Album of the weekend

Judas Priest-Screaming for Vengeance

When a band has several albums that are considered to be their "masterpiece" and they are all good, that's the sign of a great band. One of the signs, anyway.

"Screaming for Vengeance" is considered their "breakthrough" album, just like "British Steel" was. I'm not sure you can have two "breakthrough" albums, except in rare cases. This isn't their breakthrough album-in fact, it's more of a return to classic form album. "British Steel" established them as one the best metal band of all time (yes, you read that right. Judas Priest is one of the best metal bands ever) and "Screaming for Vengeance" solidified their legendary status.

This album is just as hard, just as fast, just as primal as their other great albums. Judas Priest is sometimes forgotten about when talking about classic metal bands. If you think they don't belong, try this album.
