My friend burned and mailed me this album just a couple days ago. What's the overall consensus on it?

I liked it. It had some lame parts, but for the most part it kicked ass. Very memorable album for Priest.

For me a miss. Loch Ness is one of the worst songs of Judas of all times, and overall it's a mediocre album, not worthy of the quality one might expect of Judas. Saying I find Ram it dawn a better album, I'm saying all.

Amazing hit. Lochness kind of sucks, but besides that its Judas Fucking Priest, all the way.

Ive heard Painkiller and this one so far of JP and of course, random songs from other albums, but not whole albums.

I found AoR to be a solid slab of metal. If it didnt cost almost 30 dollars for the damn thing here I would own it by now.

I definately need to get more JP. My friend showed me some of their newest DVD and it was fucking awesome.

Anyways, HIT!

A definite hit! I love Hellrider, Deal with the Devil, Judas Rising, and Demonizer.

Oh 600 posts! Oh shit!

It's a very good summary of Judas Priest so far, as it contains elements from their most classic albums. Not the best priest album in terms of ingenuity but pretty damn good!

A nice trip through Priest's musical history. A hit, and a very good reunion album. Judas Rising, Deal With The Devil, Worth Fighting For, Demonizer, Angel and Hellrider are all great songs. Eulogy is cool but too short, Wheels Of Fire is decent and Revolution I can't stand. Loch Ness gets mixed reactions I see, I for one don't really like it. Overall, it's a good album.


But now I'm anxious about the Nostradamus project.

A Hit

I dont know how anyone could think it is a miss. Halford's back, and there are some great songs on here including Worth Fighting For, Hellrider, Deal With The Devil, Demonizer and Wheels Of Fire.

The only truely bad song on this album is the awful Lochness.....god, so boring and lame :zzz:
