treeduck Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Don't get me wrong I enjoy Painkiller but I think a lot of people who got into the band after 1990 rate it a little too high. And most of the big Painkiller fanatics weren't into Priest in the 70's or the 80's, or they weren't around then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 If a non metal fan asks me "what should a metal album sound like?" My answer would be Painkiller. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Sad Wings of DestinyPainkillerStained ClassSin After SinKilling Machine (Hell Bent for Leather)I've never had Painkiller in my top 5 and it's not even in my top 10 these days. I do really like the album though, there's just so many better ones in the Priest canon. Like Firepower!Aye! Good album, but not even in the same league with Painkiller.To me Painkiller seems a bit too much of a reaction to criticism of Turbo and Ram it Down and other stuff (let's show those thrash metal bands), a try-hard album, a little bit forced and by numbers. I still like it though. I think it hangs with most of the big thrash records. Maybe not Rust In Peace, but it holds its own against Persistence Of Time, Seasons In The Abyss, and ...And Justice For All. I never really thought to compare Painkiller to those albums in terms of thrashiness. Painkiller does have thrash in it but not in the way those other albums do.

Ensnaring the services of Scott Travis really put the balls back in the band. Edited April 13, 2020 by RUSHHEAD666 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek19 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) For picking, and choosing to name my top five Judas Priest c.ds, and albums, I'm not, and haven't been able to do, but when Tim "Ripper" Owens, was the lead singer on "Jugulator", and "Demolition", it wouldn't, and not include either, and both of those on it, though.
