Not only is Judas Priest's 1980 release BRITISH STEEL one of its very best albums, it also proved to be one of heavy metal's all-time classics. After Priest spent the '70s honing its dark, heavy-duty metal to perfection, the band decided to inject more melody and universal themes into the mix for BRITISH STEEL.

It was rewarded with two of its best known anthems--"Breaking the Law," and "Living After Midnight." Also included here are such metallic gems as "Rapid Fire," "Metal Gods," and "Grinder," establishing Judas Priest as one of the leaders of the early-'80s new wave of British heavy metal.

Digitally remastered by Jon Astley.

Judas Priest: Rob Halford (vocals); Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing (guitar); Ian Hill (bass); Dave Holland (drums).

Judas Priest: Rob Halford (vocals); Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing (guitar); Ian Hill (bass guitar); Dave Holland (drums).Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.113) - Ranked #68 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...The heartbreaker here is 'She's Out of My Life'....The record also features undeniable up-tempo tracks..."
Q (8/00, p.127) - Included in Q's "Best Metal Albums Of All Time" - "...3 of the 9 tracks became Top 30 hits, but it was the raw riffage and unashamed heavy metalness of 'Rapid Fire', 'Steeler' and 'Grinder' which made BRITISH STEEL so influential..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.52) - "To define heavy metal to someone who has never heard it, simply furnish them with a copy of BRITISH STEEL."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.51) - "It's an album that played a huge part in defining the geography of the metal landscape..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.113) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Pivotal to its success were two Top 20 singles: deathless headbangers 'Breaking The Law' and 'Living After Midnight'....BRITISH STEEL is Priest's career-defining masterpiece."

4 stars Excellent foundation
British Steel is a must-have for anyone who is not only a serious metal fan, but also a Judas Priest fan. The music is hard-driving, basic, and not over-produced. The music and lyrics are kept simple and lay a great foundation for all Judas Priest music that would follow. It's a definite winner!

5 stars Brings Back Fond Memories
This is the first thing I ever heard by JP when I was just a little kid. I recall first hearing it on vinyl. Alas! Those were the days. But nevertheless, it translates excellent onto CD, what with the digital remastering and all. This is an outstanding Priest album with several wonderfully crafted metal tracks. Among them are Breaking the Law, United, Grinder, Living After Midnight, and, who can forget, Rapid Fire. If you only buy one JP release in your entire life, make it this one.
