Album review

The main guitar riff from "Breaking the Law" is one of the most recognizable from early '80s heavy metal. Though British Steel sounds dated these days, it's also a classic album, 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; the lightning-fast riffs on "Rapid Fire," the anthemic "Metal Gods" and "United," the obligatory party song "Living After Midnight," and the equally obligatory youth-rebellion song, "You Don't Have to Be Old to Be Wise". Metalheads are a dying breed these days, and those unfamiliar with Judas Priest will probably want to start with The Best of Judas Priest: Living After Midnight. Of all their albums, however, British Steel is unquestionably the best. -- Genevieve Williams
