Sounds promising to me.

Yeah definitely sounds promising

That 15 seconds of music is better than the whole of the last album combined. Cautiously optimistic.

I'd be happy with they could pull together another 'Angel of Retribution' at this point. I guess we'll see. 16 seconds is not much to go by.

They haven't written a note of decent music since Painkiller. I can't say I'm excited. Mind you, I haven't played that 'trailer' or whatever it is...

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.

^The cover looks like a single cover too.

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.

I posted almost that exact same sentence on another forum this morning.

Huge step up production wise from Redeemer:




^^there is a video on Vimeo too. I like it. Not amazing but very solid.

Pretty average, has a 'track 2' feel to it. Agreed about the production though, a definite step up.

I like it a lot.

Does the world really need another Judas Priest album?

^The world doesn't need anything, need is a human concern. The short answer is yes though.

I liked it. Looking forward to the release

This is going to be a banger.

They haven't sounded this good for ages.

Genuinely looking forward to this album.

Not doing much for me.
