This doesn't surprise me one bit. Rob was NEVER the one that wanted to retire. I was at the HALFORD show in Grand Rapids, MI the very night Priest announced their retirement. It was clear to me that Rob was NOWHERE near ready to retire. People were pinning the retirement announcement on Rob and I came back from that show and put that idea to rest - saying there was NO WAY that it was Rob!! I was right. Rob isn't slowing down anytime soon!!

You know I've been checking out the comments left behind about the new Judas Priest album since the album came out in July and at first the comments were very negative about the production about the title track even before July when I came out but now two months after the record is released it is hard to find negative comments about this magnificent glorious album.
30 years from now even this record will be deemed as one of the top three albums of Judas Priest.
I remember 30 years ago in 1984 when defenders of the faith was released there were some people skeptics that were calling the album a commercial failure but that was only a few and now 30 years later it's deemed as one of the best Judas Priest records there is.

Right so here's my Redeemer of Souls review.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this album. Standout tracks for me are Sword of Damocles, Cold Blooded and Crossfire. As I've said before, Crossfire as a definite Rocka Rolla vibe, and Cold Blooded reeked of 80s era Priest. Halls of Valhalla is rip snorter of a metal tune too.
Least favourite tracks - ROS, March of the Damned. Not terrible songs, but just missing something in my opinion.
Overall, I give this album a 7.5/10 at first full listen through, that may change lol. A bloody good effort for a bunch of old metal legends!

Well, after booking our trip to Brisbane, Australia to see Judas Priest play at the Soundwave festival, it got announced this morning that they are playing here in NZ for the first time at the Westfest festival about 3 days after we see them in Brisbane! Our budget doesn't quite stretch to include that show as well (it's a 7 hour drive to Auckland from where we are, or a not particularly cheap flight) but it's so awesome they're making it to our shores. |

acolytee55, I think that they WILL add Canada dates...this album is too good not to.
I think if the longer they hold out the more tickets they sell...fans worry( for good reason) that they will not be playing thier home town... flying in fans from all over to shows ....its all $ ect... but thats understanding ....
Richie said talking to Glenn "what you gonna do now just sit at home and read a magazine?"
They said fuck it...we are touring! But although its still not a world tour...I think Canada is too important to skip...they know thier long time fans harken throughout this vast Country so hang tight and they should announce a date...
But makes you wonder if the dates they may set would be farther to travel than Seattle....we will see

i agree, arguably their best or one of their best albums ever(we could debate the point forever because we are all here because of their music) i would love to pick up the regular album in the jewel case , for the collection. the thing i love is that i have had it playing for almost 2 months straight now , and when i get a little tired of ROS , i can throw in a mini-break by having more brand new priest songs on the bonus disc!!!! i am a little sad no Vancouver date announced as of yet , however , Tacoma washington is only a 60-70 minute flight away , anyone going to that night????

Yeah perhaps. Yeah everyone has thier own take on rating JP albums, those who think Nostradamus is thier best are not wrong,its thier vision and opinions from the heart.
I always envey those people because I wish I liked it and "they" got a JP album to groove on and I didnt...you either like something or not ya know....
Im lucky this time around because Redeemer Of Souls to me is Judas Priest's 4th best album ....
Sad Wings Of Destiny,British Steel and Screaming For Vengeance...are like all three albums are #1........I can never decide which one is #1 #2 and # 3 Redeemer Of Souls to me ranks in at # 4 with Painkiller #5 with Defenders #6 and AOR #7
Its intresting how this band's material grabs us all in different ways. Never thought they would create an album that I would rank #4 especially without K.K.Downing yet in my eyes and ears they have.
Utterly amazing.
I love tracks 1 through 12 ,Dragonaut to Battle Cry are just supurb classic Judas Priest,even Metalizer I love too even with the bass too loud and solos not loud enough never skip it...I love the track and lyrics kick ass.

|
| [Head banger] Tuesday, September 09, 2014 8:12:32 AM | |

I still have to listen more to it to realy rank it. but I like it. somehow I have only been able to give it a couple of runs thru.
They must have run out of paper cases, cause the jewel cases are a new addition. guess that means good sales.

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....
