OK, I know I'm gonna get unhelpful votes but I feel that this needed to be said. Basically I bought this after buying Halford's "Resurrection" album. I'm also a massive fan of Iron Maiden, and I was under the impression that Judas Priest sounded a lot like Maiden. For those of you whose interest in this lies amongst liking Iron Maiden or similar bands, I think you should hear a few songs on MP3 first or something, because this offers a much lighter, slower, slimpler, feel-good rock sound in many places, rather than metal. It certainly sounds more 70s rather than 80s.

I'm sure all you Priest fans will hate me for it but I felt that I had to say it so that somebody in my shoes didn't make the same uninformed mistake. If you like hard-rock/70's metal then this is great. But otherwise, stick with the more aggressive Iron Maiden.
