Renatus has the absolute best and catchiest choruses/hooks of the year. I've had the album for months, and even if I haven't listened to it repeatedly on a daily basis, I remember every single chorus.
The best part? Album keeps on growing more and more on me. I think it'll end up as a top 5 of the year, for sure!

Got Renatus in the mail today. Had not listened to them before the PP XVI announcement video. After 2 spins I am completely floored. This is amazing. Will need a few more listens to cement my opinion of this, but I am now really looking forward to seeing them!

The album is good but gets tiresome after a while. It needs some diversity not just this racing all the time.

I completely agree. After a while, one great song after another just gets exhausting. It's like, "OK. We get it. You can write a flawless album. But can you write something that sounds completely rehashed and half-assed, like the new Priest?"

It's not flawless. It sounds like 5 guys trying to fit into one stall after eating a spoiled taco.

For me it's flawless. I love every song on there. But as always, all music is completely subjective. To each their own.
I just bought the download of Renatus.....pretty amazing stuff. I love the energy and bombast, and the balls-out vocals are incredible. I'm very glad I checked out this thread.
Definitely the surprise album of the year! Had a feeling they would be announced for next year, and very glad they are. Top 5 of the year for sure.
Guys, where did this band come from and how had I not heard of them? Renatus is top notch stuff and it's caught me off guard. Killer!

Like I said its not a bad album. If anything, it's nice to hear a 2014 version of Athletic Rock.
As for knocking Priest? Dynazty will never have their success.
Low to mid tier until the inevitable breakup.

That's because they changed up their sound quite a bit. The further back in their catalog you go, the more 80's metal they sound. Some of the songs from those discs would be right at home on Sunset Strip circa 1986. Take 'Wild Nights' from 'Knock You Down'. That could easily have been written by Motley Crue in their prime. With the release of 'Sultans of Sin' they took a sideways step away from that sound. With 'Renatus' they have shed that sound almost completely.
Me? I've loved this band for a long time. So 'Renatus' was a shock to the system for me. Too different from their older material. In fact, I didn't care for it at first. But I revisited it some time later and now I love it. Funny the difference perspective makes.
