Cool track listing, albeit a short one. Seems like it could've been longer. Would have been cool if they covered a Ripper-era tune or 2 with Halford, just to make it interesting. Meh, beggars can't be choosers. I'll probably pick this up at some point.

Pardon my ignorance, but where is track #5 'Death' from? I don't recognize that title.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see it's from Nostradamus, which would explain why I didn't know it.

For the life of me I can not understand why "Demonizer" was nver included on the last few tours, such a smokin' jam! :metal:

If anyone owns their newest live album could someone please review it? I would do it myself but I have not bought it yet.

This new live album is terrible! They completely ruined one of my favorite Priest songs "Beyond the Realms of Death" and half of te other songs don't stand up to their past glory. I am a huge Judas Priest fan and to me this was a big let down!

i disagree. sure Rob's voice has gone downhill... but that's expected with age. the songs sound very alive for a band that's been around this long. i think they did a decent job with this.

Playing catch up in this forum. I'll just comment on what I own...

Sin After Sin - I really like this one. One of my earlier Priest purchase. I think their cover of "Diamonds & Rust" is great.

Stained Class - I haven't listened to this album in a long time, but I remember being somewhat bored by it.

Hell Bent for Leather - Awesome album. "Delivering the Gods", "Hell Bent for Leather", "Burnin' Up", "The Green Manalishi", "Before the Dawn", "Evil Fantasies"... Man, what a line-up of songs!

British Steel - Another Priest album that I think is overrated but there are a handful of undisputed classics.

Point of Entry - I like "Hot Rockin'", I like "Headin' Out to the Highway", I don't remember the rest. But I do remember not being impressed.

Screaming for Vengeance - Now we're getting into the era I like best! My first Priest album. How awesome is the combo of "The Hellion" and "Electric Eye"? I'm a huge fan of "Bloodstone" and "Take These Chains" as well.

Defenders of the Faith - I guess this is when some people started turning on the band, but they were still delivering the goods with songs like "Eat Me Alive", "Rock Hard Ride Free", "Love Bites" and "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll".

Turbo - I'm a fan of this one. "Turbo Lover" is excellent and "Locked In" is really good as are "Private Property" and "Parental Guidance". I remember "Wild Nights" being very cheesy though.

Ram It Down - One of my favorite Priest albums. "Ram It Down", "Blood Red Skies" and "I'm a Rocker" are worth the price of admission. Even their over the top cover of "Johnny B. Goode" has grown on me.

Painkiller - Easily my favorite Priest album and one of my favorite albums of all time. I think this was my third Priest CD, I think. There is no filler here. I still get shivers from "Painkiller", "Between the Hammer & the Anvil", "One Shot at Glory" and "A Touch of Evil".

Demolition - One of my earliest Priest purchases, I didn't care for it. Looking back now, it's okay, but I never listen to it.

Angel of Retribution - A welcomed comback, in my eyes. Not quite at the level of some of their earlier stuff, but I still like the album. First four tracks are the best.

Nostradamus - I didn't like this album at first. I still think there's way too much filler on this album and it would have been better off as a just one CD, but it's grown on me a lot, so I enjoy it now. A lot heavier at times than Angel of Retribution was, but we still haven't gotten a classic sounding Priest album since Halford has come back.

A Touch of Evil: Live - Surprisingly, I really like this album and played it a lot when I first got it. I usually don't care about live albums, but I'm such a big Priest fan I wanted it. Great track listing instead of the usual numbers.

So I've been having a Priest marathon, and I decided I'm gonna include the Ripper albums... wish me luck guys.

Having gone through the whole discography, I've made a little ranking of all the JP albums:

1. Stained Class
2. Painkiller
3. Sad Wings of Destiny
4. Unleashed in the East
5. Killing Machine
6. Defenders of the Faith
7. Sin After Sin
8. Turbo
9. Screaming For Vengeance
10. Ram It Down
11. Rocka Rolla
12. British Steel
13. Point of Entry
14. Angel of Retribution
15. Priest... Live!
16. A Touch of Evil: Live
17. '98 Live Meltdown
18. Live in London (yes, four live albums in a row)
19. Jugulator
20. Nostradamus
21. Demolition

Nice list. I suppose I should try and do something similar.

1. Unleashed In The East
2. Sin After Sin
3. Screaming For Vengeance
4. British Steel
5. Hell Bent For Leather
6. Stained Class
7. Point Of Entry
8. Rocka Rolla
9. Sad Wings Of Destiny
10. Defenders Of The Faith

Not really interested in any albums that came out after Defenders.

I effing love Turbo, what a great album. But to be completely honest, the albums from 4 til 11 are all ten out of tens for me, so they can easily be switched.

ROCKA ROLLA!!!!!!!!!
