In hindsight Roger Glover wouldn't be the right person to produce that album and you've summed him and his laid back approach very well, but I do think his influence on the band encouraged them to branch out and for that reason it's probably the richest sounding album in the band's discography, most won't agree with me there, but there you have it. Also I think Sin After Sin is also a metal album for non-metalheads and more for a listener of rock in general. |
Dude, it's Judas Priest. They have the diversity of a skinhead rally. You might as well tell a cactus to branch out. "Last Rose of Summer" just sounds like the seventies version of that really lame power ballad that was somewhere on every hair band's album back in the eighties. It's just...awful. I don't even like "Diamonds and Rust". I know it's supposed to be one of their classics, but it's just a snoozefest as far as I'm concerned. Of course, most of the album is still fantastic, but when I have to skip more than one track on an album, I start deducting points.
