Fire power and invincible shield are amazing!

  • @Gregbaltzer

    i read in an interview with K.K. years ago part of his reason for "retiring" from Priest was the frustration he felt over the reception of Nostradomus. He felt in this age people don't sit with albums the way they did when he was growing up. He felt that now music is so easily obtainable that people listen to albums once or twice and then they're on to the next thing. He felt Nostradomus was a great album that wasn't given a chance because of current listening habits. He became very disillusioned by this. I'm guilty of this. There's always albums coming out all the time from bands I like that I get them then shelf them. Part of me is happy that a lot of bands I love have retired, or are near the end of their careers, because it's less albums I need to get.

    Great video, Darcy! I enjoy Maiden from time to time, but I'm a far bigger Priest fan. I'd have this particular contest scored 4-2 in favor of Priest. I'd pick "Angel of Retribution" above "Dance of Death" by a landslide. I like "Dance of Death" quite a bit, but "Angel of Retribution" is in my top 7 Priest albums of all time. I definitely agree with you about "Brave New World" and "A Matter of Life and Death", though! Those two albums win their respective matchups. Rock on!

    Good show Darcy, a fav topic for me. I have been a fan of Judas Priest since 1980 when I was 14 and I heard Living After Midnight and then went out and bought British Steel and Stained Class and they have been in my top two bands ever since. I discovered Iron Maiden with Number of the Beast in 1982 and they have been my other favourite band for the past 4 decades. Brave New World is probably Iron Maiden's best album outside of the classic 1980s records and the last few Judas priest albums have been their best since Painkiller. Having said all that, it leads me to conclude that Judas Priest have had the better run of records over the past 25 Years although I think Brave New World is probably the best of either bands records since 2000.

    I have to agree that Judas Priest has made the heavy metal album of the year with "Invincible Shield." I know that "Nostredamus" gets a lot of criticism, but Halford's voice on that release was just amazing. It was like a heavy metal Pink Floyd concept that most Priest fans did not quite accept. I think Maiden's "Senjutsu" is mellow, but the playing is still first rate.

    @@darcysixstringsninelives3493 The "Nostradamus" project was ambitious in scope, but misunderstood by a lot of Priest fans. Personally, I was blown away, especially with Rob Halford's vocals. He even sang a little in Italian. The guitar work is superb with an album concept of mellow passages through out, a kind of a strange return of the "Sad Wings of Destiny" era. I can understand why it would be ranked last in their catalog, but it is still great to me. I have always believed that Maiden and Priest compete with each other, creatively.

I also put Brave New World over Demolition, and Brave New World is their best since reuniting, but Senjitzu is my #2, I need to revisit both bands for the 2003-2010 material, a project for this week!!

My only difference in Round 2 is Dance of the Death over Firepower! I am headed to a road trip show tomorrow night to see BOC with a fellow Maiden + Priest fan.

    Maiden is my favorite band but Priest ofc are great as well and Invincible Shield is a fantastic album. Probably my favorite of theirs since the 80’s👌🏽 I think what it boils down to is whether you prefer more pure unadulterated heavy metal with high pitch vocals or more adventurous theatrical heavy metal with operatic vocals. Personally I have to go with Maiden here all day but the last 3 Priest albums have been really solid fs and I respect them a lot. Both great bands!🤘🏽

    Great video, I would have ranked them like you did except for ”TFF” and ”ROS”, where I would rank Maiden ahead of Priest. It would have been interesting to compare the Saxon albums released around the same years with Maiden and Priest. Under the same timeperiod they have released 10 albums, so some of the Priest and Maiden albums would have to be compared to two of Saxons albums. Here is my take on it, where the first one mentioned is the best in my opinion: 2000-2001: Brave New World/Killing Ground/Demolition 2003-2005: Lionheart/Dance Of Death/Angel Of Retribution 2006-2009: A Matter Of Life And Death/The Inner Sanctum/Into The Labyrinth/Nostradamus 2010-2014: Sacrifice/The Final Frontier/Redeemer Of Souls/Call To Arms 2015-2018: Thunderbolt/Firepower/Battering Ram/The Book Of Souls 2021-2024: Invincible Shield/Hell, Fire And Damnation/Senjutsu/Carpe Diem Sorry for the long post.😅Take care Darcy!🤘

    I've always been a bigger Iron Maiden fan, but the last couple of albums are their weakest for me. Senjitsu is better then Book of Snores. I can't believe it's 5 years already! Maiden had a really good 4 album run that I really enjoyed. Priest's Angel of Retribution was a 1/2 great album for me. Nostradomus is a put it on and let it play in the back ground album. I don't dislike it, I just don't get excited for it. Redeemer is an okay album. Rob feels more restrained on this album. Firepower is good, and would be great be great for me if it was around 40-45 minutes. I just get tired of listening to albums that go on too long. Maiden is the winner for me

    Love this video. The only disagreement I would have is Nostradamus over a matter of life and death .. which I guess would pin Nostradamus against the new priest and the new priest would win that round. Brave new world is also my favorite modern era maiden record. I enjoy a matter of life and death but honestly I cannot stand the production on it. It’s absolutely lifeless to me. But the songs are great.. stay well brother!! 🤟🤟

    Great video! Maiden's Piece of Mind was my introduction to them in 1983 so was Priest's Defenders of the Faith in 1984. Head to head: Brave New World all week long. Dance of Death over Angel..., I really really like Nostradamus so it's a tie for me against AMOLAD. The Final Frontier ahead of Redeemer of Souls, Firepower is light years ahead of Book and Souls, and Senjutsu is in a league on its own compared to Invincible Shield (and IS is very very good).

  • 4 ай бұрын

    Do you mean with In the league of its own its boring with few exceptions beyond possible? Neverending oh-ho-ho-ho's by Bruce? Guitars mimicking vocal line? Then I have to agree mate🙂 Sry for being sarcastic, but I couldn't resist. That urge was too strong.

    I would have to go with maiden love both bands but always preferred maiden. Plus I think maidens albums since 2000 are mostly strong, love brave New world, dance of death has a few great songs but production is very muddy, amolad is a great album, book of souls not my favorite a lot of filler, love sinjitsu I think it's a great atmospheric album kind of like X factor which I always liked. Final frontier I don't like. I would definitely prefer redeemer of souls over Final frontier. And maybe firepower over book of souls so probably 4-2 to maiden.

    None of the Maiden albums from this period really impressed me all that much. I heard each of them when they came out and pretty much forgot about them, except for Wicker Man, which I still really like. I need to go back and listen to all of them again. As for Priest, I actually liked Nostradamus quite a bit, but they could have left off about half of it and it would have been much better. Firepower blew me away when I heard it, but for me, Invincible Shield is easily the best thing they've done since the 80s. Angel of Retribution and Demolition each have some good stuff, but not their best. I didn't care for Redeemer of Souls, but I think the production there was the problem. The whole album just sounds muted to me. It seems they just sucked the heaviness right out of all the songs on that one.

    Judas Priest hit the finish line before Iron Maiden got past the starting gate on this one. Maiden are a little too prog for my tastes nowadays. I know many die-hard Maidenites take exception to this, but since I've been a fan since 1981, I've witnessed the decline first hand. JP has had many winners in their latter career. IM, not so much.
