Firepower (2018) 35% of the vote
The latest ranks 9th.
A great record this late in their careers.
But which albums rounds out the top ten?! Vote, vote, vote!
Point of Entry again. Firepower is great, but kinda shocked it won over point, ram, and rock a Rolla. It would have been my choice after those three.
Firepower is the best of the reunion albums, but none of those have the power of Halford’s voice on Ram.
Ram it Down .
Yes indeed!
Halford’s singing on Blood Red Skies is amazing! Definitely one of the best Performances of his career. And I don’t mind the Miami Vice vibe.

Out of the remaining options, I think Jugulator or Redeemer of Souls is my favourite. Not sure which. I think I'll play some tracks from each tonight before I decide.
Because the one I choose, I have a feeling I will be voting for it for several rounds from now on.

Actually this is where it gets a bit harder. I picked Point Of Entry for this round but honestly I don't own any of the remaining ones on this poll.

I am going with Ram It Down until the end of the poll!!!
Ram It Down. Remove the "Johnny B. Goode" cover and rerecord the drums with Scott Travis and boy howdy, you got a cracker of an album.

Point of Entry takes it. Ram It Down has had a loyal fan base but it just keeps getting 2nd place.

I like PoE a lot (Heading and Hot Rockin' are great) as it has 2 of my fave Priest songs in Desert Plains and Solar Angels but I feel that Ram is a better album overall and I have mad sentimentality for it as I remember getting as a new release. Also, I actually really like the Johnny B, Goode cover as I love the guitar tone on the tune.
