Sin After Sin is often received with mixed emotions. Firstly, it isn't a commercial music product at all, which makes it fascinating. A masterpiece to be slowly digested. This album is one of Priest's most intriguing, yet brilliant productions. It touches many musical ranges... it is heavy (ie. the Sinner), brutally heavy (Dissident Aggresor), furious (Call for the Priest), soft and moody (Last Rose of Summer), atmospheric and soulful (Here Come the Tears), et all.
Rob Halford's vocals and lyrics are at their peak here. Glenn and KK's guitars are imaginative, skillful and impressive. Ian Hill's bass is... mmmh, let's better skip that with Simon Phillip's incredible drumming!! Until this day I still can't believe some of the prodigious and intricate drums parts he laid down for those sessions (sadly, he only acted as a session player). Simon started a whole thrashy drum movement with his dexterity in Sin After Sin. Roger Glover's production here is frequently critized for not achieving a heavier sound, but I disagree with that, as the end result is just what was needed musically.
The real beauty of Sin After Sin is that one can actually listen to many new subtle things each time one listens to it, no matter how many times played back... and that simply doesn't happen often these days. IT HAS MAGIC ALL OVER IT. This is a must item in any rock CD collection. A timeless classic!

Being chronologically sandwiched between Sad Wings and Stained Class has done Sin After Sin no favours at all. The problem being that this album has an entirely different feel about it, however, it should be enjoyed on it's own merits and not compared to those other two.
It's a cracking little album and quite a bold move from the band as well after the huge opus of Sad Wings. Three of the tracks on side one are absolute Priest classics - (Sinner, Diamonds and Rust, Starbreaker) - whilst the fourth track, The Last Rose Of Summer, is one of those beautiuful ballads that Priest used to do so well but have been sadly lacking in some of their later work. Side two is almost a concept and in my opinion they hardly put a foot wrong apart from the guitars sounding a bit Brian May-ish in places. But so what! The album finishes with Dissident Aggressor which has lyrics that may not sound so shocking these days but seemed incredibly violent at the time and the song has been cited by the likes of Lars Ulrich as a major influence.
Overall, it's not as hard or heavy as SWOD or Stained Class but it is fast, punchy, different, hugely enjoyable and I love it.

Sin after Sin has always been one of my favourite JP albums. The production (by Roger Glover) is flawed but the remastering gives it a much needed boost. There is simply not enough bottom end to do real justice to classic tracks such as Dissident Aggressor and Starbreaker. Minor quibbles over I must mention the drumming of session man Simon Phillips who does a fantastic job on this album. Race with the Devil is a nice bonus but the live Jawbreaker seems a little out of place.

Along with the rest of the 70's 'S' albums, I rate this trio of albums the pinnicle of the Priest.

A flawed classic
