Following the underwritten, erraticPoint of Entry, Screaming for Vengeance returned Judas Priest to the top of the metal heap, boasting a much more consistent set of songs, highlighted by the monumental You've Got Another Thing Comin'. Some of the bluesier elements ofPoint of Entryare still here, but the heavier moments tend to dominate the album's flavor (particularly the title track); plus, there are arena-ready headbanging anthems like Electric Eye, Bloodstone, and, of course, You've Got Another Thing Comin', the latter two proof that the band really knew how to work a mid-tempo rock groove. Although the sound is commercial, Screaming for Vengeance doesn't feel like it's pandering asPoint of Entrysometimes did; it's a catchy, accessible metal record in the best sense of the description, and it rivalsBritish Steelas Priest's best album of the '80s.
