"Respected American writer Bryan Reesman has put together a
lengthy essay on the band that highlights their craft and ingenuity,
to complement the 65 tracks of music." - Classic Rock
"The booklet is highly pro, with lots of rare shots, and a
comprehensive, well-researched band history from Reesman, one of the
premier rock journos in the biz." -- Martin Popoff, Hard Radio
"Metalogy also features a terrific book, stuffed with lots
of previously unseen photos, extensive and serviceable liner notes.and
a handy timeline." - Blabbermouth.com
"Priest were always more science fiction than hellbound, and
this remarkable retrospective does a lot to dispel the P.M.R.C. accusations
of 'deviltry' and suicide-enabling that they suffered in the '80s.
The accompanying booklet tells a different story, one that concerns
five young men from an industrial town in England, who, like Black
Sabbath before them, wrote and played in a style that reflected what
they saw when they looked out their windows: smoke, rain, and an endless
sea of metal." - All-Music Guide
"Also included is an extensive book featuring a sweeping biography
and comprehensive timeline written by Metal Edge contributor Bryan
Reesman." - Metal Edge
"I'm sure even the most diehard Priest fan will discover a
fact or two here that they never knew." - Metal Dreams
"...cool liner notes and photos." - Metal Forever.com
"...a killer booklet with a complete discography, notes, pictures,
and commentary." - Edge Magazine Online

a true metal fan, and a true Priest fan." - Judas-Priest.com
(fan site)
"Last but not least, the 64 page paperback (should have been
hardcover) book loaded with beautiful rare and never before seen photos
is included. The history is pretty much well known, and although naturally
a bit biased, is more objective than I would expect." - Encyclopaedia
Metallum
"Inside the box is a kick ass color booklet that chronicles
in both pictures and words the career of one of the greatest metal
bands ever." - Abrasive Rock.com
"The booklet has some very cool rare pics as well as familiar
photos, but it's put together in a very nice theme and look. The great
Bryan Reesman does the HELL BENT FOREVER liner notes." - Judas
Priest Info Pages
Customer reviews from Amazon.com:
"The booklet included is well thought out and really helps
illustrate why JP was as influential as it was." - Bardo Invictus
"The book that comes with the package is beautiful to look
at and informative, much better than that lame Behind The Music episode
that VH-1 slapped together." - Michael T. Bane
"A nice surprise is the lengthy color booklet with photographs
spanning the career of the band and a well-written history and recording
timeline of Priest. Most of the press releases and reviews I have
read don't mention the booklet." - Kyle Vraa

very informative and had more unreleased pictures in it than the remastered
CD's did." - Typeonegmarshalledu
