I find the song to have some 70s era Black Sabbath influences, nice flashback.
Anyone heard the new Judas Priest song, "Revolution"?

I think it's alright. To echo what everyone else has already said, it's got a very vintage Priest sound to it, and while the chorus kind of has a modern tinge to it, overall the song sounds like something from Hell Bent For Leather or British Steel. Overall, not too bad.
Although this tune isn't their best work, I feel that the album will slay us! Halford's last two records were heavy as f*ck. And although the song writing was lame on the two Ripper-era Priest records, they were heavy, as well.
With that said, I think we can expect a heavy Priest record. This first tune is being released as a single. Perhaps the label demanded such a tune from them? So what. At this stage of their career, I doubt that Rob & the boys will release a sub-par album. There's too much at stake.
I do hope, however, that the record does have a 70s sound. Although their 80s work was great (most of it), and Painkiller was strong, their 70s records will always be their defining moments, IMO.

I think I'd like to hear something more in the vein of Painkiller than Stained Class for example (which is a great album nevertheless), but well that's just me.

Haha, I may have to call out of work that day to be at the record store first thing to buy it. Now that would be metal.Hawk said:the first pressing of the new Judas Priest cd will indeed have a DVD with it. On the DVD will be a part of their concert given last year in Barcelona!

song up!!
They did?, shit I don't even know they did a cover. There's another raped r&b version of Comfortably Numb out there as well, that's totally unacceptable uke:

Dude it's a horrible cover of the wall. Waters and Gilmour should sue their sorry asses
for making it a shitty hip-hop version of the classic. Hell they even covered a cameo
song pretty scary huh? And rumour is that there going to cover Morbid Angel's God
Of Emptiness. christ I hope not!

I never had much respect for bands that does covers and as for Korn, I think Untouchables wasn't too bad, I've never even bothered with the latest album cause I couldn't give a shit for all their Daddy issues...

I still can't understand where people hear old Priest in it sounds more like Jugulator-era to me.
I'd rate the song 6.5 out of 10 myself. It's good to hear a few new tricks - the bass intro, stop/start rhythm, the multi-tracked chorus. I knew Priest would pull some new tricks with this album...but then new stuff is kinda pointless if the material sucks!
While it isn't really a bad song, I wasn't too impressed by the chorus taking up most of a song. Even considering it's a radio track, I WANT MORE!!!
So, at the end of the day...it's fine, it's listenable, and I just know the album material will trump not only this song but every other band out there. It's like Iron Maiden - their singles are cool and work as tasters but the real meat is on the album! I can't help thinking this song will become addictive in the live arena though

I don't really like it simply because, as many people have said, it sounds a lot like United, one of Priest's least exciting songs.
