So first it would be really happy that the old boys have again carved out an album that can be heard quite. Both the sound and in character shines occasionally a slight grade of "British Steel" through - and there are certainly worse references. On the somewhat strange, unfinished acting sound can get used to, although I somehow lacks a little power the guitar sound compared to Nostradamus. This should have been allowed to mingle quietly punchier for my taste. The extra distortion, but I find quite ok. In general, the solos are unfortunately kept quite short and traditional. While it lacks a little metal Trademark but epic guitar battles as before with Downing no longer exists unfortunately. - And that's a pity, because apart from Halfords voice belonged to the decidedly brand essence. Speaking: In the 6 years since Nostradamus Halfords voice has unfortunately age-related diminished significantly. Not really bad, because he is also so still most metal singer / shouter in his pocket, but just at the higher passages, especially long screams, he acts now being evil endeavors. Well, good 40 years left Metal halt their mark.
With the songs I do not want to spend big me. There are virtually no downtime here. The bonus disc is recommended for fans, because at least a good and acceptable 3 songs are on it. Non-Priest disciples come but quite good without the bonus material. The very kitschy bonus ballad very end, however, sounds suspiciously like swansong. Although not quite come under waiting, but a shame it would be anyway. Otherwise, I'd say: Overall well done and absolutely Priest-worthy. Honest Metal the old school flat, with nothing "progressive" (which in the context of the Priests indeed would almost blasphemous), but even without fabric softener. Therefore: For me clear 4 stars.
Hopefully it create the old boy again within reach. I would like to once again condemned live.
