Jugulator by Judas Priest

Pros: One riff in the song Burn In Hell. Impressive drumming.
Cons: Everything else...

 When this album first came out in 1997, I immediately knew I was not going to like it just by glancing at the song titles....Jugulator, Blood Stained, Dead Meat, Death Row, Decapitate, Burn In Hell, Brain Dead, Abductors, Bullet Train, ...

Pros: Hard, Fast, No gay love lyrics
Cons: The lyrics are a little lacking in creativity.

While many people bag on Ripper Owens for not being Rob Halford, I actually think that in terms of vocal range, Ripper Owens is the superior vocalist. He can scream and wail just like Halford but he can also do low range growling vocals so it provides a ...

Pros: Heavy, and it has a few good songs
Cons: Pathetic lyrics, overly generic and in many cases vomit-inducting solos, too much screaming

This was the first Judas Priest album I ever owned. I enjoyed the crap out of it for the first year and a half that I listened to it. Now I'm 17, and this album is one of the biggest piles of crap in my collection.

As you all know, Rob...

Pros: Even heavier than the fantastic "Painkiller"
Cons: Not a very long album

Okay. You know the story. Fabulously popular band loses integral founding member. Fans light up the message boards and radio call-in shows with predictions of impending doom for said band. Then, instead of retreating in defeat due to the loss of said...

Pros: Heavy!
Cons: Better like it heavy!

If your ears can't handle loud thunderous music then I suggest you skip this CD. But you're a fanatic for "heavy" heavy metal then stop reading this right now and go BUY IT!

It's an old story: Judas Priest's front man left the band...

Pros: Great SOLOS,Perfect Double-bass drums,pounding bass,Screeching Vocals.
Cons: None,the album is excellent and there is nothing wrong.

Judas Priest return with their Darkest,heaviest and angrier album to date.This album finds New Metal God,Ripper Owens
screeching and screaming high notes that are simply amazing.
Ripper Owens is a talented,incredibly amazing vocalist,his
...

Pros: Great new metal songs, loud screaming vocals and guitar solo's are fantastic!
Cons: Original lead singer replaced by 'Ripper Owens', some songs are a little repetitious.

Pros: "Bullet Train", Ripper can do a good Halford impersonation
Cons: Lame lyrics and the title track does nothing for me

Well, it took seven years for Judas Priest to make a single peep after releasing "Painkiller" in 1990. During that time, Rob Halford left the band and formed Fight. Halford's new band had already released three albums and broken up by the time...

Pros: 'Ripper' Owens tries his best; playing is decent
Cons: Rob Halford is not on this album; songs too long; intros go on forever; lame lyrics

Maybe I'm just a little narrow minded, but I think Rob Halford is what made Judas Priest good, and without him, it's just not the same. Don't get me wrong, 'Ripper' Owens tries really hard as the band's new lead singer, but something is missing. The...

Pros: There is life after Halford
Cons: It could be better

Well, If anything, Priests' first effort in 7 years definitely tries to reach the young-pubescent-teen male audience, with a mere nod towards the old timers who made them what they are today. The tracks are generally herky-jerky multi-tempo excursions...

Pros: Tim Owens is Amazing!!!!
Cons: Stupid Lyrics!

Tim Owens is the best part of this album he is a far more talented vocalist than Rob Halford (Don't get me wrong Halford is amazing!).....This is by far the heaviest Judas Priest album but "Painkiller" is still better!.....The only really great thing...
