Review - :
A sketchy and underfocused debut, {^Rocka Rolla} nonetheless begins to delineate the musical territory {$Judas Priest} would explore over the remainder of the decade: frighteningly dark in its effect, tight in its grooves, and capable of expanding to epic song lengths. On the other hand, {^Rocka Rolla} is also murkier, less precise and powerful in its riff attack, and more {\blues}-based; the stylistic debts to {$Black Sabbath} and {$Deep Purple} are obvious at this juncture, although they would become much less apparent on subsequent releases. The compositions alternate between short songs and extended suites; some are decent, but overall they don't establish a real direction and tend to plod aimlessly in many of the longer pieces. Mostly a curiosity for hardcore fans, {^Rocka Rolla} definitely hints at {$Judas Priest}'s potential and originality, but doesn't always suggest the quantum leap in vision that would occur with their very next record. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
