Judas Priest - British Steel 30th Anniversay Edition

Biography

Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Greg Prato
Judas Priest was one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the '70s, spearheading the New Wave of British Heavy Metal late in the decade. Decked out in leather and chains, the band fused the gothic doom of Black Sabbath with the riffs and speed of Led Zeppelin, as well as adding a vicious two-lead guitar attack; in doing so, they set the pace… Read more in Amazon's Judas Priest Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Demolition features Judas Priest's new vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens. While Van Halen thrived following a lead singer switch (the first time around, at least!), Judas Priest aren't likely to be that lucky. It's due not so much to the departure of founding vocalist Rob Halford and the entrance of stellar replacement Owens as it is the waning interest in the old-school metal Priest spearheaded. That and the fact that Demolition's songs--all 70 minutes of them--are pedestrian and often silly. Priest still has the dual guitar onslaught of KK Downing and Glenn Tipton powering the music and Owens's vocals soar. But many of the disc's 13 often-too-lengthy cuts lack the catchy hooks of "Turbo Lover" or driving force of "Living After Midnight." There's a surprising lack of power in "Jekyll and Hyde", "One On One" and the sappy "Close to You". "Feed On Me" and "Machine Man" are winners, but, as a whole, Demolition inflicts little damage. --Katherine Turman

Format:Audio CD
First impressions were not good when I saw the cover. I was extremely disappointed in the lacklustre artwork that breaks a long tradition of sci-fi / robotic metal art drawings. The omission of (or lack of effort to produce) a memorable cover is entirely unforgivable, but nevertheless I was relieved to find that the sonic contents of the album were not a reflection of the poor package design.

"SUBTERFUGE" is an instant classic, the finest song, though "METAL MESSIAH" could have been if the production had been right (Chris Tsangerides co-wrote both of these songs). The weakest is "JEKYLL & HYDE," containing that slight sense of cheapness which has permeated the songs of Judas Priest since former vocalist Rob Halford's unfortunate departure, but which has been thankfully reduced to a minimum on this latest album, "DEMOLITION."

Somehow Glenn Tipton has managed to put his own stamp on Judas Priest's traditional style of Heavy Metal peculiar to that first heard on his solo album, "BAPTIZM OF FIRE" - a kind of vocal feel akin to "Alice in Chains" in some parts. The overall quality of the production on this album, mainly produced by Glenn Tipton, is of a very high standard (though the volume level on "METAL MESSIAH" was comparatively, and woefully, low) and gives a strong aggressive feeling. There are also a few songs that can be classed as "ballads" and these are quite touching in their own way.

One thing that I found immediately evident was the conspicuous lack of "traditional" Judas Priest duelling guitar solos, rather there was more of an emphasis on distinctive effects rather than skilful technical playing and the harmonic rhythms that we are used to hearing from Glenn and KK. Scott Travis' drumming is as awesome as ever, still one of the best drummers in the world, while "Ripper" Owens sounds uncannily like Rob Halford on a few songs (particularly the live version of "THE GREEN MANALISHI").

There are occasional irritations - the excessive, and quite unnecessary, swearing which adds nothing to the songs and is seemingly included to appeal to younger fans - but I would thoroughly recommend this album as it is an out and out Judas Priest album, only Priest are a little different since Rob Halford left.

WEll well well! After Rob Halford's departure as the front man for one of British Metal's most influential bands who, would have thought anyone could fill his shoes? Tim 'ripper' Owens now fronts the band, and it doesnt half do a good job! my primary concern was that Priest would regress back to their 'hey-day' and Halford's replacement would be all immitation. However, this has proved me entirely wrong as Demolition makes many metal albums of recent years pale into insignificance with the superb blending of riffs, amazing vocals and overall prowess of a band that know how to rock! From the subdued "close to you" to the vigourous "feed on me" this album certainly has something for everyonw and will not dissapoint.

This LP in my opinion, is better than Jugulator. It is more melodic and has a greater punch. Owen is not Halford in his youth, but Halford now is less than Owen (I've seen them both live).

Songs like "Metal Messiah", "One on One", "Bloodsuckers" deliver power in a way that only the Priest can do. There are also some new style stuff (like "Hell is Home" and "Subterfuge") that rule. Like all JP records there are 1-2 songs ("Lost And Found", "In Between") that are below average. Don't let this stop you, from getting an LP that will be referred as a classic in 10 years time, and rocks now.

Better than it's predecessor, the awfully named Jugulator, and not a bad heavy metal album per se but there is one fundamental flaw. Read more
