This review is from: Heavy Thoughts (Audio CD)

Co-founder and pre-Rob Halford - Judas Priest vocalist and front man. Almost worth his weight in gold. Almost as fantastic as this title's follow-up 'Demon Deceiver... Plus' (see my review). Tunes that I was most getting into were the head-banging title track "Heavy Thoughts", the heavy-duty "When Love Steals The Night", "A Void To Avoid" (also shows up on the previously mentioned 'Demon Deceiver... Plus' CD), "Little Wild Child" and the in-your-face "Caviar And Meths" (restored to it's original seven-minute length - wasn't this song initially on the Priest 'Rocka Rolla' lp?). Also thought Atkins did a fine job of covering the Everly Brothers song "Price Of Love". Not every heavy metal / hard rock musician is able to pull that off.
