METAL RULES

Judas Priest
The Essential Judas Priest

October 2006
Released: 2006, Columbia/Legacy
Rating: 3.5/5
Reviewer: Celtic Bob

A band that needs no introduction. A group that some consider to be the ultimate metal band and a favorite of many. With over 30 songs spanning their entire career this is a good starting point if you are unfamiliar with the band.

Most everything you’d expect to hear is on this double disc collection. A few essential tracks are missing and replaced by lesser known newer ones. A decent sounding compilation if you are looking for a disc to put in the car. The packaging is minimal as you’d expect with this type of release. Another money grab at the expense of the fans.
