I had reservations about this recording which I spoke about on here some time ago. But I have to say after listening to this countless amounts of times now, driving my kids and my sweetie crazy with it, that this is the BEST recording that this band has ever done.
A lot of us were looking for an album of Painkillerish barn burners. A lot of us were expecting the natural order, Priest wise, to AOR but what we got people was a piece of perfection that takes Priest into a direction that none of us was expecting. This music has moods, modes, it flows perfectly. I am somewhat taken aback to the writing of this music. I knew tipton and downing to be excellent songwriters but this completely is beyond my expectations.
This recording give us Priest fans everything we could have wanted from them. I dont know how this can be topped......
