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

This was one of the first Priest albums I have ever heard. I don't remember which was first...this or "Painkiller". Well anyway, this album is the classic one! This is often said to be the best Judas Priest album because there's hits "Living After Midnight", "Breaking the Law", "Rapid Fire", and "United". I cannot blame them who think that way. Still, I think that "Sad Wings of Destiny" and "Stained Class" would deserve better treatment, because they are a little bit better than this. This is true ... Read More

I bought this one when it originally came out in the 80's on vinyl, and now more recently on CD Remastered. One of Judias Priest's best records and one of the best heavy metal records as well. Up there with AC/DC Highway to Hell and Back in Black.

Metal Gods Judas Priest released its sixth studio album British Steel in May of 1980.
The album was a change for the band in several ways. First, the band (which consisted of lead singer Rob Halford, lead guitarists Glenn Tipton and KK Downing and bass player Ian Hill) got a new drummer out of ex-Trapeze drummer Dave Holland (who would be their second long serving drummer (only his successor Scott Travis has been with them for 19 years)). Second, the band recruited producer Tom Allom (beginning ... Read More

It all started in '79 for me. We were going to see Robin Trower that night at the San Bernardino Fairgrounds and we were listening to some records and getting stoned at my friend Greg's house before we left. Someone put on the new record they just got "Unleashed in the East" and my mind was blown. After that show me and my friends went and bought all of the previous Judas Priest albums in the next few weeks. All of them were great at the time but some stuck out as better (Sad Wings, Sin After Sin & Stained ... Read More

Ahh, British Steel, the album that officially put Priest on the map here in the states, with songs like the catchy simple Breaking the Law and the pop rock catchiness of Living After Midnight. I notice some give these album flack because of the simpleness of the riffs and the seemingly commercial direction but this albums positives far outweight any gripe you can have with it. Priest had already succeeded in making the Sabbath inspired metal classics like Sad Wings and Stained Class. Because of those albums ... Read More
