[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif] Of course, we will continue to record as well…we have already written an album’s worth of material. Three songs are properly recorded and roughly mixed. I think that the record company might put out something, just a bit of something so as to let the fans know of what’s coming along. It’s gonna be a great album and it’s gonna carry on from where “Angel of Retribution” left off. We got “Nostradamus” out of our system and now we are heading towards classic Priest metal….the screams, the fast, the slow and the heavy! A little bit of everything. A big “thank you” for all that we are doing goes out to the fans. [/FONT]

We'll see, but AOR wasn't a good comeback either. Next we know they're gonna blame KK for "Nostradamus" :Smug:

I don't find he blamed anything on KK - he said "we" meaning the whole band. Mistake me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Tipton and Halford primarily responsible for Nostradamus?

Regarding AOR, I loved it. Hellrider, for example, is by far the best thing Priest has done since Painkiller, and would not have been out of place on that disc.

I could have done without Loch Ness, but the rest was quite good.

 

[Caveman Ninja]

Loch Ness was a total embarassment. I liked Judas Rising though, and there were a few other decent enough songs on the album.

Still not particularly interested or impressed by them carrying on without KK though.

 

[Wyvern]

I like 'Loch Ness', is so bad that is good.

And I was being sarcastic when I said about KK. As a matter of fact I hope they have the recordings with KK both on composition and playing, but again when it comes out I will download, evaluate and see if it worth the money.

@ Brandon: I believe (although I cannot prove it) that AOR was done with leftovers from previous albums, more or less re-touched for recording.
I mean 'Hellrider' sounds like something out of "Painkiller", but 'Revolution' (which bores me) for example sound like some from the 70's. Very mixed sound for my taste.

 

[SoundMaster]

Loch Ness.....one of my fav tracks from that album (silly lyrics aside....but many Priest songs have dumb lyrics).

 

[Caveman Ninja]

I like 'Loch Ness', is so bad that is good.

Oh, it never fails to make me laugh

 

[Sinister Realm]

I really like AOR and Lochness was a personal fav. The lyrics are of course silly but I sort of expect a certain amount of silly lyrics from Priest now a days. Looking forward to their next album returning to the classic sound even though I did enjoy Nostradamus.

 

[METALDUDE]

The new guy Richie is good...but I can't get used to looking at clips with Tipton next to somebody else...it just doesn't look right to me at all.

Glenn and KK were one person in my eyes and I think alot of fans' eyes.

I sure hope he would come back.
