rock City
I didn't really like this one ... too basic a debut!

I haven't heard the last one, "Army Of One"...

So I got "Privilege of Power" today. I've only listened to it once, but it is pretty good. As was said earlier, it sounds nothing like "Thundersteel." I'm going to slowly acquire more albums by these guys, probably starting with "Fire Down Under." They are such a great band. Does anyone know if they still play in the U.S.? It seems the only live dates I've seen have been in Europe.

Is your band gonna play this tune at your next gig? I hope so!

My favourite is Inishmore. It has some great drumming by Bobby Jarzombek. Also my favourite Riot singer is Mike Dimeo. His top performance with Riot is probably in this album.

I remember when I first stumbled upon Riot...I still have my Born In America cassette. w00t!
Great band; absolutely underrated, just some of the most asskicking classic metal around.
So glad to hear about more people discovering this band.
