Eh to each his own I guess. Maybe the compression going in and out is just a failure on Tidal's end, but I doubt it with a record like this.

Screaming for Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith are going to hit the closest to this. Angel of Retribution has some songs that would've fit here (Judas Rising, Hellrider) but overall is chiller. Stained Class and Sad Wings are classics, but have a notably different sound.

@Futures Sad Wings is their next best imo, but a more melancholy and florid classic metal sound. Screaming and Defenders are closest to this and great too. Hawks what the fuck lol. How can you love A7X and not have heard those!

A Touch of Evil is my favorite Priest song. The second best vocal performance in metal after revolution calling

well, I finally went and listened to a Queensryche song. Tate definitely has a high voice.

Tate is one of the all-time greatest metal vocalists, regardless of how much of a fucking douche he is

Maybe I should 5 this. I always considered Sad Wing of Destiny best Priest and that ain't changing, but this one is so good and has so much replay value.

Defenders is my fave Priest, but won't argue that Sad Wings is great metal.

On Tate, he's my fave rock vocalist.

Almost 35 years on and they still didn’t need to go this hard.
