There's a few good songs on this cd BURN IN HELL, BULLET TRAIN and the 11 minute epic CATHEDRAL SPIRES, which is a true Priest classic, but Glenn Tipton's lyrics are often pretty stupid (the title track, DEAD MEAT, DEATH ROW). Their heaviest album to date, it won't sit well with old school Priest fans but it's not a total loss. The songs are just crafted for Ripper to scream and snarl, although he actually sings at times. The cover art looks like a B grade comic book, or a rejected version of the DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH cover. Anyhoo, it's okay. Some great songs, some good songs, some bad songs....
