Wheels of Steel<\/strong> is the second studio album by the English heavy metal band Saxon. It was released in 1980 and reached Platinum status in the UK. The album received very positive reviews by critics and is today regarded as being a classic metal album helping to define the genre. Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic lists the album as “topping the heap of essential Saxon albums, pretty much hand in hand with its immediate successors, Strong Arm of the Law and Denim and Leather,… effectively setting the template for the band’s most successful efforts”. Canadian reviewer Martin Popoff regards Wheels of Steel<\/strong> as a “qualified classic”and “one of really two or three of (NWOBHM) building blocks”; it is “a record on a mission, willing to take responsibility as spokesvinyl for legions of English punters with a thirst for regular metal guys”. Sputnikmusic’s Mike Stagno praises “the solid, consistent rhythms that produce the riffy, yet accessible tunes”and Biff Byford’s “powerful singing”, which make Wheels of Steel<\/strong> “perhaps not one of metal’s best albums”, but “still a very worthwhile album.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
