A DIAMOND AMID DROSS.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Genocide (Audio CD)
I have just scanned Amazon's music Top 100 Metal albums, and as I write these lines , I am in in a state of shock, not to say indignant disgust. No mention of Birmingham's finest, Judas Priest , who seemed to have been willfully erased from HM archives.And a loss this is. It is true, their first effort - as reissued here -(Rocka Rolla) left a bit to be desired ; sludgy recording, hackneyed ideas, tired delivery - but even in songs such as Cheater , Haldford's distinctive ( and 8 octave ) vocals penetrate. 8 octaves is what opera singers must have - and is an exceedingly rare weapon in the armoury of any rock outfit. ( Think of another band - I defy you. ) Priest never wasted that weapon, and on that gem of early UK metal- once more lyrically entitled " Sad Wings of Destiny " - now, the more belligerent "Genocide", Halford and co. began to pound the metal world. The seven minutes of Victim of Changes is a master work of meshed guitars , restrained vocals and dreamy interludes, eventually culminating in Rob's agaonised scream . For a good ten years , that scream was harkened ; Priest were acknowleded at the epicentre of that most emotive of musical genres, HM. Is there any more controlled vocal performance in the whole varied canon of metal than on Priest's "Dreamer"? Again Halford ascends his vocal range with ease, and and , at it's very summit, sings shrilly , :" If you think- you will find a way "- words of resolve and steel. A shame, a real shame that todays metal heads, or Korn heads or whatever they call themselves, will not harken to the Priest. Maybe some already do, but are unaccountably timid... show yourselves, and bathe yourslf in molten metal. The Priest will have no peer.

good but all previouly released,
By Oliver R. Laprad - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Genocide (Audio CD)
would be a 4 star review but everything has been released over and over again. Basically "Genocide" is the first 2 Judas Priest albums (Rocka Rolla & Sad Wings of Destiny)on a 2 CD set. it has a bonus track "Diamonds And Rust" which is a different version than on "Sin After Sin" but it is the same as on "Hero Hero" which was another collection of the first 2 albums released in 84. so if you are a Priest fan and don't already have the first 2 albums, this is a good deal because its cheaper than buying them separetly. If you already have the songs, there is nothing new.

Good sounding, economical release that is poorly packaged.,
By Dlokazip - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Genocide (Audio CD)
This is a combined reissue of Judas Priest's first two albums, Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings Of Destiny. If you already have those two albums, you don't need this one.
The music on here is very good. Do not believe other reviewers who claim that the sound quality on this release is bad. It is as good as it gets. The real issue is the packaging. None of the artwork is included from the original albums, which is good in case of Rocka Rolla, but bad in the case of Sad Wings Of Destiny. Furthermore, the photographs included in the booklet and on the back cover are from the late 80s, even though the music is from 1974-1976. There is, also, a brief biography in the booklet, the accuracy of which has been called into question. There are many repackages of this material on the market and none of the money actually goes to the band, so it really doesn't matter which version you get. If you want the all of the music from this era in an inexpensive package and really don't care about the artwork, then this is the one to get. Otherwise, buy the original albums separately. 3 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Don't buy it--You are getting ripped off!!!!,
By Grog "Canadian Metalhead" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Genocide (Audio CD)
This is an attemp by Gull records to cash in on the Judas Priest name. This album and Hero, Hero are unauthorized, substandard reissues of the first two Judas Priest albums Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings Of Destiny. The sound Quality sucks and there is no new material on these that you won't get on the actual albums, which are still available through Cdnow/Amazon.
Support Judas Priest, the best heavy metal band of all time, and don't waste your money on this crap. Buy the real thing Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings Of Destiny. |
