For a band that invented heavy metal as we know it, Judas Priest had a tendency to gradually fall behind the trend curve over their career. Even the acclaimed Painkiller, which defined power metal, was Priest's attempt at keeping up with the heavier genres of thrash and groove metal, and their inability to quite get there made for a happy accident.

Judas Priest fans expecting former lead singer Rob Halford to unleash a new extreme-metal band (like his post- Priest project Fight ) will be disappointed with his new outfit, Two. Although Two does inherit some of Priest's metal riffs and overall power, this is an almost completely electronic affair. Halford's vocals are still unmistakable, but there's less high-pitched shrieking (i.e., the Priest album Painkiller) and more of the singing/talking/screaming style that the techno genre demands. Two also tackle Tool's demented alternative, evidenced in the near progressive track "Stutter Kiss" (with elements of latter-day David Bowie added as well). The overtly melodic "Water's Leaking" is musical territory that Judas Priest would never have permitted Halford to explore, yet "Leave Me Alone" sounds an awful lot like electro- Priest . Although many techno fans will automatically see the album's opening "I Am a Pig" and think of Nine Inch Nails' Downward Spiral (which included the titles "Piggy" and "March of the Pigs"), Two's debut Voyeurs is a much more straightforward album.

Review Summary: 2wo isn't necessarily misunderstood but it is a fascinating case study.
Good call for a review, I missed this album when it was released.

It was dismissed by metalheads back in the day, while ignored by the '90s mainstream music outlets.
I don't really get the whole "industrial doesn't mesh with metal" thing. Industrial music has always had a very metallic and riff-driven feel to it, seems strange that metalheads of the day (and today?) would be opposed to this shift in sound.

Good review though, your writing makes for a very fluid and wistful read! I admittedly never bothered with this one, but Halford is one of my all-time fav musicians, so I really should. Loving all the Judas Priest related conversation and reviews that have been popping up lately, Firepower's got people thinking "Priest!" and it's awesome!
