Kind of like Turbo, this album is not up to the standards of the best of Priest, but this was released in my senior year in high school and the memories of head banging to this while hanging out with my high school buddies bring a smile to my face. Highlights are Ram It Down, Heavy Metal, Blood Red Skies, and Monsters of Rock. They also do a good cover of Johnny B. Goode which got plenty of MTV air play back in the day. Although I've never seen Judas Priest live, the first concert that I did see live was the Monsters Of Rock festival with Van Halen, Metallica, the Scorpions, Dokken, and Kingdom Come and the songs Monsters of Rock always brings a smile to my face for that reason alone. An album that I enjoy more than the average Judas Priest or metal fan would, this albums came and got a 3 star rating from me for being good, but not essential.
