Classic Gem.......2006-12-10

If you are in the mood to listen to good metal get this CD. I remember having this album on tape as a teen. What drew me to this album was the cover, never heard anything at all from this band. Boy, was I surprise. This is a CD that will grow on you. Favorite tracks. "Little Miss. Death.", "Runaway". Great vocals, great playing. Recapture your youth, go ahead and pick this album up.

Great Power Metal Album.......2006-03-25

"The Privilege of Power", 1990 second album with Tony Moore on lead vocal, Don Vanstavern bass, Bobby Jarzombek drums and, of course, Mark Reale on guitars. This one continues the fast & furious thunderous of ThunderSteel, with an excellent guitar work. One of my favorites is "Dance of Death" which starts with a folk indu kind of music and then change into a pure power metal. "On your Knees", "Storming The gates of Hell" and "Black leather" are fast tempo one. There is no filler on this one. I recommend this one for any power metal fan along with ThunderSteel.

Refused.......2006-02-25

I refused this product because you send me wrongly two times the same "Privilege of power" CD at the same date.
You have to pay me back now.

CLASSIC POWER METAL.......2003-12-03

This is a real classic from these guys , and the guitars are thunderous only to be second to the drumming. If one has to buy only one RIOT album then this should be it. Go ahead and taste true metal.

A privilege, indeed!.......2006-04-10

Like Queensr?che's 1988 prog metal masterpiece Operation: Mindcrime, Riot's Privilege of Power works off of fear, paranoia, and conspiracy, employing ten complex tracks that work as a single unit. Where Mindcrime stuck to a straight narrative, working every Pink Floyd-ism it could into its disillusioned protagonist, Power takes a broader, less specific approach to its subject. The atmospheric snippets that tuck-point each song into place help maintain a general air of unease, eventually giving way to an ambiguous but entertaining revolution that lacks Queensr?che's self-importance. Lyrically, the group does little to deviate from obvious metaphor and "Viking" simplicity - in "metalspeak" something as mundane as an airplane ride ("Metal Soldiers") is described by shouting "We climb aboard the eagle made of steel" followed by a four-octave scream - but "true blue" fans of heavy metal know the genre's scholarly limitations, and revel in its face-value descriptions of rebellion and honor. The bizarre use of a horn section (keyboards?) on tracks like "On Your Knees" and "Killer" actually works, adding a swaggering charm to the already hook-laden tunes. The ferocious "Dance of Death" brings to mind classic Judas Priest and features brutal guitar work by guitarist/songwriter Mark Reale - he really is remarkable - and elements of Iron Maiden run rampant throughout the rousing "Storming the Gates of Hell." The vocals are outstanding and the slight melodic variation is infectious.
