Judas Priest's 'Sin After Sin' is a very "raw" album.......by that I mean the production quality is a little lacking......The opener 'Sinner' is very reminiscent of the previous album 'Sad Wings Of Destiny' with the chant "god of the devil" and the solo is very haunting......the lyrics are a little sophmoric, but that can be overlooked because the song just rocks!! And the tempo is agressive, though the production quality is a little "tinny" on this remaster, but remember this is Priest in their infantcy. Their rendition of Diamonds and Rust is absolutely divine, a fast paced, reflective tune with appropriate amounts of power and drama. Starbreaker has an excellent drum opening and Rob Halford's voice is excellent. Last Rose Of Summer is "ok" to me, but I'm not a huge fan of Priest ballads. Let Us Prey/Call For the Priest is a decent rocker, it kind of rambles on and on and makes me wish it would end sooner than it does, this is mostly due to the lyrics (just my opinion of course) the guitars are awesome but the vocals, meh :-/ Raw Deal is a heavy hitting tune with the drums up front and a great riff......the lyrics are strong, crunchy and melodic, a great Priest song! Here Come The Tears; here they get the formula right, starts off slow and melodramatic and slowly builds in intesity! A power ballad that many bands (Motley Crüe) would be trying to replicate years later Dissident Aggressor is easily the best and most powerful song on the album, along with the first track ''Sinner'" This song just rocks from beginning to end!!!! All in all a very "good" Judas Priest album. The one after it 'Stained Class' is worlds better IMO, but if you're a fan of Judas Priest, you're gonna want this.......if you just want the "choice cuts" download 'Sinner' , 'Diamonds & Rust' & 'Dissident Aggressor' and 'Here Come the Tears'Read full review
An excellent Cd with extras.

I bought this album the first time, when it first came out, as a record album, back in the 70's. I was a teenager ready to have my world ROCKED - and ROCKED IT WAS! I thought Judas Priest's Lead singer Rob Halford was the "Voice of God", a subject I still wonder about often. I discovered Heavy Metal music the same summer I read my first H.P. Lovecraft Literature. Those two elements sent my summer vacation into a wondrous haze of cosmic dread of the endless Universe around me, as I hiked across vast empty corn fields afraid I'd accidentally step through into some alternate reality.
