Fight was a favorite of mine, to me it sounded like Judas Priest on steroids. The band was even heavier sounding live. I caught them at Harpo's Concert Theatre in Detroit, Michigan (a pit of a concert theater actually). There are some that say Rob Halford's solo material was far away from the Metal sounds of Judas Priest. The only album not in the same formula as Priest was 2wo. 2wo was an Industrial-Metal Project with John5 on guitar and Trent Resner of Nine Inch Nails producing. I actually looked forward to that project, because an Industial-Metal band with Rob Halford screaming over it sounded like an interesting proposition. The fact is that Rob actually under sang the songs, while Resner's production removed the balls from the music. The result was an unvaried sounding record that sounded as if the singer could really give a shit about the songs. I don't listen to it very often but it still gets some play.
