Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rebounding from a series of commercially focused missteps in the late 1980s, 'Solid Ball of Rock' signaled a formidable return to form for the NWOBHM pioneers. Fueled by the addition of young bassist Nibbs Carter, the record injected renewed aggression and classic riffing back into Saxon's trademark heavy metal sound.
