  Painkiller (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Painkiller is a 1990 gold-certifed album of British heavy metal band Judas Priest.
Following the poor sales of the album Ram it Down which was itself an attempt at reconciling with the public over the perceived sellout, Turbo, Judas Priest returned to their classic 70s style while borrowing contemporary speed metal techniques resulting in their most critically acclaimed album in a decade.
The album is viewed by some as the quintessential speed metal album and the style proved highly influential to European power metal bands such as Gamma Ray and Primal Fear.

This song could easily be in Painkiller not only because the song sounds exactly like it was written in that style but because quality wise it is in the standards of that album.
We were all waiting for Painkiller replica album and judging from the band’s previous 2 albums no one could expect an album as good as Angel Of Retribution.
Rob Halford’s solo career is evident on the album sound’s not only production wise (Roy Z produced it who was also guitar player of Rob’s solo albums) but it seems that Rob did lots of writing with the rest of the members.

These albums don't have the grand musical statement feel you get from some of Zorn's solo albums, which is good in a way — these CDs may be his least important, but they are also his least pretentious.
Painkiller has developed a method of improvising in a rock format that's very idiosyncratic, but improvising it is, and the Sonny Rollins trio it ain't!

 Judas Priest : Painkiller - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
But it isn't just the rediscovered power that makes Painkiller the band's strongest musical effort in ages: the elegant "A Touch of Evil," for example, is reminiscent of the progressive, intricately arranged pieces of their '70s work.
Painkiller is a qualified success -- the album's Achilles' heel is its lyrics, which rarely depart from standard-issue odes to heavy metal rebellion and comic book/fantasy themes that sometimes cross the line into cringe-inducing silliness; it almost seems like a deliberate avoidance of any substantive content.
Still, if you can ignore the lyrics, the terrific, raging performances make Painkiller Judas Priest's first truly satisfying album since 1982's Screaming for Vengeance; unfortunately, it would also be their last with Halford, taking some of the triumph away from their comeback.

 JUDAS PRIEST | Unique, Detailed Biography | Rockdetector
For the renaissance 'Painkiller' album, which saw the band back at their most ferocious, JUDAS PRIEST pulled in ex-HAWK and RACER X drummer Scott Travis, Holland having left due to "touring pressures".
The 'Painkiller' world tour proved hugely successful, with a long stint in America with support acts PANTERA, TESTAMENT and MEGADETH before playing the gargantuan 'Rock in Rio' festival in Brazil then hopping over to Europe with support act ANNIHILATOR prior to shows in Japan and Hawaii.
The allegation was that the two had tried to kill themselves with a shotgun after listening to the track 'Better By You, Better Than Me' from the 'Stained Class' album, probably one of the band's most innocuous songs recorded and a cover version of a SPOOKY TOOTH track at that.

 JUDAS PRIEST - Angel Of Retribution - METAL DREAMS REVIEW
The album is chock full of classic Judas Priest sounds, with songs that will soon take their place alongside the classics and make you forget they ever released Jugulator and Demolition.
On this track, the comparisons to “Painkiller” are purposeful, as the song continues the saga of the futuristic, demon-slaying, motorcycle-riding, savior of mankind.
While not as fast as “Painkiller,” the riffs are no less killer, and the ‘endless solo section’ proves that Tipton and KK didn’t take the easy way out.

Painkiller is the band's fastest and heaviest album to date and easily one of their best.
Judas Priest's Painkiller, released in 1990, was one of the greatest Priest albums I ever heard next to Screaming for Vengeance, Stained Class and British Steel.

Painkiller succeeds in bridging many styles in the genre without anything sounding forced, which is a tribute to the skills of the artists involved.
The West Coast funk that influenced Kriz is alive and well on Painkillers and he manages to do it as well or better than most of the local cats you'll hear.

The title tracks on this album are musical tributes to two of John Zorn's favorite artists, a filmmaker and a novelist.
This album has some serious historical significance for any Zorn fan (like The Big Gundown, he pays tribute to one of his favorite musicians by turning the original compositions inside-out), but it's not very good.
This album documents the history of Jews in Europe and Israel in the middle of the 20th century.

 The Metal Crypt - Reviews
The previous two albums were recorded with terrible drum machines (listen to "Blood Red Sky" on "Ram It Down" when the drums enter and you’ll get the picture) and was one of the main reasons why these two albums sound awful, among other things like cheesy lyrics and guitar synthesizers.
I also think this album is a turning point for heavy metal music in general, like "British Steel" did, 10 years before "Painkiller", in 1980.
"Painkiller" received mitigated response from the fans in 1990 and I think this is partly due to their two weaker albums released previously and the huge step between "Ram It Down" and this album.

 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Painkiller
Less than fifteen seconds into the title track of their 1990 release, Painkiller immediately lays down one simple statement: Priest was not f*%anding around with this album.
Megadeth's Rust In Peace would be the band's commercial and artistic peak and Metallica's fl album would forever change Metallica in the eyes of their fans.
It's understandable that the band has been trying to recapture the magic of their earlier recordings, but Painkiller would have been the perfect album to end their career with: a near-masterpiece that can stand with the band's best works.

 Judas Priest: Ram It Down / Painkiller - PopMatters Music Review
Your last studio album, Turbo, was a big commercial success, although longtime fans deem it a betrayal of the classic Priest sound.
That album, Ram It Down, is so bad, in fact, that it is only beaten by Raven's epic failure The Pack is Back for the dubious honor of The Worst Eighties Metal Album Ever Made (okay, that's only my own opinion, but take my word for it).
The rest of the album is just as bad, with the kinky "Love Zone" and "Love You to Death" (which comes complete with whip-cracks) sounding almost as funny as "Sex Farm".

 Judas Priest - Painkiller review
After the lackluster Turbo (which I still think is an ok album) and Ram it Down, this was a complete surprise.
Judas Priest have been around for a while (their first album being 1974's Rocka Rolla) and have never put out an album quite like this.
The solo in the middle is also one of the highlights on this album.

 Judas Priest Painkiller CD
The album-opening title track is one of Priest's heaviest and greatest songs (brace yourself before it kicks in!), and the band takes no prisoners on such titles as "Hell Patrol" and "A Touch of Evil." An inspired way to close out Halford-era Priest.
I really don't understand why i had never heard of one shot at glory before i bought this album because it's one of my favorite songs on the album but i can't say wich is best it would be painkiller or nightcrawler i don't know they're both magnificent!!
after that, it was Painkiller album all the way!!!JP, thanks for letting out the true Metal Maniac in me for the past 38 years of my life.

 BNR Metal Pages -- Judas Priest   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Their next couple of albums faltered a bit, but they rebounded with the excellent Painkiller album, an album which signalled the end of the Halford era, the vocalist departing to pursue various other interests.
An album deserving of the hallowed Priest name, Angel sees Halford in his typical fine form, and the reunion of Rob with guitarists Glenn and K.K. is welcomed by fans the world over.
Clearly one of the best comeback albums in some time, and no doubt an Internet Top Ten album of the year when all is said and done.

 Review of DEMOLITION
I guess one of the advantages is that I've had quite a while to digest this album so I have a better perspective on where it all fits.
Overall, though, the song is probably one of the worst on the album, especially lyrically.
Metal bands sometimes struggle with putting ballads on their albums, but Priest has always managed to only put GOOD ones on theirs (well, they screw up later on, but wait).

Owens, of course, was the star of the most celebrated "cinderella story" in the history of metal when he was plucked from the obscurity of Ohio band Winters Bane to become the lead singer of Judas Priest when Rob Halford took his leave after the Painkiller album.
This is a solid traditional metal album that has definite reminders of his Priest and Iced Earth days but which also incorporates some more modern influences from the likes of Fear Factory and Godsmack.
This is the token ballad on the album, but it's lifted beyond the average because it is obviously autobiographical and Tim puts a ton of emotion into it.
