I've been outta the loop for the past decade plus, I wasn't even aware of this album 'til I saw it here - thanks eMusic! Their was a time I could say "I have every album JP put out," but that was ages ago and it's a lot of fun to jump back-in and start again! Angel of Retribution is definitely rockin' and definately Priest at their best! They're still rockin' after 3 decades and it's all good! M. (P.S.@ Kats0731 - I was worried too, esp. the 13 min. song - so happy w/ the album + it doesn't even seem like 13 min!)
I could not agree with EMUSIC-00C521E2 more. The return of Rob Halford to KK, Glen, and co. surpassed my expectations in every way. From the blistering "Judas Rising" to the thoughtful "Eulogy" this album does not disappoint. Lyrically, one of the best Priest albums as well. I was a little worried when I saw a 13min+ "Lochness," but it is a great song! Thanks, Priest! This is a must-have.
Makes Maiden, Iced Earth, Celtic Frost and others reunions and comebacks pale in comparison. Picks up right where Painkiller left off and does not dissapoint. The title track is "HUGE" featuring one of the best drum fills and metal screams EVER. Download it NOW!
