Ok didnt know they came in Jewel Case ,thought it was paper...lol Head Banger what a hell of an album huh? Awsome...Cold Blooded is probly the creepiest track since the Ripper....
its also got things that remind me of the Vengeance album "Devil's Child"...right before the solos....
Crossfire is so good it reminds me of Kllling Machine.... Id say the only 2 under par tracks are Metalizer because of the mixing of bass too loud and solos not loud enough...and Begining Of The End....the other 11 are supurb.
This may not be the BEST Judas Priest slbum but it sure as hell became "my favorite" Judas Prirst album.

It's on order apparently. Thanks for the offer Guido, but I think I might take JDs advice and just get the standard CD!

My local music shop still doesn't have the deluxe album! I'm trying to hold out buying it full stop until it is available, I haven't even listened to the album in its entirety yet, some would say that makes me a bad fan I guess, no, it just makes me annoyed I can't have the version I want yet! Lol! I have heard most of the songs and am thoroughly enjoying it!

Becks, Id jump all over just getting the original CD with the 13 songs that makes up the official album if they have that.
The delux CD with the bonus Disc that have the 5 tracks on it....they are not a part of the album as you know, so to listen to ROS in its entirety would be to listen to the 13 songs.
And not sure if youd validate waiting as long as you have for the extra bonus disc B sided quality these 5 songs harness,I only have the original CD without the bonus tracks....
besides the delux version comes in the Digi- pack version(all paper and no plastic jewel case).
But if you want the delux version of the album I can see why for the curiousity and the collection of yours...then yeah Id hit up Guido's offer and have him buy one and mail it to you then obviously pay him back....it definately would be faster than what your music store is capable of....

Budred,yeah you pissed me off with yer comments on the ROS track ...I was "butt hurt" remember? (lol)
Yeah I left (and was locked out lol) but who the fuck am I anyways? Nobody.Thats who.
I like to argue,yeah Im an asshole and a hothead (PM any long time member here and they will tell you the same even if they like me..........
....and no,I wouldnt say that about them or you...you guys are opposite of me....but again,who the fuck am I to say anyways....I come and go here all the time so if Ive offended you which I probly have I apologize.
You dont have to leave,as a matter of fact I dont want to see you leave. Just read my Bull shit,post your comments and think Im a jerk(I know you dont think Im a full time jerk,but a once in a while jerk?No?..lol) I'll not beat a dead horse to death with it like Im known to do and carry on.
I fully stand by what I said about the production except I forgot to mention that the bass on Metalizer is way too loud...and then you have the solos not loud enough.They could of mixed this one track better or left it off. Still even if you disregard the track all together thats still 11 out of 13 songs on this lp that rule.

Bud, if this is your true swansong and final "farewell" then I'll leave all but the following: I do NOT help people I don't like or respect. Plain and simple. You didn't fall into either category.
Fare the well, sir. Best to you and yours.

well...yeah I agree HRMG.Could the production be better? Yeah. But so could alot of Priest albums. Even if someone says its the worse sounding Priest album...its still a good production. I just dont get it.
I agree with you....people should get an eq
There are many albums that kick ass that I even tweek the eq to get the sound I want...I never bitch about it because its not even bad enough to bitch about. Its like to me,Defenders album's drums sound thin quiet and sounds like a programe drum machine but it still sounds good enough and doesnt bother me enough to complain about .
Not saying people cant have thier opinions but at this point "to me" its a "nit-picky" trend about this production.
Yeah these songs will kick balls live. Not saying everyone should hail it thier 4th best LP like I do(with Painkiller #5) some may not like it at all thats fine man but I doubt this record is in the top 10 if the production was indeed "that bad".
I doubt it would sell well past 100,000 copies by now if this production was "Craptastic". THAT IS A VALID POINT no matter how its looked at ya know? Lol
Love "Down In Flames'....again it reminds me of the Point Of Entry album with the lyrical spirit of Leather Rebel....imo
Hell And Back reeks of Hell Bent For Leather album(the end of Evil Fantasies but Hell And Back much better)
Dragonaut somehow reminds me of the Defenders album(dont ask me how) love the song R.O.S....reminds me of Hell Patrol but much better....Metalizer is ok too...(love these lyrics and pre chorus)
....and these tracks are worthy JP tracks that can stand alongside others in the same vien....
I dont like the 5 tracks on the bonus disc and glad they didnt make the album but thats just my opinion.
But imo the 7 that can stand alongside classics of old are Halls Of Valhalla,Sword Of Damocles,March Of The Damned,Cold Blooded,Crossfire,Secrets Of The Dead and Battle Cry. Name a top 10 Priest track of all time and these 7 "imo" can match them proudly with quality.
But like you said...maybe people should get an equalizer and adjust it if it means THAT much to them (I guess....jeeze)
Very proud of Judas Priest and extremely impressed with thier song writting and these songs are of magic that only JP can deliver. A+ in my books....

Whether the production is bad or not, does it really matter considering every song will kick complete ass LIVE???!!!!  ROS sounds fucking awesome on my stereo at home. In the car, well, with a shit stereo, it's not so great. Get an equalizer people!! I love ROS too. I listen to it at least once every single day and have been running to it. Definitely the best album since Painkiller. Painkiller will always remain number 1 for me I think, but that's just me. I can't wait to hear these songs LIVE!!!

Well, I put it in my stereo at home ( I have an old school "bose"....and low and behold....it kicks balls.
Hails to Glenn Tipton and Mike E. This albums production is better than Defenders album for example. Again,the only mistake on the lp was the mixing of the guitar solos on the song Metalizer.....other than that this album is kick fuckin ass.
I love Tipton and Faulkner's style of thier version of thier twin guitar melodies in "Down In Flames....great song....reeks of the Point Of Entry album......Sword of Damocles great twin solos too......

Anyone who thinks this production on Redeemer Of Souls is poor is confusing it with being "Raw".
Maybe you and Vail should first go to the doctors and get your EARS cleaned out....then buy a new stereo...what are you listening to this through,a clock radio?
I even pulled out an old SHITTY stereo out an old cheap RCA 5 disc changer and it still sounds good.
One song only "Metalizer" where the solos are mixed not loud enough...every other track is FINE.
Thats the problem with todays fans....everything HAS to be fuckin perfect blah blah fuckin blah.
You think your opinions(you and vail) bother me now this album has sold approx. 35,000 copies in its first week just here in the states and has landed within the top 10 in the U.S. for the first time since 1982? Lol is your answer.
Apparently there are millions who think the production is fine. Hails to Glenn Tipton and Mike Exeter for producing a kick ass SOUND of an album.

I just sold my tickets to "Louder Than Life" festival. I'll still be attending the Pittsburgh show but the more I hear this album the less I'm liking it. I think it has some great songs on it and I agree with JD with the Painkiller comparisons but I guess I'm just one of those trendy idiots because I think the production is almost as bad as the production on "Jugulator". This album has so much potential but for some reason whoever did the producing held them back. Not sure if Glenn is afraid to let Richie showcase his skills or what the deal is but the guitars sound so low they sound weak. Then they turned the bass and drums up too much. You need to crank it to get good sound but then the bass and drums are too much. The first couple of weeks I couldn't get enough of this CD but now I have trouble even putting it on. I can't see spending close to a grand and not really enjoying who I wanted to see the most. I know Korn will kill it and so will a few others but I've seen more than 75% of the acts scheduled this or last year already so it still wouldn't be worth it.. I bought the new Avatar, Gemini Syndrome, Mushroomhead, and other (current band's) new discs and everyone of those CD's have better production quality than the new Priest cd. I think Val had a perfect review of "Redeemer". A few less songs would make it easier to listen to. In closing I'd like to say this may be my last post here. I won't mention names but I believe I drove at least a couple of people away from here and I know this will probably draw criticism which normally(for me) starts back and forths that no one wants so leaving will keep the peace amongst the remaining regulars. Becks, I'm glad you are finally getting to see "Priest". Soundwave would be an awesome experience even without them so you should get off on that. Guido, still not sure how you felt about me but negative or otherwise thanks for anything you helped me with. To anyone that's ever been decent with me thanks. Jimmy, Wow, where to start. My number one regret and something I still haven't lived down. To you I would like to apologize. To the rest, take care. Peace "all"!!!

Gonna post about the production on ROS ....
THESE trendy idiots who bash the albums production are top 40 trendy fucks who need an extra polished PAINKILLER production or it is a failure...its a fuckin joke....this albums production is fine...Ive studied this over and over....the ONLY production flaw is in the 9th track Metalizer...the guitar solos were mixed to quietly and gets drowned a little....but other than that 1 issue the rest of the album is fine with nothing to bitch about.
Again going back to what I said...you can argue thst the SONG "Painkiller" is better than any song on Redeemer Of Souls...but take away the title track Painkiller ....take away one of the best tracks on R.O.S. "Halls Of Valhalla"....and Redeemer to me is better than Painkiller. Almost track for track.
Im utterly amazed at how GOOD the QUALITY of songwritting this album harnesses.
I think this is Priests 4th best slbum of all time with Sad Wings,Britidh Steel and Screaming For Vengeance the top 3. IMO
Fucking amazing album...I can hardly stop listening to it....Im going to see them SATURDAY NIGHT NOVEMBER 22ND ! And congrats to you Becks you will love them...so will I...I havent seen them since 1988!

Greetings everyone. I picked up Reedemer Of Souls the day it came out July 8th
(which in my opinion is Judas Priest's best album since 1982's Screming For Vengeance....yes this album is better than Painkiller)
I absolutely LOVE every track 1 - 12 the only one I dont care for is track # 13 Begining of the end.
Anyways...I was going to post about the album in July but Ive been locked out somehow I couldnt post anything.I asked a girl from the Saxon forum to try and create an account here but she couldnt create one....said invalid email...the same it said for me.Not sure why it let me on today.
Guido...if I cant log on again for whatever reason...if you dont hear from me ...e mail me at
