the new judas priest album

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

rocks your arse

No pun intended

 

[John Gargo]

I can't wait... the clips I've heard have been spectacular.

 

[Judas Rising]

It's indeed a great album.

 

[Stormwatch]

What about "Lochness"? Apparently it's embarrasingly shite.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

and have probably influenced the lot of the bands you listen to

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

priest sucks

...
I am assuming you listen to metal since you are posting on a metal forum, and for someone to listen to metal and say something like that is pure stupidity.

 

[Dhalaren]

I noticed Judas Priest are going to be touring with In Flames... no comment.

 

[Jon Snow]

I've never listened to Judas Priest before...or Maiden.

 

[Luz]

AWESOME, now I need money.
They will be touring with In Flames...? Shit... no comment.
But still Judas Priest rules.

How so?

 

[daimonion]

No way! Its probably the best song on the album!

 

[Jon Snow]

I'm still fairly new to the whole metal scene. I was a classic rock guy until last year. I keep hearing so much about Judas Priest and Iron Maiden but never got a chance to check them out. Any recommendations for me to start with?

 

[Scourge of Malice]

I'm not TOO big on either bands but I think "painkiller" is a good place to start with for JP..... and for Maiden maybe check out a best of or something...



***and el oh el at them touring with IN FLAMES

 

[Bob McBojit]

"A best of" is kind of vague, since Iron Maiden seem to release another Best Of album every year or so (and for the record, I own them all... *ahem*).
Most people would recommend Number of the Beast, Peace of Mind, or Powerslave. I don't really know what kind of stuff you like, though. My personal favourite of those three is Powerslave. If you're going to just get a Best Of, I'd say "Best of the Beast".

And probably more than 90% of metal bands in the world are influenced by Iron Maiden and/or Judas Priest.

^I want to ask you something since you have the entire catalogue of them.
Did you find some similarities between Brave New World and Dance Of Death? IMO I didn't like it they're quite the same album (the compositions sounded the same to me)
Did you like the album?

 

[Bob McBojit]

I didn't think that Brave New World and Dance of Death were all that similar. But that might be because I didn't really like Dance of Death and haven't listened to it all that much. I felt the songs were a bit too long at times.
I felt that with Brave New World, there was a kind of 'new lease of life' with them getting Bruce Dickinson back. I really like that album (even though there are about four chord progressions throughout the entire album, but dammit, I really like those chord progressions).

 

[Luz]

You're right, I loved Brave New World, but I have listened Dance of Death so many times, that I had that feeling, they sounded pretty similar.

 

[Bob McBojit]

Hm. Their sound has definitely changed. The ol' "galloping" feel of the old stuff is very rare now. The last two albums, for the most part, have been quite a bit slower. A couple of tracks on BNW have an 'epic' feel, and most of Dance of Death also has that feel. The kind of feel that usually appears in power metal, with grand orchestras and such.

 

[Nico]

The new Priest is great... was a little disapointing, but fuck, it's still very enjoyable.
