I don't understand why so many people are comparing the new album to previous releases.
I'm sick of reading people moaning "it doesn't sound like Painkiller" or "it doesn't sound like AOR!"
If you want to listen to those albums then put them on and listen to them or alternatively, if you want to follow a band with the same sound album after album go and listen to Linkin Park or something!
Take the album on it's own merit, the songwriting is fantastic, the production is mint, the imagery and atmosphere are immense - it's like nothing they have attempted before and they have pulledit off in style. I don't think there are many 1hr 40min albums that I can listen to in one sitting without wanting to skip a single track and then at the end feel like I wanna go back to the beginning for another listen.
And as for the "it doesn't sound like Priest" thing - what exactly do priest sound like? Listen to Sin After Sin then Point of Entry then Turbo then Painkiller, do they really sound the same? I don't think so. It does sound like Priest because it is Priest in 2008.
