If "Worth Fighting For" is "shit" then "Take These Chains" from Screaming For Vengeance and "Desert Plains" from Point Of Entry must be "shit" in your opinion then because Worth Fighting For absolutely "REEKS" of these 2 songs put together. And as far as "Angel" goes...its no different than "Before The Dawn" or "Night Comes Down",I'm not a fan of these ballads but to put them with Poison's Every Rose Has Its Thorn is sure to get a rise out of just about anybody,good one jimmy! lol!! And I can't for the life of me hear anything in Defenders that sounds anything like British Steel part 2?? What? Lochness is totally "lame" but to me Angel Of Retribution still tops Defenders Of The Faith in my book but still cool to read other's opinions.

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.
