#2200 Judas Priest - British Steel

Plodding NWOBHM stalwart, packed with perfectly fine guitar hooks played at stompalong tempos, backing shoutalong choruses. Maybe Breaking the Law, having The Rage, or just being United was real fist-pumping fuck-yeah stuff in 1980, and it might have been a kick to jam to alongside a ten-thousand likeminded folks, but it's pretty thin soup in 2016.

Can't deny Living After Midnight and Metal Gods though. Grudgingly there's enough highlights for at least 3/5
