"you may be the first person who hates free wheel burning!"
No, I was the first one. 
Then again... after few rounds it kinda grew on me. 
Seriously speaking, I first felt it was too fast for my liking... but I just needed to get used to it!

OK, you want to know what did it for me with DOF. Freewheel Burning, sucks as a song and a video. That's why I put DOF under SFV. I hate that song, and I hate the video. I'll put anything on SFV against Freewheel burning and it will sound better to me. I just hate that song. Why in the Hell did they make that a video? Love bites was much better.

LOL, cock rock. SFV kicks arse, that album is never far away from my CD player in my car lol. At the moment though DOTF rules the roost, I love the dark overtones of the album as a whole. The Sentinel is awesome because the most violent and dark part of the song is also the slowest musically, it's very cool. I love both albums but agree that SFV is more accessible.

All of them, the album as a whole, SFV is way more upbeat and the songs a bit more accessible I think. DOTF is quite a menacing kind of album for want of a better word, Freewheel Burning, Jawbreaker, Rock Hard Ride Free, Love Bites, Some Heads Are Gonna Roll plus the ones you mentioned are just darker songs than those on SFV. SFV, with the exception of the title track and Bloodstone is the closest thing Priest have to cock rock apart from Turbo.

I might be a victim of living in the Chicago area which, unbelieveabley does not have a Metal radio staion (a few have come and gone quickly over the years), but the only song I've ever heard on the radio here off the SFV album is YGOTC. Off DOTF, I've heard Freewheel Burning, Rock Hard Ride Free and Love Bites. Maybe SFV sounds more commercial to you, but with the exception of the above mentioned song DOTF has experienced much more radio play than SFV. I only have about 34 years of listening experience here, but it's a sad reality of no real Metal airplay in this area. Priest actually, even today, gets more airplay off the British Steel album than any other in this area. Green Manalishi is another staple on the LOOP (local rock sta.) more airplay than most.
Not one song off the first side of SFV gets airplay...period! Fever and Devil's Child would be the only other candidates and it just doesn't happen.
Defender's, IMO, is way more commercial. I really don't see where DOTF is a darker album. What songs are you referring to and please don't say The Sentinel, Eat Me Alive or Heavy Duty.
We all have our opinions, but using words like heavier and darker, I just don't see it.

I'm not sure how you can consider DOTF the twin to SFV. I hear this a lot and disagree with it totally. Its like the standard opinion. No what I'm sayin? Defenders is total heavy metal while SFV has the pop sounding YGAC, Feaver, Take these chains, ect. Whatever. Don't get me wrong, I love SFV, just not as heavy as Defenders.

I consider DOTF as the twin of Vengance, but not as good. It was good but not as good as Vengance. I also agree with you that until pankiller came out, they did nothting of note during that time. I like about 2 songs on turbo and about two on Ram it Dowm. Sorry, fans, just how I feel. I was truely dissoulitioned with Ram it Down. Hurt my Metal heart. It was OK, but not what I had come to expect.

Budred, don't get me wrong by my expressed disappointment as I do consider DOTF to be a good release. The songs Rock Hard Ride Free, The Sentinel, Love Bites and Eat Me Alive are good songs that I really enjoy, it's the rest of them that leave me wanting. That, coupled with the album cover along with following such a great album in SFV, I expected something completely mind blowing. Unfortunately for me, just the opposite happend. Many of Priests' fans got hooked on them with the DOTF release, and I can certainly understand why. I had been a fan of theirs for a number of years by that time and just felt let down (a lot like I was with Point of Entry).

I'm sure I'll get slammed for this but I was sort of disappointed with DOF. The cover looked like Lego's (so UNmetal) and the music didn't evolve to a higher level from SFV and the lyrics took a step back from my age group. It was at that point that I started to realize that the band wasn't going to mature with me (later verified by the Turbo release).
Not that I don't like DOF, but to me it was the first step towards a decline that they didn't really recover from until Painkiller.

The Freewheel Burning Video may not be thier best I agree but it beats the hell out of the Turbo Lover video by far haha! The song "Freewheel Burning" to me is a classic,it never bothered me at all and I still like the track,its "Rock Hard Ride Free,Eat Me Alive,Night Comes Down"...those 3 songs are "weak" and this is why I rate Angel Of Retribution over Defenders Of The Faith.
I'd take Revolution,Worth Fighting For and Angel over Rock Hard Ride Free,Eat Me Alive and Night Comes Down anyday. Screaming For Vengeance is better as the only weak links on that album are Take These Chains and Fever.

The songs Rock Hard Ride Free, The Sentinel, Love Bites and Eat Me Alive are good songs that I really enjoy, it's the rest of them that leave me wanting. That, coupled with the album cover along with following such a great album in SFV, I expected something completely mind blowing. Unfortunately for me, just the opposite happend. Many of Priests' fans got hooked on them with the DOTF release, and I can certainly understand why. I had been a fan of theirs for a number of years by that time and just felt let down (a lot like I was with Point of Entry).

I'm sure I'll get slammed for this but I was sort of disappointed with DOF. The cover looked like Lego's (so UNmetal) and the music didn't evolve to a higher level from SFV and the lyrics took a step back from my age group. It was at that point that I started to realize that the band wasn't going to mature with me (later verified by the Turbo release).
Not that I don't like DOF, but to me it was the first step towards a decline that they didn't really recover from until Painkiller.

Maybe if they had not scared me for life with the video, I could enjoy the song, but the vid is just plain awful! All I think about when I hear that song is how much I can't stand that Vid! I find "Don't Go" with all its strangeness a better video than Freewheel Burning.

Defender's, IMO, is way more commercial. I really don't see where DOTF is a darker album. What songs are you referring to and please don't say The Sentinel, Eat Me Alive or Heavy Duty.

I consider DOTF as the twin of Vengance, but not as good. It was good but not as good as Vengance. I also agree with you that until pankiller came out, they did nothting of note during that time. I like about 2 songs on turbo and about two on Ram it Dowm. Sorry, fans, just how I feel. I was truely dissoulitioned with Ram it Down. Hurt my Metal heart. It was OK, but not what I had come to expect.

The production isn't the best on Defenders but the songs are great, Freewheel Burning is classic JP along with most of the other tracks..'Love Bites', 'Some Heads...' 'Jawbreaker' 'Night Comes Down' and 'Rock Hard Ride Free'. So although its not my favourite Priest album its def up there.
If the next JP album (if there is going to be be one) is as strong as Defenders then i would be well happy. |

I'm sure I'll get slammed for this but I was sort of disappointed with DOF. The cover looked like Lego's (so UNmetal) and the music didn't evolve to a higher level from SFV and the lyrics took a step back from my age group. It was at that point that I started to realize that the band wasn't going to mature with me (later verified by the Turbo release).
Not that I don't like DOF, but to me it was the first step towards a decline that they didn't really recover from until Painkiller.
