10. Absolute classic.

 

[Big Ears]

I gave it 6 for being a good album, although 747 (Strangers in the Night) is close to being a great track. The problem I have with Saxon is that they are too derivative. The spin-off Oliver-Dawson band, to their credit, tried to move away from predictabilty, but their singers did not fit. On a positive note, Saxon cannot be faulted for attitude and have always kept to their principles. Strong Arm of the Law remains one their best albums (I do not think I have heard the entire catalogue) and is one of the most enduring NWOBHM releases.

 

[Riff Raff]

Classic in my book.

 

[Sharp Dressed Man]

I'm with LG on this one. I'm a huge fan of Saxon and there's not a Saxon album I dislike, although a couple of them are weaker than their general discography. As for "Wheels of Steel" it's somewhere between 8 and 9 for me. I guess 8,5 then.

 

[Grimmlord Blakk]

I rate it a classic in every sense. I love the Strong arm of the law album too and that too is a 10 classic
