I actually think Angel Of Retribution is better than Defenders Of The Faith. If I took the 5 heaviest tracks and matched them up I always like Retributions tracks better.
Judas Rising over Freewheel Burning,Deal With The Devil over Jawbreaker,Demonizer over The Sentinel,Wheels Of Fire over Love Bites,Hellrider over Heavy Duty.
And I like Eulegy over Night Comes Down and Worth Fighting For over Rock Hard Ride Free. I just think Angel Of Retribution is better than Defenders,but don't get me 
wrong,I still love Defenders Of the Faith too. Theres only one track on each album I don't like: Night Comes Down and Lochness,but even with Lochness...AOR still rules!

AOR was ok but I think the cd in general though falls short of greatness like other Priest cd's of he past. Judas Rising and Hellrider are classics and then there is a huge gap between those and  the rest of the songs. In my opinion the great Priest cd's are, Defenders, Painkiller, SFV, British Steel, HBFL and Unleashed (best live cd) in no particular order. AOR and Nostradamus falls way short of these and I hope the next cd will put them at the top of the metal heap again.

Yeah that would be awsome Hellrider!!   Yeah I have Sabbat's Dreamweaver cd....a mix between what you've posted and Painkiller would definately turn out awsome.

I just hope that the next album flows fast like magic.....like the British Steel album....the wrote,recorded and mixed it in 6 weeks!! That is absolutely crazy....but everything 

clicked for that album.....I'm hoping this next LP will be finished rather quickly without sacrifice to the songwritting......an album out in September 2010 1 year from now 

would be too much to ask for......as long as they don't rush the procees...if it comes to them quickly....so be it.....if not I just hope the quality song writting is 100% which I

really think it will be on this next LP.

Yes you have a very valid point here....anything is possible....maybe they will have one out in lets say September 2010...??

But we all have to count on the new album being released somewhere in the first few months of 2011...thats more acurate

I think...but I do not know this so lets see what happens and hope we get an album soon...its been almost 5 years since

Angel of Retribution was released and that was the last real heavy tradtional metal album they have  done so lets hope so!!!

		Way back when, rumors were swirling that Angel of Retribution was going to be a double disc because while interviewed, they stated having enough material for two discs.  We all know it was one disc, so I'm wondering where the material went.  If it didn't end up working it's way into Nostradamus, perhaps we have a head start already.  Priest (or I think Jayne) said the reason for all that material was so they could release another album faster...
