Product Description

Tracks: "Breakin the Law," "Rapid Fire," "Metal Gods," "Grinder," "United," "Living After Midnight," "Don't Have to Be Old to Be Wise," "The Rage" & "Steeler," plus the Bonus Tracks "Red, White & Blue" and "Grinder (Live).

Amazon.com

The guitar riff from "Breaking the Law" is one of the most recognizable from early 1980s heavy metal. Though British Steel sounds dated these days, it's also a classic slice of metal, one of the best from a band that defined the genre in the late '70s and early '80s. Everything that ultimately became characteristic of heavy metal is here, from the lightning-fast riffs on "Rapid Fire," the anthemic "Metal Gods," and "United" to the obligatory party song "Living After Midnight" to the equally obligatory youth-rebellion song, "You Don't Have to Be Old to Be Wise." British Steel is unquestionably Priest at their peak. The 2001 remastered reissue includes two bonus tracks--a previously unavailable studio selection called "Red, White & Blue" and a live take on "Grinder." --Genevieve Williams

Quite possibly the bands best effort of near perfection for 1980. It just is a natural concert hall/arena crowd pleaser for the time as well as today. Great pressing and sonic sound from top to bottom Robs voice says it all. True fans know, & others need an explanation. That year my favorite track is United that was our brotherly military/country statement as being enlisted at the time in the U.S. Army stateside.
Thanks for releasing this one for the collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Judas Priest..."British Steel"...1980 & 2001 Remastered CD
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2013

I had originally bought this album, on vinyl, back in July 1980. Earlier this month, I decided to buy the remastered CD version from Amazon. Just by listening to this album, it feels as though I am reliving the Summer of 1980, all over again. At least IN MEMORY, I'm living in 1980 & this album brings back tons of happy memories for me. I had really hit the jack pot w/ THIS album, just like I did w/ "Hell Bent For Leather". They are both PERFECT albums, in my honest opinion. I'd like to offer my review on "British Steel" now:

1. "Rapid Fire"...I was always surprised that this song wasn't titled as "Pounding The World Like A Battering Ram", instead of the title of "Rapid Fire", which is NEVER mentioned throughout the song @ all. Otherwise, this is one great song & I've always enjoyed this.

2. "Metal Gods"...I've always loved this song, too. The only complaint, that I have about this song, is the long instrumental ending. I wish that they could have sung, just the words, "Metal Gods" for about 3 or 4 more times, before the song ends.

3. "Breaking The Law"...I still wish that this was the OPENING cut on my CD, like it was on my record. This song rec'd some radio airplay in the Fall of 1980. I've always loved this song, very much.

4. "Grinder"...In 1980, I NEVER noticed how much this song reminds me of AC/DC's kind of song. Now in June of 2013, I really can spot the musical resemblance to AC/DC. I have always got a big kick out of this song...it's really good.

5. "United"...This song is just plain fantastic, in my opinion. I have always loved this song w/ such nice lyrics.

6. "You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise"...As I had just mentioned on "Grinder", THIS song ALSO bears a resemblance to AC/DC's music again. It really puts me in mind of "Shoot to Thrill", from AC/DC's "Back In Black" album, ALSO from 1980. This song is EXCELLENT in every way possible. It also has one hell of a rebellious attitude towards life. And I just love this song, very much.

7. "Living After Midnight"...This song has the words PARTY TIME written all over it. It is one hell of a fun & uplifting song. And it has a great beat, too. This was the hit, on the radio, in the Summer of 1980.

8. "The Rage"...This song has always been pretty good. I like this.

9. "Steeler"...Another song where the TITLE is never mentioned, either. It's pretty good, though.

Bonus Tracks

10. "Red White & Blue"...I love this song, very much. For some oddball reason, this song could remind me of "United", somewhat, in it's meaning.

11. "Grinder"...Recorded live In Concert.

This album is STILL great, in my honest opinion. It will always be HIGHLY recommended. I keep forgetting to mention, that it's really great to get the LYRICS w/ ALL of my Judas Priest CD's.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Heavy Metal Classic

Bands that have been around for a long time and have been looked up to as either founders or trendsetters in certain genres of music almost always have that one album that fans, historians, or the general public point to as that band's defining moment. "Appetite For Destruction" put Guns N' Roses on the map and changed rock history forever. KISS' "Alive" album not only proved that live albums worked, but it also made audiences take notice of the New York rockers and ultimately lead to the release of "Destroyer," which solidified KISS' dominance of rock in the 1970's. Black Sabbath's self-titled debut album shook the very foundations of rock n' roll and helped trigger the growth of heavy metal. Judas Priest did pretty much the same thing with "British Steel."

"British Steel" was a kick in the teeth that the band desperately needed to survive. Although they were a decade old, established, and had a solid fanbase, it wasn't until the rise of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal that the band found real commercial success. This 2001 remastering of that album does it justice and reminds all listeners new and old that Judas Priest is one of the most important bands not only in heavy metal, but in music as a whole.

From the blasts of "Rapid Fire" to the addictive hooks of "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight," "British Steel" has no filler whatsover. Slower tracks like "Metal Gods" may lack the speed of other tunes on the album, but they are no less powerful than the other songs.

Rob Halford's voice is strong throughout, and the playing of K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton, Dave Holland, and Ian Hill are solid as well. Downing and Tipton have always been one of my favorite guitar duos, and they flesh out the songs on this album with brilliance.

This particular release also features a previously unreleased studio track, "Red, White, and Blue" and a live version of "Grinder."

"British Steel" will go down as one of the most important albums in hard rock and heavy metal history. It captures a revived band riding the wave of newer, younger metal bands and reminded all of the newcomers that Priest had no plans of leaving any time soon!

Apesar da distância temporal, acho que o British Steel rivaliza com o Painkiller, sendo difícil dizer qual deles é o melhor disco do Judas. Já no cenário universal do Heavy Metal, este é, sem dúvida, um dos melhores discos já lançados, que serve de referência tanto para conhecer a banda quanto o estilo musical.

Bought the cd recently and for me it's Priest at their best. I have seen videos of Priest on tour around the world and seen the faces of their adoring fan looking up at the stage completely carried away with the music. Now having listened to British Steel, I get it, I understand. There is just something about that sound, so simple, but so good. I haven't been a big Judas Priest follower before, but I love this.
