Well, it seems that majority of Judas Priest fans like either British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith (Tipton's favorite, I gather) or Painkiller the best. If you are a fan of Turbo, leave this blog... NOW! Go back to your Frankie goes to Hollywood and/or Wham albums and leave me in peace. If Point of Entry means perfection to you, then I say... well, actually write... ummm... well, you are rather weird. In that case you may stay as long as you do not drink the colors of the blog ears painted with noisy hollow.
Here we are, grinding our teeth, dwelling and picking into the shi... erm, nit 'n' grit again! |
Convict ACD 1157 aka Attic. Notable: Yellow like snow near the brewery for incontinents. |
Convict SMMCD 562 aka SnapperTurd. Notable: Unreliable, will kick you in the ass for 97% of the length, then suddenly will kick you in the teeth instead. |
Finally, Priest decided it was time to officially release these two classic albums the way the band intended them to be released. So, naturally, as a Priest fanboy I snapped the Complete Albums box set, which included both of these. No bonus tracks, just the albums like they were meant to be heard. I must admit that the tracks sound good, but again, I have a problem... They changed the goddamn TRACKLIST! You see, when the album was released Gull records made a booboo. They swapped sides (on purpose or accident?? who knows...). So, as far as I have known this album, Victim of changes has been the opener, followed by the Ripper and the magnificient Dreamer Deceiver/Deceiver-twosome. But no more, now it is the b-side like the band always wanted it to be. But for me, it ruins the flow of the album!!! I love Tyrant, it's my fave on the album, so it works well as an opener, but Gevocide, for me, is a long, a bit plodding slowburner that doesn't really work as an second track... It sounds better near the end of the setlist... or tracklist. And Island of Domination is an easy-going, relaxed, humorous s&m-track with a nice echo effect closing the album, not a middleway flow-breaker!!! For me, this tracklist just doesn't work. Priest almost always had a darkly humorous track near the end (Heavy Duty&Defenders, Love You to Death, Evil Fantasies, Devil's Child...) not in the middle! The album was better the "wrong way". And, I must admit, I don't really like the miniature-lp-replica-whatever-cardboard -pieces-of-scheisse that much. MY FAVOURITE ALBUM OF MY FAVOURITE BAND IS RUINED AGAIN!!! Once again so close, and ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT! Is it so hard to release my favourite album with the old tracklist and a decent coverart in a regular jewel case with no special extras?? Are You Serial????
Yep, yep... Nice work Columbia. How about saving the money you make selling this albums FOR AN EAR AND BRAIN OPERATION?? |
This remaster is perfect. Except for the fact that NEITHER OF THE BONUS TRACKS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS ALBUM, YOU CRETINS! |
