Albums like British Steel, alonside their other albums, are what make JP so special. As a pioneer of the genre, they never shoehorned themselves into one sound. It’s why I ultimately prefer them over Maiden (and why I love Killers so much), Maiden evolved their sound by always adding MORE whereas there is a lot of merit to stripping back and doing “more” with less. I’m also the biggest Priest fanboy on the site though, so grain of salt and all that
