| | Judas Priest Hero, Hero CD Judas Priest Discography of CDs
 (11 Customer Reviews)
This collection encapsulates Judas Priest's debut (ROCKA ROLLA) and a majority of its classic sophomore album (SAD WINGS OF DESTINY) for Gull Records, along with an early version of "Diamonds and Rust," and mixes them all up in the running order. Seeing as it's missing "Epitaph," "Island of Domination," and the immortal "Ripper" from SAD WINGS, this CD does not allow one to get the band's first two albums in one package. However the ROCKA ROLLA tracks have been remixed (some fans argue that they are better) and the title track re-edited, and those changes along with the track arrangement and fantasy-inspired cover art make this package worthwhile for obsessive collectors, even though the gatefold vinyl edition was actually more visually striking.

Rip off Shmip off
This album was meant to put some new life into Rocka Rolla with some new technology. The songs on this on this album have been remixed with better quality, different levels and EQ. I would have never been interested in old Priest if it wasn't for the flow of this album. The guy who did it had the balls and the integrity to leave off The Ripper because it didn't fit. If this had been a money grab, that song would be on here. Now saying that, I don't know for sure that on this label they actually use the original versions, or the Rodger Bain remixed versions. Does anybody know?

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No This epitomizes metal
I first heard these songs when i was sixteen. twenty years later, I can still get gooseflesh from Victim of Changes and Never Satified. Many of the songs here epitomize classic metal ambition with melodic shifts and stunning, stunning vocals that JP haven't been able to reproduce in their later albums after they got a touch formulaic. If you like anthems, don't buy this.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No rock'n'roll!!
a very nice cd. it really comes back to the roots of good old rock'n'roll. its got this nice led zeppeliny quality.the problem with this cd is that it aometimes sounds a little to rough and un proffesional, the singing can sometimes sound like a parody, and the guitar sound is to dirty. also the solos just dont seem to have a lot of flair in to them. but if youre in for some good, bull dropings free, pure rocking this is the cd for you.(i would like to get replys about my review to my e-mail please)

This is a stand-up Priest album, nvm that Koch are crooks. If it were just another re-issue it would be different; but with tracks being re-mixed and re-arranged it is, in fact, a different album. The work on the "Rocka Rolla" tracks was definitely worthy of Priest.

Despite being a reflection upon his mother's illness and passing, Someone Else's Party is far from being Vini Reilly's most sullen album, but it most certainly falls in line with the albums that preceded it. Save for two vocal turns -- one, rather jarringly, featuring Rebekah del Rio's Spanish-language ...

Hero, Hero CD music
$20.95
Having acquired a small cult following with its first album, Budgie offered a second dose of abrasive, forceful heavy metal that, like its predecessor, drew on influences ranging from Cream to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Budgie was a band that loved contrasts -- the folk-ish qualities of "Make Me Happy" and the Beatlesque "Rolling Home Again" make hard-driving classics like "Hot as a Docker's Armpit," "Drugstore ...
| | Arch Enemy Doomsday Machine CD (2005) Japan
Hero, Hero music CDs
$33.75
The Japanese edition features two additional live tracks and a set of postcards.
As the first band of its kind to feature a female vocalist, Arch Enemy is a bona fide pioneer. The German-born Angela Gossow replaced original bellower-from-hell Johan Liiva in 2001, and not only does Gossow deliver a brutal death-metal vocal sound that rivals Chuck Schuldiner (Death) and Dani Filth (Cradle Of Filth), but the once-unknown metal goddess has lunged Arch Enemy into metal's big leagues.
DOOMSDAY MACHINE carries the torch of memorable, riff-laden metal established on Arch Enemy's previous albums, a sound fueled by the guitar work of brothers Chris and Michael Amott (the latter formerly of Carcass). "Mechanic God Creation" beats with a classic metal heart, intensified by modern and extreme metal touches. "Slaves Of Yesterday" and "Machtkampf" brandish ripping solos and keen note choice, while "I Am Legend/Out For Blood" grooves with old-school thrash abandon. In the competitive realm of melodic death metal, Arch Enemy continues to evolve and remain vital.
One gets the feeling that Doomsday Machine is something of a make-or-break album for Sweden's Arch Enemy. Easily the most commercial effort of the band's career thus far, it signals that dangerous moment in any heavy metal band's existence when, in a bid for acceptance on a wider scale, the bandmembers must risk upsetting the loyal fan base that has carried them thus far. Then again, original diehards already accused Arch Enemy of selling out years before, when they replaced popular frontman Johan Liiva with newcomer Angela Grossow and inaugurated their experiments with more subtle metallic songwriting tricks. And when your man in charge is Michael Amott, survivor of countless heavy metal style battles and long-deceased former bands, guitar-driven overkill is really the only surefire guarantee -- with risk-taking simply a function of the game. Doomsday Machine's "game" begins with "Enter the Machine," a majestic, harmony-laden instrumental that some might find more adequate for a power metal album ...
