Union 5-3992 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 If it had more prog elements, we could get a grim review from Darren Lock as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Anyway, onto Invincible Shield. Magnificent album, it's not my favourite, it's on par with Firepower. My opinion is that both albums offer a little something the other doesn't, and both do what they do extremely well. And erm...I think they are the bands best albums since before Turbo. I include Painkiller in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find his opinions mostly annoying, and he speaks the most basic facts like it's the cleverest thing ever spoken aloud. I might play this, just to cringe.

Do you not even like Dragonaut? What about Cold Blooded? The Sword of Damocles? Or Halls of Valhalla and March of the Damned? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should try it again, its actually not "awful", I will wash my mouth out for saying that, but after Angel and Nostradamus (oof...I like that a lot), it comes off a little closer to mid-tier Saxon to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not like Angel and Nostradamus? You should try them again too. I like both of those, I even have the book edition of Nostradamus, which is like a full-size book version.

Saying that, it's by far my least played Halford effort. Worth a proper chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 13 hours ago, treeduck said: It's Saxon and Uriah Heep in the UK. That would be amazing if that held to form in the US!!!! I recall Uriah Heep did open for them over here a few years ago (pre-pandemic) but due to a conflict I could not go to the show. I have a lot of Uriah Helps albums and would like to see them. Saxon is a band that, I am ashamed to say, somehow fell through the cracks with me. Never got into them but recently I had listened to a few of their songs on youtube and was like "These guys are another legendary band I missed out on - now I see what they were a big part of the MWOBHM. Got to explore them some more." Given their history, style of music and that they just released a new album I thought they would be a perfect match to tour with Priest - it was the combo I had in mind to tell the truth. Thanks - now I just have to get tickets and keep my fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally like his reviews (guess I must be in the minority here) and this was no exception - plus I thought he really liked the album. He seemed to like all the songs with 2 exceptions and even those he thought were ok. Of course they are 2 songs I really like. O well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I've seen him absolutely raving about some absolutely mediocre albums but here he just seems very meh yeah whatever, despite saying he liked it.

I include Painkiller in that. I have long said I thought Firepower was their best album since Screaming For Vengeance and I would rank this on par with Firepower - that high praise in my book. Both are light years better than Painkiller which I rank as perhaps their worst Halford era work. I really don't care for it. So no disagreement here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
