No I don't have that much confidence in my favorite over all long time band because they haven't given us anything to feel confident about. What have they given us Brian? Angel of Retribution?

Sure I like it but I rank it #6,and I don't think that anybody here has ever ranked it within the top 5 albums,sure people have different opinions about my top 5 albums but Retribution isn't in anybody's top 5. I speak highly of the album because I was thrilled it landed at #6 in my personal opinion because its so hard to beat some of thier classics.

And Nostradamus? We both know the answer is NO. Screaming vocals and shreading guitars yeah yeah yeah that doesn't mean anything and you know it as I keep saying. Glenn said fans will love the retribution album before it came out and said it was classic Priest fans will instantly love and look what happed,your opinion of the album says it all.

Are you going to be Charlie Brown ready to kick that football again only to have Lucy pull it away at the last second? Not me. I know this LP won't be in the top 5 best Priest albums,but again I'm hoping it will rank around # 6 or # 7. Also this fuckin band has wasted so much precious time that I'm really no longer excited about the new album. ?

Thats right,I'm sick of thinking about it. By the time the fucker is out Glenn will be 86 years old barely being able to pluck a note and Rob will be whispering the vocals. After the Retribution LP in 2005 they left us hanging on for 7 long years turning into 8 long years now....they said 2012 for the new LP and now its 2013...blah blah blah who the fuck cares anymore,not me.

When its finally out yeah I'll have a listen,but I'm sure as hell not excited about Judas Priest anymore because of thier misuse of time and lack of studio work.

I don't see them releasing another "skip track" album as Hellrider would say. I think they have something to prove with the new cd and it's gonna be a bad-boy. So what if the band is in their 60's, the only problem there is maybe halfords voice is not what it use to be. And you seem to be forgetting Faulkner is in his 30's.I see there is currently around 38,000 active members on this site and you speak for all of them? ha! I don't think so man. If you're talking about the few that post here on a regular basis then that's not very many and not the majority as you claim. And I cant remember anyone else here saying that they cant match these top 5 albums you keep bringing up. How did you come up with that list anyway?? I'm sure there are lots of fans that wouldn't even list some of these in their top five favorites ..check your top ten thread and get back with me.If the new album is in the style of Painkiller (not exact copy)then I think Hellrider will enjoy it even if Downing doesn't return. Halford said it has "Screaming vocals" and "shredding guitars" ...and that's getting it from the horses mouth (lol). Glenn Tipton said "it's very heavy and classic Priest" and that Nostradamus was just something they had to get out of their systsm so I think they are ready to get back to classic Priest. You don't seem to have much confidence in you favorite band.

No,the majority of us here I was refering to pretty much anyone but you and Hellrider.

Hellrider has already said the new album MUST HAVE K.K. back to achieve an album he would consider valid and "MAXIMUM",otherwise its just a half ass Priest record he will play once on throw it on the shelf so for him no K.K. no good reviews from him for this next record and you know it.

You won't like it because it won't have the right swagger you keep whining about. Rob has been back for almost 9 years in Priest and since you don't like AOR they have done absolutely "nothing" that is worthy between Priest and the Halford band combined. 9 years of nothing half ass bullshit.

So what makes you think all of a sudden they are going to wake up and snap an album out like Screaming For Vengeance or Defenders Of The Faith let alone the "mighty" Painkiller?

Especially now Rob Glenn and Ian are all 60 + years old now? The last 9 years shows what kind of song wrtitting they are capable of and the odds are it will be something along the lines of the Retribution album,not the songs themselves but the style sound of the album. They just don't have any "METAL MELTDOWN" style songs left in them. The heaviest (not the speed) they have come close was the song Demonizer and thats about it.

Sad Wings Of Destiny, British Steel, Screaming For Vengeance, Defenders Of The Faith, Painkiller are 5 albums this new album will not be able to come close to in quality and might as well throw in Stained Class and Hell Bent For Leather too according to most people those are 2 favs so really there are 7 albums this new album won't be able to top and probably for you won't have the swagger.

I just hope its the 6th best Priest album topping Retribution and moving it to #7 in my book. Hell I might not like the album but you and Hellrider won't like the album I'd almost bet money on it.
