"I am very surprised by the great quality on this CD. It's not perfect but it's up there and most of them certainly honor Judas Priest. Gamma Ray's versions of "Exciter" and "Victim of Changes" almost rival that of Priest (although Ralf Scheepers should've done vocals on Victim, but oh well). Also good are "Bloodstone" by the excellent Stratovarius, "Beyond the Realms of Death" by Blind Guardian, and "Nightcrawler" by Radakka, which is the best one here in my opinion. The only ones that disappointed me were Angra's version of "Painkiller" and U.D.O.'s god-awful version of "Metal Gods." Otherwise, you've got one of the best tribute albums out there! Now I have to find the first volume..."

"Angra's cover of Painkiller is brilliant... Blind Guardian's version of BTOD sounds a bit forced... but it isn't bad at all, Gamma Ray provides the best songs in the Album though..."
