Bit worried about the one more time but hey one of the Greats are back!

Comments on YT are mixed but I quite like the new song. Can't wait to hear the whole album.

It doesn't suck..
It isn't great either
halford sounds good

 

[nomisofsiman]

It's okay. Nothing special. However, when "Angel of Retribution" came out, their single was the worst on the disc, so I'm still optimistic.

 

[DuchessOfDork]

I love it. No complaints. BRING ON THE PRIEST.

Honestly, Halford doesn't sound dominating here. If you told me this was Gamma Ray, I'd have believed you until the solos.

Really? Halford sounds nothing on that track like Hansen IMO... Musically, maybe I could hear some similarities.

So this just feels really flat for me. Halford is still awesome, the guitars are good. It has everything I like in a song....but I'm still meh. Like it lacks energy maybe? I don't know.

Kind of sounded like a demo??? Not a finished product.

 

[Comic Book Dude]

As much as I love Priest (easily one of my all-time favorites), let's face it, they're not exactly innovators anymore. We've heard so many other bands take the Priest sound to many other places, where Priest are kind of stuck trying to duplicate a lot of what they did on Painkiller. I'm sure the new release will have some solid material, but I'm not going to be expecting anything groundbreaking. Man, I hate saying that about this band.

the guitars need to be more upfront. All you hear is Halford

That's more what I meant, though it almost doesn't sound like Halford in spots, or at least it sounds like he's mailing it in. It sounds more like a "standard Euro power metal" band than, you know, Judas Fuckin' Priest.

What happened that these guys forgot how to write songs?

My thought as well. Halford sounds good, and the track is ok, but it doesn't sound like a finished product. Guitars are too far in the back, which is certainly not what you expect from Judas Priest.

 

[MYSTIC1]

Hate to say it..it's weak. Hoping for stronger material on the rest of the disc.

 

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

Enjoying the iTunes version a lot more!

 

[DustyV]

As a whole, I don't think Halford sounds good at all, BUT for his age I think he sound really good .... I always try and judge with the age in mind, realizing that he just can't hit the notes like he use to, which is perfectly normal and natural. I admire him though for still doing what he loves and staying true to his heart... I don't think I'll buy it, but I do highly admire the man....

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

I'll buy it because HALFORD is the man.

 

[PromisedLand]

Eh.. I was never a huge JP fan, and this doesn't do much for me.

 

[TempleOfBlood]

The new song is pretty good but not as great as the title tracks from their last several albums.

#1 metal song on iTunes
