CD ReviewsA Heaping Helping of Heavy Metal! Rock N Rolla | Detroit Rock City, Michigan | 03/04/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Judas Priest's 4th album, Stained Class, is another incredible release by one of my most favorite bands ever. This album was voted the Heaviest Metal Album of All Time in 2004 by Metal Hammer, a music magazine in the UK. Stained Class is also considered by many to be the first real Heavy Metal album ever made. Is it? Who knows and who cares?! I'm no Metal Music expert by any means, and I personally have to give the nod to Black Sabbath because in my opinion they beat Judas Priest to the punch, but regardless, I do know this much, this album flat out rocks, and rocks heavy, and that is all that really matters when you get right down to it.
Stained Class is track after track of awesome sounds that right from the very beginning grabs you by the ears and doesn't let go until the very end. If the amazing guitar work and drums don't hold your interest, surely Rob Halford's incredible vocals will. And if not, you might just want to check your pulse. A notable fact concerning this album is that it features a song that caused quite a bit of trouble for Judas Priest who were brought into court over it. The song was claimed to contain subliminal messages that caused two youths to go into a suicide pact. One died, the other lived but was horribly disfigured, and eventually died a couple of years later due to complications. The songs title is Better By You, Better Than Me, and was originally written by Gary Wright of Dream Weaver fame. A lot of fans agree that Beyond The Realms of Death is the best song on the album, and it's definitely a masterpiece song for sure. All the songs on here are excellent really, but, if I had to pick my most favorite one out of them all, I'd have to go with Saints in Hell. The song is truly epic in every sense of the word. Halford's haunting vocals and wailing screeches match perfectly the eerie and heavy guitar riffs that transport you to the depths of Hell itself on a Holy mission with the Saints to recover a sacred relic. It's truly one of Judas Priest's best songs ever, and Stained Class is definitely one of Judas Priest's all-time best albums. Standout Tracks are: Exciter, White Heat Red Hot, Stained Class, Invader, Saints in Hell, and Beyond The Realms of Death." |
