Best album since "Screaming For Vengeance" (IMHO)
The first one purchased by me since "Defenders Of The Faith"
My favorite tune is "Worth Fighting For"

That is all I got...

I soooo want to vote for 'Lochness' just to cheese people off, but I gotta go with 'Deal with the Devil'. 'Demonizer' and 'Judas Rising' could've easily been picked too. The whole album is excellent as far as I'm concerned. Great return for these old coots.

"Worth Fighting For" for me.

Voted for Judas Rising. Great Album, one of my favorites.

Hellrider. And I think I'm the only person who thinks Loch Ness is a cool tune.(actually the whole album is great)

Count me in on Lochness. The whole song is just moves from start to finish. A fine closer.

Although I went with Hellrider as well. If I were a biker, that would be my anthem.

Whole album, save for Angel, is magnificent.

Hmm, I like Angel.

My favorite track is Judas Rising, though. It was one of the first Priest tracks I remember hearing, along with You've Got Another Thing Comin'.

I need to give this whole album a listen sometime soon, it's been a long while.

"Angle of Retribution" is easily the bands best effort since "Defenders of the Faith". There are many good tunes to pick from, but I went with "Wheels of Fire".

Lochness - is one of those 13 minute metal epics - not easy -
The song also hints of seduction - Halford's speciality in lyric writing
Black Sabbath sounding / inspired, no doubt.
I feel this song, might have, inspired the Nostradamus themed effort.
Not my fav. but I did want to check in with these comments

"Judas Rising" for me. I remember going out to Best Buy for a first-day copy of this CD and as soon as I heard that track all was right with the world because Rob Halford was back fronting Judas mudda f**king Priest again !!

"Judas Rising" for me.

I went with Revolution. A bit of a throwback sound. I wasn't too happy with this album. Rob sounds strained and the songs are a little uninspired.

Demonizer!

Revolution for me, it's just so hooky and memorable.

The whole album is quite solid, though. Although I don't think I could say it's on the level of Defenders or Painkiller, let alone their 70s masterpieces.

Judas rising.
Will play this one tomorrow.

" Too fast to give a damn - stand my ground -
No one or anthing - to tie me down -
Born on the other side, wild as a hurricane, living in overdrive"

This whole album is killer! Yes, even "Loch Ness!" I am voting for "Demonizer" with "Worth Fighting For" a very close second. "Hellrider" comes in third as I really love the live version on Touch of Evil Live.

Hellrider!

Saw Priest on this tour. Anthrax opened for them. Was a great night!

I saw that tour too. Great stuff!

Great comeback album. Worst songs for me on here are wheels of fire (inferior to Mano wars version) and worth fighting for.

My favorite is hellrider. Those dual guitars at the end are just epic.

I love this album--every song--but I voted "Wheels of Fire" as #1.

Went with Judas Rising.

Played this album twice already.
Serious stuff. A killer cd.
