Review - :
Although {^Sad Wings of Destiny} wasn't a huge seller, it did land {$Judas Priest} a major-label deal with {@Columbia}, for whom they debuted with the fearlessly experimental {^Sin After Sin}. Retaining the progressive elements of its predecessor, {^Sin After Sin} upped the levels of instrumental technique and melody while incorporating a greater variety of influences. It's possible to hear touches of {$Jimi Hendrix}, {$Queen}, {$Led Zeppelin}, {$Pink Floyd}, and {\Southern rock}, not to mention one of the most effective left-field cover choices in {\metal} history on the {$Joan Baez} tune {&"Diamonds and Rust"} (which became a minor hit in England). As a result, it isn't the most metallic or musically cohesive {$Priest} album, but overall, it's extremely close to the same level of brilliance as most of their '70s output. Every track is worthwhile, although {&"Sinner"} and {&"Dissident Aggressor"} (later covered by {$Slayer}, a real testament to its heaviness) are two particular highlights. [A Japanese version included bonus tracks.] ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
