Less beautiful than their previous albums, but still a hilarious and relentless wall of Heavy Metal/Hard Rock that's engaging and just the right amount of flashy. I still like them, there's not much to say. Here, the Judas are in a period where their seeds have started to bear fruit (in 1980, there’s the debut of the Maiden, the most dignified among their offspring and stepchildren, probably), but the stamp they put on British Steel is, rightly so, hard, granite-like, and with little room for refinements. In its genre, the album is excellent; among all, I must mention the absolutely irresistible riff of "Breaking the Law."
