Cool Darth,great to hear!   You should check out "Lionheart"  2004.In my personal opinion,this is Saxon's best LP. What a gem.

Hey J.D., I listened to Inner Sanctum a couple of times now and I think it was wind noise (not to mention that I listened when I was more awake).  Good CD.  
I already have a bunch of Saxon tunes on my laptop (Denim & Leather, Princess of the Night, Motorcycle Man, Crusader, Heavy Metal Thunder, and 747 (Strangers in the Night to name a few).  I'll probably search through iTunes and see what else is there.

Don't get me wrong - Saxon rock!, but just listened to Freedom Call - Tears Of Taragon...Biff does the narrative on it..probably the worst narrative in metal...ever!  (Great band btw..).

My car stereo is fine.  Listened to Powerslave on the way to work this morning.  Maybe wind noise is muting Biff's vocals?  Time will tell as I intend to rip the CD to my iTunes this afternoon.  I do have a bunch of Saxon tunes on my laptop already, and I am looking to add more.  I'll have to PM you later with what I've got already.

Wow really? Are you sure its not the stereo your listening to it on? Because when I listen to it,his vocals are perfectly clear,the mix is right on how it should be..hum...not sure what to think about that one....not hearing what your hearing but its cool that you got a Saxon CD. 

The band has 18 studio albums and 12 of them are jewels.  The other 6 LPs...."Crusader"...the opening song is a great Saxon track by all means and album cover but the rest of the album is not that great.
Innocence Is No Excuse album.(1985)...."Rock The Nations".(1986)....and Destiny(1988) albums are not good at all,mid 80's hair band type of B.S.   

1990 "Solid Ball Of Rock" has a couple of good tunes but the other half is unworthy songs....same goes for the next album 1992 "Forever Free"...half of it is good,the other half is not.  Saxon's first 5 albums are good with only maybe 1 or 2 songs on each that is not(8 songs out of 10 is not bad) and Saxon's last 7 studio albums are excellent,again with maybe an exception of 1 or 2 songs  that are not up to the quality as the rest of the album,but again if an album has 10 or 11 tracks on it and you don't like 2 of them,thats still an albums worth of good material.That being said,I would recommend 12 Saxon LPs to Saxon fans.

1979 'Saxon"
1980 "Wheels Of Steel"
1981  Strong Arm Of The Law"
1981" Denim & Leather"
1983 "Power & The Glory"

1995 "Dogs Of War"
1997" Unleash The Beast"
1999 "Metalhead"
2001 "Killing Ground"
2004 "Lionheart"(Saxon's best record!)
2007 "The Inner Sanctum"
2009 "Into The labyrinth"

I bought my first Saxon CD over the weekend...The Inner Sanctum.  Musically brilliant, but it's difficult to hear Biff's vocals over the sonic speed at which they're playing.  For that reason alone, I am slightly underwhelmed by this disc.

SAXON     2009

Judas Priest will always be the masters,but Saxon are truly the most underrated band in the world of heavy metal.
They are buried underneath Judas Priest Iron maiden and Motorhead in the U.K. They should have Iron maiden's popularity because Saxon's last 7 studio albums blows away Iron Maiden's last 9 studio albums by far.

Yes Hellrider my old friend,THE PRIESTBEAST are the Master of all metal big tall short and small. They are the reason for heavy metal and we are the soldiers!! You put us fans together with the masters of metal its like putting together a transformer!!
