I have to agree with JimmyJames, Priest has tons of gay "under-tones" (or is it over-tones?) in al LOT of their songs.
TRUE they are written for both sexes, but with a "slant" toward the gay preference.
Not sure about Starbreak.....though it would surprise me.
TONS of songs, just read the lyrics while listening and pretend you are Rob writing.

All the references to cruising, hand holding, stealing hearts and getting high aside that's basically what it's about. Whether or not you agree I'm glad that comment sparked some debate.
As for the album cover I'm surprised that the dark figure hasn't fallen over leaning on that angle and I love how the female figure at the front appears to be naked apart from her high heels. |

I don't think I've actually answered the question about Priests most underrated album. In some respects I think Point of Entry is underrated, people think that album is full of Don't Go type songs (incidentally I like that song, it makes me laugh hehe) but it has some great songs on it, Heading out to the Highway, Solar Angels, Desert Plains etc. So in a way it is terribly underrated.

Pick one GD! I know I'd love to hear a bunch of that Record. That is why I have yet to put in a one song off each album request, probably never will. I just hope some rare ones creep in.

I agree Becks. Actually when I found out Jawbreaker was what it was, I was surprised as it works as a song without that angle. I do think almost all of Rob's lyrics are multilayered, and can work for anyone. That is what makes a classic song.

As a whole work I do like Point of Entry, minus about at least 3 songs. The kick ass songs are worth the lameness though.

I think they're both pretty moody albums, I mean SWOD has VOC, Dreamer Deceiver, Genocide etc, and SAS has Sinner, Dissident Aggresso and Hear Come the Tears, but to me Starbreaker really ups the mood of that album a bit. But overall, I can't decide which is moodier LOL!

She is the unknown, a flicker of light. The maker is there, she will get her wish, and she will be a sinner when all is said and done. My opinion of a very classic artwork. Only the artist could tell us why he chose to portray the album in such a matter.

Not to mention the fact that Rob is really into Science Fiction. That's what I get from the song too, it's science fiction about a "savior" that will take us to paradise (or looking at it now, I suppose it could be about drugs?). And I agree completely Becks, just because Rob is gay doesn't mean every song he writes has homosexual undertones..... I'm really sick of fans thinking every song is gay now that Rob came out. Before no one ever thought they were, but now some people see it in every song. And even if it is, WHO CARES???

Yeah many people think Rob is the only one who write lyrics,and he does 80% of them but in the past Glenn and K.K. did contribute to some,and as we all know almost all tracks are Halford/Downing/Tipton so I highly doubt that K.K. and Glenn would let a song get through being about homosexuality,besides Rob already said all Priest lyrics are not about homosexuality.....maybe "Raw Deal" from Sin After Sin has some hints in it,but thats few and far between though,same with Evil Fantasies too perhaps but I'm just speculating....Starbreaker definately has nothing to do with homosexuality,if it did I'd be utterly shocked because the lyrics have nothing to do with any of this.

Not to mention the fact that Rob is really into Science Fiction. That's what I get from the song too, it's science fiction about a "savior" that will take us to paradise (or looking at it now, I suppose it could be about drugs?). And I agree completely Becks, just because Rob is gay doesn't mean every song he writes has homosexual undertones..... I'm really sick of fans thinking every song is gay now that Rob came out. Before no one ever thought they were, but now some people see it in every song. And even if it is, WHO CARES???

Bear in mind I am a very literal person, I don't read undertones very well, but in saying that I find it very hard on reading the lyrics to pick up any gay undertone. Just cos Rob is gay doesn't mean every crazy Priest song is about gay stuff LOL.

It's about fate interceding told in a grand way in my opinion. I love the lyrics, and no doubt they did feel like it only comes once a lifetime.

Not to mention the fact that Rob is really into Science Fiction. That's what I get from the song too, it's science fiction about a "savior" that will take us to paradise (or looking at it now, I suppose it could be about drugs?). And I agree completely Becks, just because Rob is gay doesn't mean every song he writes has homosexual undertones..... I'm really sick of fans thinking every song is gay now that Rob came out. Before no one ever thought they were, but now some people see it in every song. And even if it is, WHO CARES???

To me it's a typical Priest made up character song, some dude called Starbreaker taking people away to space or something 'star voyage to a new world, lightyear miles away' etc.
Bear in mind I am a very literal person, I don't read undertones very well, but in saying that I find it very hard on reading the lyrics to pick up any gay undertone. Just cos Rob is gay doesn't mean every crazy Priest song is about gay stuff LOL.

You never made that connection because that is NOT what the song is about Becks. JJ's completely off on this one. And I really hope they play Starbreaker with an extended drum solo on the Epitaph tour, that would totally kick ass!!!
