A monumental work by Judas Priest, imbued with a steely will.
The songs, composed of sharp guitar riffs and clear rhythms, clearly show the band's metal nature. The album succinctly presents violent emotions with powerful performances that are subdued in flashiness.
The album presents a sound image that aims to achieve both ease of listening and intensity, with powerful riffs, catchy choruses, and the band's overall performance resonating in a balanced way. Armed with a simple structure, each song has its own independent power. The introduction of Dave Holland's drums adds a new dynamic to the rhythm, tightening the album as a whole through the singles. While retaining their original heavy elements, this album has the strength to reach the listener.
