Great in my book is an ~8/10; extremely enjoyable, but not necessarily reaching the pinnacle at any moment (unlike SWOD or Stained Class which basically are perfect). Although in the case of Point of Entry, I wouldn't hesitate to put Desert Plains up with anything else they've done, and the adjacent songs are almost as excellent. I'll admit that it peters out a little towards the end, but at worst it's average melodic rock. Demolition, on the other hand, is really high-quality for what is admittedly basically catchy 80's Priest anthems with lots of alternative/"modern" metal bits and production thrown in. The quasi-rapping is silly and there's the occasional bad idea, but on a whole it's highly singable and catchy. Feed on Me and Bloodsuckers are staight-up classic Priest rockers, and the other heavier songs, while having a lot more groove metal influence, are still very distinguishable from each other. imo they actually took all the typical radio metal of that era and improved on it. With 13 songs there's certainly a bit of filler, but nothing awful.
Jugulator and Nostradamus are the only below average ones imo, and the latter could be saved with a lot of trimming.
