The more I listen, the more I love it. Halford sounds awesome, check out the scream at 1:06

His voice does sound good...it's going to take some getting used to.

 

[Hell_Awaits]

Cool song. The beginning sounds like some crazy heavy metal opra.

i heard this last night.

nice!

It was alright. JP have an intention to write epic lyrics but it always turns out cheesy.

I agree with you...I accept some cheese factor with metal, but this may a bit much...they did it with Loch Ness on the last release as well. I wish they would go back to writing more poignant lyrics like on Sad Wings and Sin after Sin...that's just classic stuff. I kind of expected cheese from a Nostradamus concept album.

It's an ok song. For me, the production is what bothers me most. It sounds like two different bands had their tracks laid over each other. On one hand you have the "classic" priest guitar sound that is thin, almost lacking tone. On the other hand, you have this bottom-heavy rythm section that sounds like nu-metal bands. Nothing wrong with either one. They are too much of a contrast here though.
Shenk is right too. The World of Warcraft lyrics are kinda gay. Maybe after 30 years, he doesn't know what to say?

The World of Warcraft lyrics are kinda gay.

considering who we're talking about, that comment just strikes me funny.

I cant even understand all the lyrics. It does'nt matter though. Rob Halford could sing "Mary had a little lamb" and it would sound cool.

Hey! That's TWISTED SISTER's new gig! Their heavy metal nursery rhythms album comes hot on the heel of their gold album, "headbanging christmas!"

Didn't even occur to me when I wrote that. Too funny.

Priest generally wern't known for writing the most intelligent lyrics, in the 80's anyway and I say that as a huge fan. A lot of them are awesome though, in a humorous way.

A cool song. Little cheesy but catchy. Reminds me of Running Wild at times the production (guitar sound) sounds kinda weak to me but it could be the shitty headphones I have at work. I like the organ part and the solos - they sound pretty awesome.

 

[Mxgonzo]

I like the organ part

That's what Rob Halford said!

(Yes folks, The gay jokes never get old)

I wonder what Rob thinks of "A.I.D.S."- Anal Inflicted Dick Suckers.
