Unconfirmed rumors suggest that other tracks on HALFORD IV will be "The Chainsaw," "The Weed Whacker," and "The Garden Weasel"

LOL!!

I wonder what his spring album will be titled?? 'An Ode to Bud'??

I really like this. It's a grower. Anyone know what it's about?

(don't answer if it's, you know, 'kinky')

Not bad, but there does seem to be a little something missing. Like someone else mentioned, he's trying a little too hard to be "metal" and forsaking some melody or something. I understand that he wants it to be differnet than what he does in Priest though.

That being said, I'll still get anything new from the man. He never disappoints. Well, ok, there was the Two album, but I'll forget that ever happened.

You guys are too forgiving. Not one nu-metal comment! Ridiculous. Haha.

IMO it's pretty good but a bit bland and repetitive.

Also it would have been more appropriate to call it "Supersonic Silver Flying Machine" That would have been awesome.

He's making music solely for the suck-ups at his forum now.

Glad he's into the whole season thing. For Christmas it was carols, and now it's summer time.... BAM, a song about his favorite summer activity! I can't wait for Halloween this year!

Yeah, that's a song I can definitely relate to... over grown lawn, stand by for pain, I'm "The Mower".

Sounds like a cross between Fight and the Crucible album...I like it...

Hmmm, it's good but I wonder if it'll wear out quickly?

If the entire album is like this I think it could...but Halford does like to spread things out on his albums a bit so we'll see...

I haven't heard "The Mower", but the "Made Of Metal" track is really good.

October seems to be promising, with Helloween and Halford albums.

This year I've gotten so many releases from legendary and favortie bands and it's not over yet. Apart from Circle II Circle, Flotsam And Jetsam, Helloween, Angra, Thunderstone, and Therion, I also have Halford to look forward to. Damn, what a year!

Looks like there's far too many tracks on the album. I can see myself using the skip button a lot.

I definitely hear the Fight similarities. Always enjoyed Fight anyhow and the song is pretty good in my opinion. The new Halford IV CD will be released Tuesday, Sept. 28.
