Review - :
Having recaptured their heavyweight status with {^Screaming for Vengeance}, {$Judas Priest} stuck with their successful formula for the follow-up, {^Defenders of the Faith}. Overall, it's a solidly constructed, unapologetically commercial metal record, and it doesn't feel underdeveloped as {^Point of Entry} sometimes did. It isn't quite up to the level of {^British Steel} or {^Screaming for Vengeance}, partly because (unlike those two) it lacks a truly standout single, and partly because of a few lowest-common-denominator moments. Still, it's far from a bad entry in {$Priest}'s '80s arena-metal period, and it remains a favorite among many fans who prefer those recordings to the band's '70s work. [The Holland edition features bonus tracks.] ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
