HELL BENT FOR LEATHER is the epic follow up to "Stained Class" and took Judas Priest further roaring on the midnight road to massive success like a MAD MAX movie! This Album created more of the H. P. Lovecraftian Dark Universe of Heavy Metal heroes , monsters and myths, for their growing fan base. When I originally purchased this way back in high school, it changed my world, blew my mind, and flung my screaming teenaged immortal soul out into their metal maelstrom of madness and massive metal music! Take it for what you think it is, (I take this as) another release that was showing this band was getting more & more powerful with each album and made them metal GODS!. No one hit wonders were these fella no, they were the REAL DEAL and the priests of a new heavy metal religious experience! Every song is good, half are GREAT! At least one song was beyond epic : "The Green Manalishi (with the two pronged crowned)" - would go on and haunt Metal forever! now they were making a mystic metal mythology! All sung by Rob Halford: The voice of God!Read full review

All hail Judas Priest, one of the best metal bands of the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond. Hell Bent For Leather is a great CD. Check out tunes The Green Manalishi, Take On The World, Rock Forever and Hell Bent For Leather. Rob Halford's vocals are awesome, the guitar team of Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing are unbeatable, Ian Hill delivers pounding bass and Les Binks hits them drums like nobody's business. You gotta add this one to your metal CD collection.
A fun album. Lots of catchy riffs and Rob Halford...need I say more?

This CD is a fine example of Judas Priest's prime. Green Manalishi, Hell Bent for Leather, Delivering the Goods are among the high lights of this brilliant representation of the spark of the metal movement. I have owned this CD for years and would not give it to my son...so this is his copy!
I love my classic priest, I'm looking forward to completing my Priest cd collection, so for me this is the S**T classic priest at it's best, and what's not to like about killer twin guitar attack, what I love about this and other priest classics is you can always find a great song that not many people have heard before you get hit songs but then you discover some rare gem's.
