Out of the horizon, came Judas Priest's big hit album. Of course, there was "Rocka Rolla" which was their first album ever, but this album set the stage for more to come. With songs that were one hit wonders like Victim Of Changes (

If you are a true metal, or even rock and roll fan, and believe you have heard the 70's, and you haven't listened to this album: You're obviously lying through your teeth. You must have this album if you wish to truly know music
Say what you want, but admit this: This is one album that is a must have in every CD collection
