Judas Priest Hell Bent For Metal

"This CD isn't great. There's too much death metal, where the singing is just brutal. There are a few good songs: Sentinel, Beyond the Realms of Death, Seeler, and Desert Plains. Some other songs, were simply an embarrassment. The vocalist's attempt to hit the high note in "The Ripper," is nothing more than ridiculous. The guitar solo in the beginning of "Metal Meltdown" was omitted. The worst song, is probably "Electric Eye," performed by "Scary German Guy." Not only was the "Hellion" left out, but the singing sucked, and the guitar solo was HORRIBLY butchered. I would only recommend this CD if you're a die hard priest fan who doesn't mind bad vocals."

Not as good as the Legends of Metal CD's, but pretty cool...

"Like most tribute albums, a mix of decent, great, and lousy. Low points...Sanctorum, Scary German Guy, and Aurora Borealis. High points...Angel Corpse's great death metal version of "Eat Me Alive," Winter's Bane's version of "Steeler," Steel Prophet's take on "Dreamer Deceiver," and especially Vital Remains' tuned down but otherwise just about note-perfect version of "You've Got Another Thing Comin'"Recommended if you're a Priest fan and also happen to like death metal."
