Judas Priest
|
| 'Stained Class' is the fourth studio album by Judas Priest. It is the first of three Judas Priest albums recorded with drummer Les Binks, as well as the first to feature the band's now well-known logo in the artwork. Musically it is considered the album on which the band honed many of the elements of their hard-edged signature sound, dispensing with most of the progressive and blues rock overtones and softer ballads of previous efforts. The album features such notable tracks as 'Exciter', considered an early precursor to speed metal and thrash metal, and a cover version of 'Better By You, Better Than Me' by Spooky Tooth, which became the subject of an infamous civil suit in 1990 which alleged the song subliminally influenced two teenaged boys to make a suicide pact. Upon release it was a modest commercial success, reaching number 27 on the U.K. Albums Chart and becoming the band's first album to enter the U.S. Billboard 200; it was eventually certified gold in the latter country. Retrospectively, it is regarded by some as one of the most important and influential albums in the development of heavy metal and one of Judas Priest's best records. | |
