It was unexpected, but there were some catchy songs on the album. I even had "United" stuck in my head all day as well today. I was walking through my workplace with that song on repeat in my head. Judas Priest though thankfully left a lot of their darker lyrically themed music behind for this one. I don't like that sort of music, and it would have just made me more hesitant to listen. This album is a little more safer for the mainstream audience.
History: It's 1980 and Judas Priest would release their sixth album. The sound they would return to for this album would be classified as more commercial, and for the fans who enjoyed their darker metal stuff, this would be drawing away from that. The album would also feature some new musician lineups. The reviews for this album are quite positive with critics.
