Evil Fantasies
SUCH an outstanding and under-appreciated track. Hell of a way to close out a truly epic metal album of the 70's.
Fully agreed -an excellent track on my favourite Priest album.

Spent some quality time with my Rising in the East dvd last night.
As Riff yesterday now playing Killing Machine. Great album. Different from Riff don't like Take on the World. My favorite song from this album is Hell Bent For Leather.
I like every song on the album, but Take on the World is probably my least favorite for one reason, the chorus. The intro, the verses, the beat, the guitars... all good early metal. The chorus comes along and it's just this cheesy high school musical type of chorus. Just goofy. Other than that, I love the song.
I feel the same way about United. Great British Steel feel from the intro and through each of the verses. Then the chorus comes along and I'm always like "WTF guys, how did one of the greatest metal bands of all time revert back to this overly cheesy and goofy chorus writing?!?". But like Take on the World, I love every thing else about the song, just not the chorus. I'm pretty sure that United came from the same song writing session that Take on the World came from. Even musically, it sounds like it could have easily been on the Hell Bent For Leather album.
