Music reviews of Hell Bent for Leather
Music Review: You won't forget your first time.
Rating: 5 Stars
This is undoubtedly my favorite Priest album. I know there's a place inside of me saying that Screaming for Vengeance is a better album but no, this wins my pick for the best Priest album.
This was actually the first Priest album I bought (well The Essential Judas Priest was, but I don't count compilations as albums), so it holds a special place in my heart too. This is really what got me into Priest. It's one of my all time favorite albums too.
This is the album that really marked a turning point in Priest's career. It also marked a new era, which I call Priest's "Golden Years".
The album begins with Delivering the Goods, and the song does just that. It has a driving opening guitar riff and gets into an excellent track that is some great rockin'. Halford uses his trademark rough voice, and it's done extremely well. Rock Forever is really just an anthemic song for them and is one of their most underrated songs ever. The title track, Hell Bent For Leather is an incredibly fun and catchy song- it begins heavy and in-your face for like 10 seconds, then gets into a chaotic and catchy heavy metal track. The chorus is singalong worthy too- you'll find yourself singing "Hell bent, hell bent for leatha!!!" with the chorus. If this song doesn't stick out to you as one of the best Priest songs, nothing will.
Another great track is The Green Manalishi, which is another fun and catchy track that showcases Halford's talent. Killing Machine is another great song that I would LOVE to hear live. But the best track is Before The Dawn, a slow and beautiful ballad.
The only downside to this release is the two bonus tracks. Fight For Your Life is really just a filler track, and Riding the Wind is a good live song but pretty unnecessary if you ask me.
So overall, this is my favorite Priest album. I know people are gonna say "Vengeance is better!!!". It might be, but I can't help it, I consider this my most favorite Priest album of all time!
