You're heavy metal legends,
you've reunited with your old lead singer,
one of the finest voices in the genre,
and after a reunion tour it's time to record an album.
What do you do?
If you are
Judas Priest
you kick ass.
Angel of Retribution
marks their reunion with
Rob Halford
and, unlike other
lame
reunions,
this one seems to have been done for the right reason:
the music.
The Priest pretty much pick up going down the path
they were on when
Painkiller,
their last album with Rob,
came out back in 1990:
harder songs but still sounding like Judas Priest.
The songs range from the awesome, like
Revolution,
to the silly, which is a thirteen-and-a-half minute ode to
Lochness
[sic]
(hey,
it's not the only silly song they've ever made)
which still sounds great.
Thirty years and going strong once again,
Judas Priest still have it.
