Defenders is more like British Steel part two. It has a darker feel than SFV. SFV is a very american sounding album whereas BS and DOTF sound english. AOR is ok. Judas Rising is as good as anything Priest have brought out. Worth Fighting For is shit, cheesy crap aimed at the american market. Same with Angel, piss weak with lyrical themes that have appeared before in Priest songs, just illustrates a lack of ideas. Angel is the obligatory ballad on the album, Poison have Every Rose Has It's Thorn, Priest have Angel. Lochness is just ridiculous, maybe they could write a song about a sasquatch on their next album. The rest of the album is ok but not spectacular. Painkiller is insane, every song a cracker, no filler, no cheese, no ballads, better than BS, SFV and DOTF. Only one that comes close to it would be Stained Class as far as being an uncompromising masterpiece.
