They haven't written a note of decent music since Painkiller.
Absolute bollocks, but that's not to say they've done too well 'overall' since then either.
I have no expectations, and call me a whiny bastard if you'd like, but I find the album title to be utter shite. Somewhat fine for a song title, but an album title? Come off it.

It's no worse than Painkiller, if you ask me. Certainly better than Jugulator or fucking Demolition (which is the worst pile of shite they ever released). That fragment of music sounded much more like it. I've only liked a handful of songs off the 'return of Halford' albums so I've low expectations. That being said I'd love to think Priest still had one total arse-kicker left in them. Maybe this could be it?
Sol's cautious optimism is probably the only fair way to approach this record. Yes they have been mostly miss since Painkiller, so a degree of skepticism is justified, but they might still have some quality left in them.
Since it could possibly be their last album, we should just hope for the best. I'd love to see them bow out on a respectable note.
I liked Redeemer, but it was terribly spotty and the sound wasn't good. Nostradamus was a mess. The Ripper albums were forgettable. AOR Is pretty damn good, but it's also an anomaly in their post-Painkiller output.
If the new album is on the level of AOR or at least close I'll be happy.

This.
AOR is their only decent release since Painkiller. A good, if unspectacular album, it has some absolute stormers on it (Judas Rising, Deal With The Devil, Lochness and a couple more), whereas Redeemer... had nothing whatsoever to, well... redeem it. Piece of shit album. Nostradamus... well, you've got to admire the ambition and there are at least three fantastic songs on it, but ultimately it was a stretch too far and just didn't work.
Oh yeah, the cover for this new one is terrible, assuming that's it in the clip.
Does the world really need another Judas Priest album?
