For some reason, the board software messed up the link. I'll try it.

I got the link from http://www.thegearpage.net/board/sho...d.php?t=403895 You can try it from there too.

I have mixed emotions about it.
Its far from bad BUT its not stellar.
It may grow on me, but I won't be buying this one.

After listening to most of it, I am going to pass. Boring...

They all sound like soungs that wouldn't have made it on one of thier earlier albums. It sounds better tha Angel Of Ret, but not much. The songs just didn't go anywhere. And what is with all those damn keyboards or guitar synths or whenatever the hell they are? Priest used to be all guitar riff driven, and none of that was.

I agree. After listening to a little over half of it, I give them credit for doing a full-on concept album and putting out exactly what they wanted to, but it fell a little flat for me in mood, tempo, and in subject-matter. I personally don't go for the Nostradamus stuff, and think you can read anything you want into the prophecies, but that's for another thread. On the positive side, there were some cool parts scattered in there, and Rob sounded great.

I think this could end up being Turbo (despite the fact I like the first side of said record a lot)/Ram it Down Part 2. Bland sounding, over use of synths and crap, and tired songwriting. I dunno, maybe it could be worth a second listen.
