Halford III - Winter Songs

[Acdcpwns]

Ive been listening to the two singles that were released by Halford
"Get into the Spirit" and "We Three Kings". I think its pretty awesome and I can't wait for it to be released...heres the two songs in case you haven't heard [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS4Uwfm-eOE&feature=player_profilepage[/ame] and [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXhbrReRDO8&feature=related[/ame] What do you guys think about it? It's kinda weird listening to Halford singing Christmas songs lol

Cool, I really dig the first song. It'll give me some extra material when I do my Metal Christmas radio show in another month or two.

I didn't like most of the vocals on the first song at all. What's with the drumming? Drum machine or just that horribly generic? Metal Mike did a good job with his solos, though.

I'll probably pick this up because it's Halford and all but dammit, I wanted a bit more.

 

[SickBoy]

Sounds better than latest Judas Priest, that's for sure

 

[Wyvern]

I like 'Get Into The Spirit' pretty metal for me, but 'We Three Kings' is just plain bad

Could be drum kit from hell. Those are pretty damn good sounding drums for a drum machine (if they in fact are).

I have to pass on this. I'll wait for the next one.

Sounds pretty good. I was skeptical at the notion of a Halford Christmas album, but I'll definitely check it out.

Halford always surprises me by every album release

a Holiday-themed album is one of those surprises - I first heard about it when he was on That Metal Show (I was in the audience) and I later met him afterwards

Either way I look forward to hearing it

 

[Vicious Robbie]

I'll have to pass on this. Just not my thing

 

[sixxswine]

I have the complete album on it's way to me. I haven't heard these clips because I want to hear the thing in it's entirety.

Please, post a review here (of any lenght) after you have listended to it. I foresee it will be a mixed bag.

Okay then I will...

Maybe Rob will go on tour with TSO this year

 

[Acdcpwns]

These two tracks are enough for me to get excited over the album, if the album is as decent as these two songs are I can see it doing well

 

[Wyvern]

I already downloaded the whole album. Spite 2-3 songs at the most that can be considered good rockers (in spite of the lyrics) the whole album in the end becomes just Nostradreadful Sorry Rob, baaaaaaad choice for a third album

 

[Acdcpwns]

well thats disappointing im going to go find it

 

[Caveman Ninja]

I'll have to pass on this. Just not my thing

I'm with you... Halford really needs to buy himself a Ridiculousness Detector... 3 Kings is bloody awful...

I previewed the rest of the album & I think I may pass on it. After the novelty wears off, it's pretty subpar compared to previous Halford albums.

 

[METALDUDE]

I'll eventually get it...it's Halford.
