The reviewer of 'The Miracle' (who was spot on IMO) was comparing it to 'Jugulator' more as each band's 13th studio album, just as a reference, and seemed to be putting down the Judas Priest effort.

Just noticed the inner cover pictures were from Kalamazoo' Wings Stadium of all places (the K-Wing banner hangs between the USA and Canadian flags).  Liner notes mention it being from the Jan 77 show.  I could have been any one of the long hairs in attendance. 

Good memories.[/QUOTE] I understand he was putting down the priest album,  but it's still not comparable....I'm a pretty big priest fan,  and i could tell you listening to Jugulator I felt I was regressing as a person.  When I was 12 years old I might have liked though.  The miracle did have it's moments,  the title track was good dispite the lryics, which I admit were a bit of a mess.  Breakthru, was it all worth it?......Scandal.  Of course we're not gonna agree with every review of every album.
