Never heard Predator but Jugulator is much better than the other 2.

I'm gonna have to go Jugulator. It hasn't aged particularly well but I was very happy with it at the time it was released.

I've still never heard Predator and I thought both X Factor and Angry Machines were blah (that's being kind).

Voted Jugulator.

And I agree about Run Through The Night being one nasty track headbanger

Predator for me.

All of these albums are pretty bad. I guess I'd pick Jugulator only because it has Cathedral Spires and Bullet Train on it and those tracks are very good. Predator is very weak. The X-Factor is a complete disaster and Angry Machines was a poor follow up to the excellent Strange Highways.

Maiden, Priest and Dio all stumbled in exactly the same way - losing direction in the mid-90s and trying to varying degrees to adapt to the times. They all failed spectacularly. Accept is different because Predator was the final album from a band that was falling apart. Their reunion was short-lived and obviously Udo had a successful solo career to go back to.

I think all these albums fall near the bottom of each of these band's discography, but I chose Dio- Angry Machines because I feel that album got better with each spin, not his best album but an interesting album, at least to my ears.

Jugulator

As big a Priest fan as I am, I thought the Ripper era was rather sad. However, I think the Tracy G Dio albums were so under rated, so I went with Angry Machines. Strange Highways was even better, & my favorite Dio release of all time.

I think Jugulator is the stronger release from the list.

X-Factor followed very closely by Jugulator. Never had the Accept album and Angry Machines is my absolutely least favorite of his catalog. Apart from Double Monday, I find it highly forgettable.

Jugulator is the only one on that list that I've heard, but judging from some of the other responses, this poll is like asking which turd is the least stinky.
