Elegant Weapons - Evolution Richie comes up with cool riffs and licks, as always. The album is a nice listen, their sound has evolved a bit, which is good, but the album has no song like Do Or Die from the debut. The material can feel samey and run-of-the-mill, but overall it is better than...

Crimson Glory - Chasing The Hydra Solid prog metal writing, heavy riffs, interesting and worthy playing, good vocals. ''Redden The Sun'' is a solid Halford-esque banger and one of the best songs with its verses, chorus and instrumental section (classic outro for them), the title track sums up...

Elegant Weapons - Bridges Burn New album Evolution out in April, 3 years after the debut. The cover is futuristic (not something wow) with one color as a background. The song continues their style from the debut, I think it's weaker than their first singles. The riff is heavy rock, the...

Solar Angels has a cool and heavy riff, but it's not really a (good, imo) live song. Even for Rob, although it's easy for him. It always sounded like a 70s Priest song to me. Btw, they could have used a more epic screen video/art for it. They could have played the underrated Reckless instead...

Wings Of Steel - Winds Of Time Second album from them, solid classic metal (8 songs!). Good production, vocalist and playing. A must for old school metal fans. I like how there are songs with lengths: 10, two 6, 8, two 5 minutes. Best songs: the title track, ''We Rise'', ''Burning Sands''...

So, I listened to the new album a few times. I think most fans will like it more than the previous album. It definitely feels more like an 80's/90's album in a way. But it's also like not full-force power metal in parts and style elements. I have no problem with that for their music. I'm not a...

Footage of some songs, including Shadow and Gods Of War (Bruce is having so much fun with the Taiko drums, camera from the above... I wish they were for Eternity): Shadow is such a special song. I really miss a proper solo. The heavy riff is immense live (and sounds better than on the album!)...

Helloween - Giants The best song from their 1993 album. The vocal ideas/chorus are a gem, while the heavy riff and solos are cool too. :rocker:

Anguish Project - What's Believing I'm not that big fan of it, my expectations were a bit higher. It's cool, but the material blends together - which is not that cool. With all that being said, actually the album is very good and solid with only a couple of songs that don't work like the...

One of Maiden's best epics/songs, especially in terms of the feel. Love all the Egyptian melodies, vibe and storytelling of it. Epic intro, epic main melody! Really heavy riff. Great verses with the guitar following the vocals. The long instrumental section is so captivating with the melodies...

Everything about it sounds epic! Steve's bass playing is not that wild (like on the previous album's title track), but it has some great parts, like in ''Stratego''. The drumming is one of the highlights. Great intro (which I would have also loved if it was longer), heavy riff, epic verses and...

The 3rd single, '' The Ocean Of Strange Islands'' is the longest song on the album (with the title track being a 2-minutes intro to it?) and that's a cool title. I think this is probably the best of the songs so far, and the one that excites me the most. I mean, right from the opening symphonic...

Firewind - The Fire And The Fury Such a great instrumental. I love the guitar playing/melodies and the heavy riff. Btw, the first part of the song (ofc shorter) with the main melody and the solos could have been very fitting as an instrumental section for ''Afterglow Of Ragnarok''. Roy's...

The Top 2 albums are Priest's best classics, so whoever wins will be great. I ranked Painkiller #1 - and because of DOFT's last 2 songs. Defenders Of The Faith! Eternal classic and an album for the ages. An example of classic heavy metal. Emblem. I could have ranked it 1st if it wasn't for the...

Firepower - a modern classic for the band. One of my favorite albums as a whole piece I'm glad it's so high in the ranking. I think its biggest strength is the consistency, the strong and interesting songwriting and even the variety. With this album the band returned to their classic albums from...

Stained Class, I only really like a few songs from it. The ranking is not surprising, a classic for the band. This is the first Priest album to completely move away from their early 70's style, and there are hints of their future style in some songs. They will continue to develop it with the...

This Armored Saint song has a great heavy riff! TCW vibe to it, methinks. I prefer Perfect Strangers to Child In Time. Both are iconic, but that keyboard riff in the middle (and the vocals) is too good for me. Sonata Arctica's White Pearl, Black Oceans is definitely better in terms of ideas...

Sin After Sin, the only Priest album with 8 songs. It's probably my favorite one of their 70's output. Although it does contain 2 of my least favorite songs of theirs - Raw Deal and Here Come The Tears. The former is too ''early Priest style'' for me and I'm not a fan of their early ballads...

Point Of Entry is not a bad album, but it's not a memorable one either. It's an enjoyable listen for sure and I didn't ranked it that low. An album with an overall mid-tempo approach that just exists in the band's discography. They tried to write the previous album again, playing it safe, but...

I agree. It works as a closer, especially with the scream at the end. A nod to their early years. I wouldn't say so. Agreed on ''Fight Of Your Life'', that chorus is pure gold. I would have added ''Vicious Circle'' to the album too. It's a classic heavy Priest with a unique chorus. I would...
