Hot Rockin’

British Steel gave Judas Priest a taste of commercial success and they even had a couple of ‘hits’ in Breaking The Law and Living After Midnight. This probably inspired them to make some similarly catchy songs for this album. The music videos for songs like Don’t Go and Hot Rockin’ are really hilarious. You can almost judge from the very song titles that these are not good songs. Unfortunately, that is true of most of this album’s songs with You Say Yes, All The Way, Troubleshooter and On The Run being similar Pop Metal tunes. Turning Circles stands out as being not Pop Metal but pure Pop Rock!

However, this uneven and inconsistent album also holds some good songs, most notably Desert Plains and Solar Angels. But we are still a very long way from past glories. Heading Out To The Highway is also a decent song, but again nothing to be too excited about.

I think it is fair to say that this is Judas Priest’s low point and coming from a band that had such fantastic albums as Sad Wings Of Destiny and Stained Class under their belts, this is nothing short of embarrassing. The signs were there already on Killing Machine, but how could they sink as low as this?

This one is best avoided!
