Music reviews of Defenders of the Faith
Music Review: Some eyes are gonna roll
Rating: 1 Stars
This may be the second worst Priest album after Ram it Down. Rocka Rolla can be excused because the band hadn't found its sound yet, Turbo and Point of Entry are excuseable because the band (and the fans) looked at both albums as experients. There's no such redemption here, this album is every bit as bad as Ram it Down. Granted, then first two tracks (Freewheel Burning and Jawbreaker) are awesome songs, the rest are all completely forgettable. Even look at the stupid song titles (Love Bites, Heavy Duty, Turn On Your Light). Love Bites is a mind-numbingly awful track with stupid lyrics about Vampires (Vampires are awesome but not here). Heavy Duty and the title track both stink, in fact both are the two worst priest songs ever. Some Heads are Gonna Roll has a good solo but that's it. Eat Me Alive has a good intro, and then goes downhill from there.
And another thing, the lyrics are TERRIBLE. Yeah Painkiller had stupid lyrics too but it could get away with it because the music was so damned awesome. There's no such redemption for that too, the lyrucs are stupid. With dumb lyrics like "We're gonna rock you till your metal hunger's fed", "Let's all join forces- rule with an iron hand- and prove to all the world- Metal rules the land" as well as "With animal lust they'll devour your life- and slice your word to bits like a knife". This is especially shocking since Halford wrote the lyrics. Wasn't Halford supposed to be the "Metal God" or something? As for the production is terrible too- the guitars sound like keyboards, the drums sound like Holland is banging on a plastic cup, and the bass is too loud. THere are noticeable volume drops on the album too.
How this trash got the reputation of "Best Priest Album" is beyond me. Cut your teeth on "Killing Machine" or "Sad Wings of Destiny" or even "Painkiller" instead, if you must.
