Ok, I'm gonna attempt to start something that will either be interesting or fail miserably. I'm opening up a sort of reviewer's roundtable, not just to staff, but all forum regulars. I'm hoping to make this sorta special. like our Iron Maiden or Testament feature. So, the subject matter is Judas Priest, and for the next 15 weeks (if my count is accurate), I invite you all to take part in a discussion of each studio album the Metal Gods have created over the course of their career. I'm not gonna go in chronological order, but the threads will be labeled appropriately. It'll be interesting to see which albums get more or less responses, etc., etc.
Originally released in 1984 (a hallmark year for metal), this album was a bit darker in my opinion than it's predecessor, Screaming For Vengeance. The band was huge by this point.
Who all remembers the silly video game video for Freewheel Burning??
Hilarious.

I remember my older cousin played the shit out of Priest during the Screaming/Defenders era. These songs bring back lots of memories. And of course, loads of classics form this one, too.
Discuss. :Spin:
