"A Heavy Metal staple"
5 stars"

The Essential JUDAS PRIEST is a hard-hitting and fantastic catalouge of one of Heavy Metal's finest groups. Older and newer songs are perfectly integrated, and not one of their classics are missed. Long-time fans may be surprised as they find themselves unable to distinguish the newer songs from the old. Judas Priest certainly is on of the most uncompromising and powerful bands of the genre.

The Essential Judas Priest caters for all the needs of any fan of Priest, and will be extremely attractive to listeners of other Hard Rock and Heavy Metal groups. The quality of the songs in their remastered form is flawless, so theres nothing to hinder the listeners enjoyment of Priest's duel-lead guitar attack, Halford's endless voice, and the classic hard rock bass and drums section.

I enjoyed the album tremendously, delivering every song I could have asked for and more. Certainly it has become a constant in my stereo and computer.

Description

Judas Priest: Rob Halford (vocals); Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing (guitar); Ian Hill (bass guitar); Scott Travis (drums).

Recording information: 1976 - 2005.

Presenting 34 tracks on two discs, THE ESSENTIAL JUDAS PRIEST does an excellent job of living up to its title by featuring many of the revered British heavy-metal band's finest moments. Wisely bypassing the group's years with Tim "Ripper" Owens, the collection features only Priest's beloved Rob Halford-fronted incarnation, with songs ranging from the ensemble's late-1970s beginnings to its 2005 reunion.

Although the non-chronological order may put off some purists, the sequencing does highlight the group's consistency of vision, with tracks ranging from the ferocious "Judas Rising" to the fist-pumping "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" to the blistering "Painkiller," all the while showcasing Halford's banshee shriek and K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton's dual-guitar attack. As an overview of Halford-era Priest, this excellent compilation can't be beat.

What the critics say...
