EXTD=Metal Works '73-'93 - Disc 1 of 2\n1993 Columbia Records\n\nOrigi
EXTD=nally Released May 18, 1993\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Although the do
EXTD=uble-disc Metal Works '73-'93 is an intoxicating listen, it isn't
EXTD= quite the definitive Judas Priest retrospective it could have be
EXTD=en. Six of the band's 11 U.K. chart singles aren't here, and whil
EXTD=e "Johnny B. Goode" probably won't be missed, Hell Bent for Leath
EXTD=er's "Take on the World" and "Evening Star," British Steel's "Uni
EXTD=ted," and Point of Entry's "Don't Go" and "Hot Rockin'" ought to 
EXTD=have been included, especially since they were released during th
EXTD=e band's influential prime. One could also argue for more materia
EXTD=l from the Stained Class era and less from the weaker mid- to lat
EXTD=e-'80s albums. Plus, the songs aren't arranged in chronological o
EXTD=rder, which makes it difficult to piece together the band's evolu
EXTD=tion and (sometimes trend-following) stylistic shifts. But quibbl
EXTD=es aside, the collection makes a strong case for Judas Priest's v
EXTD=ersatility, drawing from nearly all of their albums' material, en
EXTD=compassing dark, driving riff rockers, melodic heavy metal, radio
EXTD=-ready commercial hard rock, the occasional ballad, and lyrics ra
EXTD=nging from street-tough aggression and party anthems to sci-fi/fa
EXTD=ntasy themes and hints at Satanic posturing. The band's musicians
EXTD=hip shines throughout; Priest's tightly controlled style was play
EXTD=ed with a sense of groove that allowed the music to breathe and k
EXTD=ept it from sounding too tight-assed. In between the lesser-known
EXTD= tracks, which are often impressive, comes one metal classic afte
EXTD=r another: "Victim of Changes," "Living After Midnight," "Breakin
EXTD=g the Law," "Hell Bent for Leather," "You've Got Another Thing Co
EXTD=min'," "Screaming for Vengeance," and more. Even if it isn't quit
EXTD=e a definitive portrait of the band, it is an enjoyable one; many
EXTD= necessary items are here, and it rocks hard from start to finish
EXTD=. -- Steve Huey \n \nAmazon.com Customer Review\n10 Out of 10 peo
EXTD=ple agree, Metal Works! Especially Priest!, June 21, 2004\nReview
EXTD=er: Will Culp (Greenville, South Carolina) \nReleased in 1993, Me
EXTD=tal Works '73-'93 was the first Judas Priest compilation to be is
EXTD=sued and was put out to commemorate Judas Priest's 30th Anniversa
EXTD=ry.\nFor a little less than 3 decades, some of the hardest, tough
EXTD=est, and in-your-face metal was put out by a band called Judas Pr
EXTD=iest, whom any metalhead will instantly recognize. Being one of t
EXTD=he few British Metal acts to hit the mainstream, along with Iron 
EXTD=Maiden, Judas Priest still resounds firmly in Metal History, with
EXTD= instantly familar songs such as "You've Got Another Thing Coming
EXTD=" and "Breaking The Law" solidifying them as Metal Gods to be rec
EXTD=koned with. Before Metallica bursted into the scene in the late 8
EXTD=0s, Judas Priest proudly carried the Speed Metal torch that by th
EXTD=e 90's was dimmed, but their legacy has never been distinguished.
EXTD= So, to commerate the 30th Anniversary of Judas Priest, the membe
EXTD=rs got together and chose all their favorite songs from Sin After
EXTD= Sin through Painkiller, and these songs you find on this collect
EXTD=ion. While this CD technically might not be a "Greatest Hits" or 
EXTD="Best Of" compilation, it still covers all of Judas Priest's most
EXTD= popular songs, so don't fret. So how does Metal Works as a retro
EXTD=spective for Judas Priest measure up? Well, if I must say so, pre
EXTD=tty damn well!\n\nPROS-\n-THE BEST JUDAS PRIEST COMPILATION-The O
EXTD=ther Judas Priest compilations, Livin' After Midnight and Metalog
EXTD=y, each aren't as good as Metal Works. Livin' After Midnight simp
EXTD=ly isn't as expansive or complete as Metal Works, while Metalogy 
EXTD=is way too expensive and I only recommend that to die-hard fans i
EXTD=f you want a CD of demos.\n-METAL WORKS HAS ALL OF THE BIG JUDAS 
EXTD=PRIEST RADIO STAPLES-Casual fans will be delighted to find on Met
EXTD=al Works such radio staples as "You've Got Another Thing Coming",
EXTD= "Breaking the Law", and "Livin' After Midnight" for your listeni
EXTD=ng pleasure!\n-METAL WORKS HAS MANY UNDERRATED MASTERPIECES-Of al
EXTD=l the songs on here, my favorites are the relatively obscure and 
EXTD=well-picked songs only the band members of Judas Priest could thi
EXTD=nk of. Two songs that come to mind are the phenomenal "Blood Red 
EXTD=Skies" and "Metal Gods".\n-EVERY ALBUM FROM SIN AFTER SIN TO PAIN
EXTD=KILLER HAS REPRESENTATION-For each album during Judas Priest's "G
EXTD=lory Years", Metal Works takes 1-4 songs off every one of those a
EXTD=lbums and compiles them. It is very interesting to see how Judas 
EXTD=Priest's sound differed over the years.\n-NO 90'S (RIPPER) MATERI
EXTD=AL!- As any fan of Judas Priest will admit, all of Priest's 90's 
EXTD=material with Tim "The Ripper" Owens in fortuneatly nowhere to be
EXTD= found! Thank God!\n-SUPERB LINER NOTES- For every song off Metal
EXTD= Works, the band members of Judas Priest each give a history for 
EXTD=every song on Metal Works, and it makes for a very informative an
EXTD=d interesting read.\n-EXCELLENT COVER DESIGN- Although this in no
EXTD= way affects my rating for Metal Works, like every other Judas Pr
EXTD=iest album, the Cover Design is some of the best you'll ever see!
EXTD=\n\nCONS(THERE AREN'T MANY)-\n-NO REPRESENTATION OF JUDAS PRIEST'
EXTD=S FIRST TWO ALBUMS- Although I've heard Priest's Early Material w
EXTD=asn't all that great, I wish Metal Works would have covered it, b
EXTD=ecause many people I've heard from say that the Early Stuff isn't
EXTD= half bad!\n-WHERE'S THE "GREEN MANALISHI"?- As most fans will te
EXTD=ll you, the "Green Manalishi" is one of the band's biggest hits, 
EXTD=and this is the only compilation missing that little gem of a son
EXTD=g. Oh well, you can't have every song you want.\n-MORE EXPENSIVE 
EXTD=AND HARDER TO FIND THAN LIVIN' AFTER MIDNIGHT- Although Metal Wor
EXTD=ks isn't out of print, it's not that easy to find in most CD stor
EXTD=es, and it is more expensive than Living After Midnight, which mi
EXTD=ght turn some casual fans off.\n\nOverall, Metal Works '73-'93 is
EXTD= one of my favorite compilations, if not my favorite, and it is a
EXTD= glorious retrospective of Judas Priest, one of the greatest Meta
EXTD=l bands of their time. Although not as easy to find or buy as Liv
EXTD=in' After Midnight, Metal Works is overall the better compilation
EXTD=, and if you happen to find it, I suggest buying it on the spot, 
EXTD=as you'll find no Judas Priest retrospective nearly as good as Me
EXTD=tal Works.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nDual Guitars and Killer
EXTD= Riffs, August 27, 2001\nReviewer: J. E FELL "boogaloojef" (Carte
EXTD=rville, Illinois United States) \nThis is a 2 cd Judas Priest ant
EXTD=hology. The anthology actually spans the years 1977-1990 not 1973
EXTD=-93 as the title suggests. During this time period the band was s
EXTD=igned to Columbia/CBS. Pre CBS material is not included in this s
EXTD=et except for a live version of "Victim of Changes" from 1979. Th
EXTD=e lynch pins of the set are the dual guitars of Glenn Tipton and 
EXTD=K. K. Downing along with the impressive vocal range of Rob Halfor
EXTD=d. The band was one of the most successful hard rock/heavy metal 
EXTD=bands from the late seventies until the late eighties. The set co
EXTD=ntains many but NOT ALL of the band's biggest hits. This is the r
EXTD=eason I am only giving this a four star rating instead of five. A
EXTD=mong the missing cuts, some of which turned up on a single disk b
EXTD=est of are "Hot Rockin'", "The Green Manalishi", "Some Heads Are 
EXTD=Gonna Roll" and "Diamonds and Rust". The set does include many fo
EXTD=rgotten gems like "Delivering The Goods", "Beyond The Realms of D
EXTD=eath", "Exciter", "Desert Plains", "The Rage" and others. The set
EXTD= however suffers from and over dependence on material from the we
EXTD=aker post "Defenders Of The Faith" albums at the expense of some 
EXTD=neglected earlier material. Some earlier material I wish was incl
EXTD=uded is "Star Breaker", "White Heat, Red Hot", "Killing Machine",
EXTD= "Rock Forever" and "Rapid Fire" among others. This being said th
EXTD=e set does include such anthems as "You've Got Another Thing Comi
EXTD=n'", "Breaking The Law", "Living After Midnight", and "Heading Ou
EXTD=t To The Highway" (live not the studio version). The set does pro
EXTD=vide a fairly good representation of an exciting band. If you are
EXTD= only interested in the hits I suggest the single disk "Living Af
EXTD=ter Midnight" set, but if you want to obtain some hidden gems wit
EXTD=hout purchasing every disk by the band, this set is hard to beat.
EXTD= This was probably the most influential hard rock/heavy metal ban
EXTD=d from England during this time period.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Re
EXTD=view\nOne of the best, January 27, 2001\nReviewer: Sean Friess (W
EXTD=auseon, Ohio) \nThis is perhaps the best collection I've ever hea
EXTD=rd by a band. It would have been nice if they would have just ign
EXTD=ored Turbo and Ram It Down, but I'll live. Most of the picks here
EXTD= are tough to argue with. Unfortunately, the legal problems they'
EXTD=ve had since 1976 don't allow them to use anything recorded on Sa
EXTD=d Wings or Rocka Rolla. They did not omit these out of distaste, 
EXTD=they just din't have a choice. Overall, a great introduction to a
EXTD=n amazing band, that is worth every penny.\n\nAmazon.com Customer
EXTD= Review\nGreat, but not as good as it could have been., March 10,
EXTD= 1999\nReviewer: John J. Rinck (Hollister, CA United States) \nTh
EXTD=is collection is not meant to be a greatest hits, but more of a "
EXTD=favorites" for the bandmembers themselves. This is both good and 
EXTD=bad, but how can one really argue with the masters themselves? Ho
EXTD=wever, the ommission of any songs from their first two albums (Ro
EXTD=cka Rolla and Sad Wings of Destiny), with the exception of the li
EXTD=ve 'Victim of Changes', leads one to believe that these are favor
EXTD=ites within a subset, which compromises the collection. I wonder 
EXTD=if Judas Priest could have used Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings of Dest
EXTD=iny, whether they would have chosen some of those songs over the 
EXTD=ones they actually used. But in the end the songs presented do sh
EXTD=ow the history and diversity of the band, and the liner notes sho
EXTD=w how personal these songs really are to the bandmembers. If you 
EXTD=even want to think you are a Judas Priest fan, you need to have t
EXTD=his double CD set in your collection. All hail the Metal Gods!\n\n
