Judas Priest, STAINED CLASS, Columbia JC 35296.

I was in Reno for several years in the late '80s and early '90s and peripherally lived through the trial episode (local news reports which I only paid half-attention to at the time). About a year ago I spotted the DREAM DECEIVERS video documentary Dream Deceivers about the trial, and it really got hold of me. At the time, I thought it was a criminal trial on a ludicrous premise. Er, wrong. About half in on the documentary one catches that the judge, Jerry Whitehead, had a wake up call on the backward masking allegations and I saw that look at the "...peppermint..." plot twist that he was thinking, "oh, oh, oops, I've been had!" It was a product liability suit so the record industry would have to shut down "evil" record production based on a 1981 hoax. This was the fourth (or more?) law enforcement trial trying to establish that subliminal messages existed in production.

Never heard anything by these guys before--well, I discovered I'd heard one of their songs before: Pat Boone's version of "You Got Another Thing Comin'" (PAT BOONE, NO MORE MR. NICE GUY metal CD--yes, it's true). Frankly, I've thought of Judas Priest as a very low working class kiddie rock band, a kind of dark Heavy Metal rock English band that is the taste equivalent of 3rd rate '70s "outlaw" country music by the likes of Waylon Jennings' Dukes of Hazzard period, Mel McDaniels' aping Bruce Springsteen, and Hank Williams Jr.'s endlessly rehashed drunk-and-falling-off-the-stage boogie rock stuff (between Kenny Rogers abysmal crooning for bluehairs and beer gut boogie rock, '80s country never sounded so awful; the less said about Dolly Parton's disco period, the better...).

Actually, this is a very decent hard late '70s album. Halford's voice soars and hits his notes full-on, the band boogies and rocks well with blues licks, good dual guitar work; a fine addition, compared to the '80s cartoon Heavy Metal "hair bands" bands like heavy bubblegum acts Motley Crue and Poison, who both are stylistically not that far off from the Partridge Family, Osmonds, and Monkees. No sugar candy synth pop fluff here, just straight ahead heavy rock 'n roll without the sludge.

Vinyl Lp is whisper quiet on a heavy slab of 180 grain vinyl; inner sleeve with the notes and lyrics is decided plus; I picked up the CD for convenience. Original vinyl Lp here in the 'States only had a generic inner paper sleeve (known as a "dust seal"). This Lp was Judas Priest's third chart album in the U.S.; SAD WINGS OF DESTINY and SIN AFTER SIN charted on the Cash Box charts in September, 1976 and June, 1977, respectively, though this album was only the first to chart on the Billboard 200 Lp chart (peak 4/22/78). Cash Box charted it for six weeks on a 150 position Lp chart, topping at #134.

The start of a new Priest.

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2013

I've always liked Judas Priest. I won't say I'm a die hard fan, but I do like listening to them. Stained Class starts off JP in a new direction, one that broadens their horizons both lyrically and musicially. We start off with "Exciter" and has one of the most memorable openings of any heavy metal song the drums are killer! Halford's vocals are ranged from high pitched to a mid yell (as any Judas Priest fan already knows). Second we have "Red Heat White Hot" Personally, I'm not too fond of this track, not too sure why maybe it will grow on me. It just seems like it drags on, although the solo is nice. "Better By You, Better Than Me" is perhaps one of the best covers in heavy metal history. Absolutely love this track. Yes I know its a Spooky Tooth Cover but man does it rock. "Stained Class" comes next. I've never met a title track I didn't like and this is no exception. Halford's vocals rise to the sky with his classic heavy metal shrieks! The guitars are galloping and the drums are pounding. It has all the signs of a classic metal track. "Invader" is an odd track and progressive for the band at this time especially for 1978. "Saints In Hell" possibly the darkest song on the album musically. Rob's vocals are really high pitched on this track especially. Overall, its a half and half track for me. "Savage" starts off with Rob yelling back and forth but it is the slowest track off the whole album. "Beyond The Realms Of Death" is one of their best tracks. The intro is melodic and almost calm. Until Rob shrieks "YEAH!!" and we get some heavy metal riffs in the face thanks to the two men on guitar. This is possibly the best song off the whole album. "Heroes End" rounds out this album for a few. Rob's vocals are pretty tame compared to prior tracks and the riffs are quite melodic. The drumming is nice as well, Les Binks does a great job keeping the beat on this track. Overall, this is a classic heavy metal album from the early days. If you want to hear some of their earlier stuff check out Sad Wings Of Destiny. This isn't their best album but it is in the top three. A must have for any fan of metal.

"A RUNAWAY TRAIN OF SPEED, DARKNESS AND CREATIVITY"

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2016

Stained Class remains one of Priest's absolute finest albums and one of the pinnacles of their seventies era material,
This album makes me feel different in each cut of the disc, each song does not follow a similar pattern, structurally is very different , this
creates relaxing atmospheres, like other brutal, hot and cold , and a storm of pure HEAVY METAL, sounding something unique, not copies of anything or anyone.
The origins of extreme metal are hinted at in pieces such as ‘EXCITER’, which elaborates further on the quintet’s advancement towards more aggressive techniques and motifs, heavy on palm muted rhythmic guitar riffs and rapid fire double bass pedals, overlaid with ROB HALFORD"S banshee-like falsetto and lead guitars which although in terms of patterns and scales are not yet free of the restraints of rock music from previous decades, clearly set a BENCHMARK for the revival of neoclassical technique in the metal genre
BEYOND THE REALMS OF DEATH one of the best songs of the disc, composed by newcomer to the band Les Binks, has everything you need to have to embroider the disc, a beautiful ballad , incredible rhythms, long solos, a battle between Tipton and Downing endless, a long 6 minutes 51 seconds to make it short.
