'''''British Steel''''' is the sixth studio album by Music/JudasPriest, released in 1980. It is generally considered to be their breakthrough album, and is certainly the most popular outside the hardcore Priest fan-base. It includes fan favourites and hits such as "Breaking The Law", "Living After Midnight" and "United".

It is also their first album with drummer Dave Holland, who would turn out to be their first long-term drummer, lasting from 1979 to 1989.

!! Troping After Midnight:

* AmbiguouslyGay: "Grinder" is a perfect example of this, if you think about it enough:
--> ''Off the straight and narrow''
--> ''I won't keep in time''
--> ''Tend to bend the arrow out of line''
*** And of course the chorus...
--> ''Grinder''
--> ''Looking for meat''
--> ''Grinder''
--> ''Wants you to eat!''
* AudienceParticipationSong: "Breaking The Law" is a song in which Halford has the audience sing the chorus for him. Often, "Breaking The Law" is sung ENTIRELY by the public. Case in point, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVeJmQVUzAw this video]].
** Several tracks, including "United" and "Red White And Blue" were written with this purpose in mind.
* FanNickname: The band are often called "Metal Gods" by fans, in reference to their song. Even though said song was about giant robots, the title for many fans reflects the band's genre and how they are revered.
* PatrioticFervor: "Red, White And Blue", a song they recorded but never released except on a remastered version of this album. (Ingeniously, although the song refers to Britain's Union Jack, it could also represent the flag of the United States of America, France, Cuba, or various other countries.) Slightly subverted in that the band's comments in the liner notes pointed out that it was slightly tongue-in-cheek.
* TitleOnlyChorus: "Breaking The Law".
