| I knew I'd get a little heat for it, but I just never liked the song. The vid sucked. I really did not like it. Sorry, but that is my opinion on that song. |

Oh, Spa. You were NOT a video game junkie. 16 bit? While the controls for Missle Command were wrong "The End" was classic. For shame....

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.

yeah, I know. gets old. that and scorpions. every other song on bone or hair nation seems to be one or the other.
heck makes eme wish for more poison. HA!
I once heard all the whole SFV album on the radio, our local rock station used to play a whole album at midnight. but other than that, the once a month obligatory priest on the radio is all you get here. confined to the base three songs.
probably why I dont listen.

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.

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.

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 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 on "Screaming " was mind blowing. The record was a fine representation of Heavy Guitar Music. Any music fan Loved the Guitar sounds of "screaming. DOTF let me down at first. I thought the guitar sound was not as good. To much Low end. IMO. It took i little time but i love the power of the songs. I thought the Riffage was progressively superior to "Screaming". I love th Lyrics of Defenders. Live Defenders songs are Unstoppable.

I've thought the same thing... Defenders flows with no hesitation and keeps chuggin' on heavier and heavier. Screaming started strong and ended strong, but the middle was kind of missing something, the something that Defenders kept and should have been bigger than Screaming.

I agree. Turbo and Ram It Down were very disappointing, esp. Ram It Down. The one thing that sent it into a nosedive was the use of a drum machine. I've always wondered how it would've turned out with Scott Travis on drum duty! I'm sure everyone agree's that Painkiller sent them back on the right path.

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.

With an open mind I can see where you're coming from.

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.
