Is that new Judas Priest? Sounds great. Love the album cover too.

Yep, got the Deluxe version of the album the day it came out. I like it a lot, best album since Painkiller for me.

thanks for posting that!

 

i've been a fan since their very early days,,,,,,,

I remember when Unleashed in the East came out 35 years ago (1979).

Played it till I wore it out.

It was the band's No.1 selling album when it was released. Green Manalishi, Exciter, Diamonds and Rust, Sinner, Victim of Changes.

It was all good. Between Sabbath's, We Sold Our Souls for Rock-n-Roll, Rush's, 2112 and Unleashed in the East, I think I had one of them on my stereo at some point in the day.

Unleashed In The East was the window to the older Priests songs, then came Brittish Steel and the awesome 80s era.

 

I eventually went back and got the 70s studio albums, they are all great.

I almost got suspended from school for refusing to remove mine !

I was never really a fan and never paid them much mind...

 

Then I realized (into my 40's) that what became their signature song, off that album; "Green Manalishi" was a Peter Green song from Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac circa 1970 and I instantly had more respect for them and decided they must be better than I've given them credit for as that to me shows some true musical foresight and reverence. I am only now exploring more of their music...

Sure but a lot of fans did not think Defenders of the Faith measured up to Screaming for Vengeance back in the day.

 

I like the new album a lot, i put it on the "like" pile. If you have the opportunity listen to the whole thing.

 

I wish they hadn't ruin the sound of it but that's just too f***ing much to ask these days.

your memory is sharp because I remember feeling like the only human that thought Defenders was a great album.....I wasn't meaning ill on the new album, just feeling nostalgic.

I liked it too, it took me a little bit to assimilate it since it was different but to me it is a classic. I still have the vinyl and it is worn from playing it over and over.

I agree with what your saying Jimi Mac.

The first time I heard Diamond's and Rust by the band, knowing that it wasn't an original song, I thought, "Wow, how innovative."
