    Rating:
    Things are looking up for Priest as they release 78's "Stained class". They've skipped the progressive side of theirs that figured on tracks like "Here comes the tears" on Sin after sin, and now it's pure heavy metal of the highest quality with lots of great riffs & solos, and Halford doesn't let any of the fans down, he sings even higher on this one and as usual it's great.
    "Exciter" and "Beyond the realms of death" both feature a couple of my absolute favorite solos of all time.
    A great album, mainly tracks 1-3, 5-6 & 8 are the highlights, the other tracks could be a bit better but don't worry buy this anyway if you haven't got it already.
