There was a time a few years back when I really got into some massive New Wave of British Heavy Metal stuff. Obviously Iron Maiden was a focus, but I also was obsessed with finding stuff like Angel Witch, Blitzkrieg, Diamond Head, and others. But I never really got into Saxon for some reason. I decided to take a flyer on an early Saxon album. This album is a tale of two halves. The first half is somewhat mid-paced, radio-friendly hard rock which would not seem out of place on a Def Leppard album. The second half is much harder and faster and is what I was hoping to hear from a NWOBHM band. I still prefer Iron Maiden (of course), Angel Witch, Blitzkrieg, and Diamond Head, but I may have to do some more looking into Saxon.
