This is Judas Priests latest attempt at a studio album, but with their new vocalist Im afraid it falls short of the priest we all love. I mean it has a few good songs. BLOOD STAINED is a very fast song with very great lyrics, and BULLET TRAIN is also very fast, but the highlight of this album is CATHEDRAL SPIRES folks this is the whole reason I bought this album it is a truly amazing song, but it cant make up for the rest of the album. The biggest flaw is that all of those classic priest solos we heard on previous albums are totally absent on this one, taking the rating down about 2 stars. If you are looking for a 90s version of priest this album is for you, but if you want the fast,heavy and often times melodic priest try "Defenders of the faith" or "Screaming for Vengeance".
