The first time I heard PRIEST was this album & HELL BENT (killing machine) back to back and I fell madly in love with the whole PRIEST sound.....back then Mr. TIPTON wrote the lion's share of the songs & I suspect always did.....fellow players :.....dare you to attempt his explosive solo......magic friggin' fingers.....1976.........still magic at the tender age of 64.......TIPTON RULES.....
All priest albums rule, but their earlier ones were so much ahead of their time, especially Stained Class, so you gotta give those albums their rightful place in the history of metal.
One of the best priest records ever. Pure 70s traditional metal!!!! I can't believe how impressed I am about this record. I love heavy metal especially 70s metal.
@NinjaJedi11 Yeah but sin after sin ain't nothin to sneeze at either . Both were definitive high energy precise metal. Stained Class was a ferrari and sin after sin was dodge charger. Both smokin both powerful and both Priest. Yeah!
Don't get me wrong because I'm a big Priest fan and like most of their albums but one thing confused me for a long time - it's always mentioned how Priest got heavier with British Steel and became a part of the British metal movement...I mean as far as I'm concerned Stained Class sits on top of their catalog along with the rest of their 70's gems! I even prefer the dry guitar sound on this albums and the drumming of Les and Simon...
@RonBeast87 I'm with you. Les Binks was Priest's drummer and they never should have let him go. Sad Wings of Destiny and Sin after Sin made Priest and defined Heavy Metal....Stained Class cemented them as Gods. While they still kicked ass and made legendary songs (such as Blood Red Skies) their early stuff can NOT be beat.
@RonBeast87 after listening to all Priest's stuff, its hard to say which era was the hardest. I would say the 70's had the heaviest lyrics in my opinion, but 80's had some heavy fuckin riffs....
como me encanta ese riff con el que empieza esa rola, apuesto a que ese bato agarro su guitarra y de la nada salio ese riff, me imagino que fue espontáneo, por eso está chido,
y el sonido chingón de ese overdrive,
es la respuesta de unas buenas pastillas Humbucker (como las di marzio) ante la sobrecarga del ampli, sin necesidad de un Metal Zone, me imagino...

In my opinion: Stained Class, Hell Bent for Leather, British Steel are the best Judas Priest album of all time.
