What can I say?

Pros: Haven't departed from their distinctive sound

Cons: Can't think of any

Man, it feels good to be one of the first 10,000 or so to listen to this album. Halford's back!!! It feels like Priest simply took off from where they'd stopped with Painkiller. Halford sounds better than ever, and strangely enough sounds inc...redibly like Bruce Dickinson (to my ears, atleast). I won't review each song, because that's just silly (and I run the risk of perpetuating my biases by doing so). It feels like each song moves seamlessly to the next, so not only are the songs impressive, so is their layout. No fillers, period. After having listened to the album for the first time, you will be able to recall every song. Which is the best song? Tough, because i've listened to each of them only a couple of times. But, the one I want to listen to again and again is the last one. Since ROTAM I can't remember having listened to a song of such epic proportions. Also, be sure to buy the limited edition album with the DVD. It's only very slightly more expensive. I haven't watched the DVD, but I'm sure it's great. All I can say is that if you like Priest, I don't really see you not enjoying AOR (aka Nemesis!). Read more Less
