Often overlooked by critics, unfairly, in my opinion,
Raise Your Fist built upon the groundwork laid down in the previous album and really nailed the merger of traditional rock with traditional heavy metal that
Alice would return to some years later, while lyrically it covers the usual ground: rebellion, freedom, lust and, of course, murder. The trilogy of songs that close the album, about a mentally disturbed serial killer and his fascination with prostitutes, raise it well above average - they're reason enough to have the album in your collection.
