So I finally got my laptop fix after the monitor went out about 5 months ago. In that span, I haven't listened to much music and what I did usually wasn't metal - a punishable crime in and of itself. Last night I put on Painkiller and listened to it for hours on end. Such a phenominal album, I love everything about it. Anywho, that is all. |

Painkiller is amazing. Best Priest album and best album cover imo. |

Totally, definitely my favorite Priest album. Leather Rebel has gotta be one of the best metal songs ever written. |

Amazing that the band could produce something so fresh and beloved after already being a well known band. Hell Patrol, nuff said. |

It is a great record, but I've gotta say, the album art is cheesy as hell. Still, I guess it's not QUITE as bad as the art on some of Halford's solo albums.

It is cheesy, but I still love it. Plus Priest has always had that element of cheese to them. |

it is remarkable how dark an album Painkiller is especially after Priest kinda moved toward the mainstream in the 80's (This post was last edited on October 12, 2010 at 9:20 AM ET.) |

Priest have definitely been cheesier in their day. I think the Ram It Down cover out-cheeses the Painkiller one, same with Turbo. |

Watched two programs on Judas Priest today. Behind The Music and Classic Albums: British Steel. Good stuff. Forgot how much I really love Priest. |
