Judas Priest - Chains
Review by Bonnie Jacqueline YuenHan Mou
Chains, the thirteenth studio album by the legendary heavy metal band Judas Priest, is a tour-de-force of searing riffs, thunderous drums, and soaring vocals. Released in 1998, Chains marked a return to form for the band after a few lackluster albums in the mid-90s.
The album opens with the blistering track "Judas Rising," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its driving rhythm and catchy chorus. Other standout tracks include "Deal with the Devil," a classic Priest-style anthem with a killer guitar solo, and "Revolution," a politically charged song with a memorable chorus.
Lead singer Rob Halford's vocals are as powerful as ever on Chains, ranging from his trademark high-pitched screams to more melodic passages. He also wrote the lyrics for most of the songs on the album, which deal with themes of rebellion, redemption, and the struggle for personal freedom.
The musicianship on Chains is top-notch, with guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing delivering some of their most memorable riffs and solos, while drummer Scott Travis provides a thunderous backbone to the songs. The production is also excellent, with a crisp, clear sound that allows each instrument to shine.

This song is better than "You got another thing coming"
