Judas Priest-Painkiller(my review)

Judas Priest suddenly changed from heavy metal band to speed, thrash metal band in year 1990 just with this album.
Painkiller album is their the hardest, heaviest. Album contains great, majestic songs with crushing atmosphere. Album art cover shows the furious face of music. Album starts with "Painkiller" which contains mad riffs and high screams by Rob Halford. This song is a total attack. "Hell patrol" continues with fascinating atmosphere. "All guns blazing" has great lyrics, guitars. "Leather rebel" and "Metal meltdown" force everybody to tell it's awesome. "Night crawler" has very catchy beautiful melodies. "Between the hammer and the anvil" is another hard, perfect song. "A touch of evil" is slower but ranks among the most known songs by Judas Priest. "One shoot at glory" is majestic song with great lyrics, melodies, vocals. Judas Priest recorded masterpiece. Here is no weak place. It's hard, heavy and mad. Every musician created fascinating nature here on this album.
It's really unbelievable that Judas Priest recorded such hard, speed album. Painkiller is really insuperable. And it's true that this album ranks among the greatest heavy, speed and thrash metal albums. Explanation-Judas Priest was closer to the bands Metallica, Anthrax or Megadeth just with this album. I don't know any other heavy metal band which did do it too.

And interesting is that Metallica recorded The black album year after Painkiller by Judas Priest. Painkiller is in this example heavier album than Metallica's The black album.
