Stryper-No More Hell to Pay
Stryper, and more particularly their lead singer Michael Sweet, has always reminded me of Judas Priest with the melodic yelling and how he sings. Believe me, that's a huge compliment. Stryper is the granddaddy of Christian metal and without them, the genre wouldn't exist. They took a long hiatus and I never thought they'd be back, but they've been back with some of their strongest work lately. No More Hell to Pay is among their better albums, and they've had several good ones.
"Saved by Love" is one of the best metal songs of the last ten years, by anyone, not just Stryper. It's energy and intensity has a very fresh feeling-you'd think that it was their first song off their first album instead of their 10th studio album. There are some songs on the album that don't seem to fit-Jesus is Just Alright sounds country-ish. It doesn't fit on the album. Neither does "The One" which sounds like a 90's ballad.
I'm nit picking though. This is a great album and one that you should seriously consider downloading.
