One would think that after the horrid JUGULATOR, Judas Priest would attempt to get back to their roots. Wrong! Like JUNKULATOR, this album suffers from overused guitar, horrid lyrics, and death-inspired titles. "Bloodsuckers"?, "Devil Digger"?. Come on, guys you can do better then this! Oh yeah, what's with all the explicit lyrics? Trying to sound like Slayer is not going to earn you any more respect. Tim "Ripper" Owens still tries to sound like Rob Halford, but to no avail. I still can't understand why Judas Priest is trying to sound like a thrash metal band.... metal is more like it! I have no idea what Downing and Tipton had in mind, but this is a band that has gone downhill, FAST!
