The Boys are Back in Town: Riot Returns with Immortal Soul (2011)
Maiden and Priest - start taking notes. This is how you do heavy metal, instead of overly boring and drawn out pretentious "creativity" you both committed to recording for your last albums....Most surprising, however, is how good Tony Moore sounds after taking a lengthy break from the music scene. While he isn't pitch for pitch matched with his Thundersteel performance, his voice is in tip top shape, besting his peers Bruce Dickinson and Rob Halford.
...
A little less surprising is the rest of the band's performance because I don't expect a deterioration of their personal musicality. Jarzombek remains a living legend behind the drum kit, Reale still offers punchy, melodic, bluesy, and shredtastic leads, and the rest of the guys are solid as ever...
...Reale and the boys have crafted something energetic and creative defying their ages, hinting at what Riot could potentially offer the community in years to come.
Step up your game, Maiden and Priest.
