I really WANT to like it but it's just very "meh" for me (and they're one of my all time favs).
It sounds like a leftover track from the Painkiller era (which generally, would be awesome) but it lacks the power and delivery. It's evident the last couple albums that Halford can't belt out those high notes throughout the songs any more (he is getting up there in age...). That's half of what I love about the band. It's uncomfortable for me to watch them live as well these days. Rob just kid of stands there or walks slowly back and forth, eyes closed, like he is just hoping to get through the songs and go home. I'm spoiled I know...the "hey day" was awesome with them!
I'll buy this just because it's Priest, but my hope is set very low...

That's quite a load of songs... 5 bonus tracks? It's now often a band does that.
But I also think it would be best to have only 10-12 excellent songs.

In my opinion, the song really isn't that bad. It has attitude, it has catchy lines, and it has a melodic sensibility. It's not the greatest song that Priest has ever written, but you can easily say that about plenty of songs that appear on Priest albums that have been purchased by the folks on this forum. You don't really hear people clamoring over songs like "You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise," but the album that contains that song is considered by many to be their best release. Yes, Judas Priest is considered one of the all-time greatest heavy metal bands. No, that does not mean that they spin gold every time they write a song. Maybe I just set my expectations a lot lower than those of other folks around here, but I can't see any real fault with this tune.
Stay metal. Never rust.

Not really. Take a look at it. As Jasonic and I were talking about earlier, it's basically a combination of Nostradamus, Angel of Retribution and Painkiller. It's pretty lazy.

Replace Queensryche by Saxon and you get a killer package of true metal.

Nope. Used to love the band, but I don't really like either version nowadays.

You can also pre-order the album from iTunes to get the song.

I don't like the vocal lines either. Soounds more like Ozzy Osbourne than Rob Halford.

Another full song ("Dragonaut") streaming, sounds pretty good to me:
