5 stars Not the first rock opera ever, and not the last but...Possibly the best rock opera ever made (sorry Tommy). This work has not a dull moment or a poor performance. Ian Gillian and Murray Head make this a pleasure to listen to. Their voices seem tailor made for Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot. I have heard some other stage and movie versions of this but none hold a candle to the original and best. There are some over-the-top perfectly wonderful tracks such as "Heaven on their Minds" and "Trial Before Pilate", but they only stand out from the rest barely- the rest is excellent. I have had a love affair with this album since I was a youngster, and still play it at least once a month. AND still sing along! 5 stars.
