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.
