Judas Priest – Angel Of Retribution


Review# 56

This is one of those albums that is part kick-arse and half pants. Judas Is Rising, Deal With The Devil, Revolution, Demonizer are all solid tracks that are hooky and interesting. Unfortunately most of the rest of the album is lacking with songs like Worth Fighting For and Angel tending to be boring and have no impact whatsoever. Lochness would definitely benefit from having no lyrics and being solely an instrumental.

To be honest its hard to write about this album since it is so hit and miss. None of the songs really wind me up to rant about, except some of the lyrics to Lochness maybe, and the enjoyable tracks are not exactly the best things priest have ever done and while they are good they are not Breaking The Law or Painkiller. If you are looking at getting into Priest try British Steel or Painkiller first then give this a whorl.

  1. I remember thinking Angel was actually pretty awesome in the context of a Priest ballad.
