3.0 out of 5 stars good but all previouly released, June 14, 2000

This review is from: Genocide (Audio CD)

would be a 4 star review but everything has been released over and over again. Basically "Genocide" is the first 2 Judas Priest albums (Rocka Rolla & Sad Wings of Destiny)on a 2 CD set. it has a bonus track "Diamonds And Rust" which is a different version than on "Sin After Sin" but it is the same as on "Hero Hero" which was another collection of the first 2 albums released in 84. so if you are a Priest fan and don't already have the first 2 albums, this is a good deal because its cheaper than buying them separetly. If you already have the songs, there is nothing new.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good sounding, economical release that is poorly packaged., September 24, 2005

This is a combined reissue of Judas Priest's first two albums, Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings Of Destiny. If you already have those two albums, you don't need this one.

The music on here is very good. Do not believe other reviewers who claim that the sound quality on this release is bad. It is as good as it gets.

The real issue is the packaging. None of the artwork is included from the original albums, which is good in case of Rocka Rolla, but bad in the case of Sad Wings Of Destiny. Furthermore, the photographs included in the booklet and on the back cover are from the late 80s, even though the music is from 1974-1976. There is, also, a brief biography in the booklet, the accuracy of which has been called into question.

There are many repackages of this material on the market and none of the money actually goes to the band, so it really doesn't matter which version you get. If you want the all of the music from this era in an inexpensive package and really don't care about the artwork, then this is the one to get. Otherwise, buy the original albums separately.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it--You are getting ripped off!!!!, December 2, 2004

This is an attemp by Gull records to cash in on the Judas Priest name. This album and Hero, Hero are unauthorized, substandard reissues of the first two Judas Priest albums Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings Of Destiny. The sound Quality sucks and there is no new material on these that you won't get on the actual albums, which are still available through Cdnow/Amazon.
Support Judas Priest, the best heavy metal band of all time, and don't waste your money on this crap. Buy the real thing
Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings Of Destiny.
