I just purchased " Crucible " two days ago, and let me tell you I'm nothing short of amazed.. It's pure Halford, the way we experienced him on the previous album Resurrection. From the title track, to Handing out Bullets, to Golgotha.. There's not a song on this album that dissapoints. It's heavy, it's hard, It's Halford as we know him best.. I've caught a lot of reviews saying this album is a dissapointment, and nothing as groundbreaking as Resurrection. .. Well, NO SHIT. That was Halfords first solo release, of course it's going to be the best out of what will come for awhile.. He had his whole heart in that CD, singing about his troubles making it to that point.. Now he's settled in, and just wanting to make some damn good music. It's classic Rob, and should be checked out by any good metal fan. Enjoy kids.
