This is the song I show people when I explain that music can be beautiful or disgusting depending on who is listening. The Faceless are seriously a band that deserves more recognition. Listen to Planetary Duality. It is probably one of the best tech-death albums ever recorded.
Judas Priest is a band of so many levels of rock music with 50 years of albums to choose from. You just can't go wrong with these guys. First metal band to hit the scene in my book
Such a good album. I'll be relistening to Redeemer Of Souls along with you as well, because I only did a full listen once and I found it to be the most boring Halford album in the catalogue. Maybe listening to it again after awhile will change things.
Go back and look at the albums of his freestyles and demos back in the 90s. A lot were done on the stretch and bobito show on the radio. This is before he made the label and all. Old school had a bit of a different feel.
The Calm Before the Storm is right! That title track hits HARD! By far my favorite track on the album. When Rob was a young pup, he trained for opera, so that is straight up legit metal opera. (I wondered if you would remember the "Wait for Nostradamus" comment - LOL)
This album have everything: epic guitars, epic vocals, good drums, song writing, and you can actually hear Ian's bass. The last KK album! Redeemer of souls is a good album but the production ruins it.
Epic reaction man! IMHO this album gains like 3000 points just by listening the songs seamlessly with full intro. The vast majority of them gain their power for complementing with the intro and in a reactiontrack by track that can be lost quite easily. Sands of Time/Pestilence and Plague blew me away from the chair the first time I listened to it. Future of mankind to me is like top 10 Priest tracks.
Man, undoubtedly the largest metal band of all time. When you listen to all their albums, you easily realize it. All the members they have had have given their thing. And you're still missing 2 albums lol
It's nice ending to the story and good album. On to Redeemers of Souls. Battle Cry is my favorite there are other banger but again it's another good album. PRIEST!!!
Firths are the names of rivers in Scotland and they are numbered, so Firth of Fifth is a river and the song is a metaphor for the journey of the river from it's beginning to it's end where it reaches the sea.
If you want to have the total experience including video you need to check out the version from 2009 " There's know place like home" there is an accompanying video which starts with Industrial Revolution. ALSO you need to listen to :Miracles out of Nowhere!
I am glad it was only a power outage and not some plague, pestilence, the beast rising from the eastern sands, and the end of the world! I remember hearing the band talk about this when they first recorded it and they spent a ton of time researching his life so they could really tell his story and not just talk about the crazier predictions (like most folks).
Need to listen to it with the lyrics to get the story which helps the music choices make more sense. The thing with Priest they have so many different sounding albums but they are all still Priest!!!
Now that we're deep into this album, I kinda forgot how much of a vibe it is. Not the most energetic Judas Priest (which I do prefer), but I do enjoy it thoroughly. An album I can put on and not think too hard about.
This album shows their versatility,talent and appreciation for all types of music. I believe Tipton's mom was a concert pianist of some sort who also taught piano.
Yep, Nostradamus was exiled by the inquisition for heresy. It was a very hard time for him, he went in the mountains and became kind of paranoid, he was certain that the inquisition was going to send people to assassinate him, so he forced himself to move very often. Alone is a great, more rocking track, but I just wanted to say something about it : I'm 100% sure that Halford saw a lot of himself in what Nostradamus went through at that moment. One was supposed to be a prophet, yet exiled by the very institutions that should listen to him ; and Halford was always a very faithful man, casted aside by the religious institutions because of his sexual orientation. If you think the song Alone like it's from the perspective of a gay person talking to the religious institutions, the lyrics work just all the same. I'm 100% sure that's what they had in mind.
Yes - he was exiled in real life (by the church for practicing heresy). These songs are powerful, and tell the story well, but some are just in a style that doesn't appeal to me. Of these 3, Alone is my pick. Love those guitars and screams
This is the album that made them when tony stratten smith herd this he cried foxtrot along with selling england by the pound are my 2 favorite albums but everything Genesis did was just sheer genius
I really appreciate that you bring metal music to people who miss out when it actually came out. Keep up the good work. Metal Mike bought his first Judas Priest album 1978 hell bent for. Been a fan since
oh man right on! this is one I heard live and it blew my mind, I love PT! the name of the drummer is Gavin Harrison and he is a bad ass drummer! you should see his side band Pineapple Thief, theres videos of him just durmming and they are fantastic to react to! youll love them see "White mist gavin harrison" please! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n7scYYsLdcM.html also subbed! great reaction!
I love Amorphis, the best band ever with the best musicians and the greatest singer!!! The Tree of ages is a wonderful song,i wish to play this in live!!!! I loved your reaction!!!
DUDE... the REAL opera vocals are yet to come! Lost Love doesn't do anything for me, but the others are enjoyable listens. Persecution is my fav from this set. This album definitely takes you through a ride
@@TheMetalJunkiego to 5 mins in of this video ..wakeman explains the start of this track you just listened to...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xszSkVxYQ70.htmlsi=tisYrpVYG03b7hci
Many people found lost love was corny, and I can understand why, but when you think that the dude lost his wife and two children to the plague, it hits hard. It's not like a random breakup song or whatever. What people called "corny", I call it "drama", and I love it
I spent many hours as my 14 yr old self listening to this album on my record player back in '81. Heaven and Hell and this album, especially with Vinny on drums, inspired me to play drums, along with Neil Peart. The Appice brothers were my drum instructors and my biggest influences. I learned how to play drums and how to read drum tablature from Realistic Rock.
