FIREPOWER [CD]

Rob Halford is as metal as it gets. Judas Priest are the definition of heavy metal. At almost 70 years old we don't get the high octave singing we once did but that is expected and people I've seen doing reviews on other sites should quit complaining. What we do get is one of the greatest vocalists in the game. The band, minus KK, has had time now with his replacement R. Faulkner in the studio and live, on this album it shows how tight they have reached musically, it's truly a new level for the later albums. I'm not the fan many others are of Andy Sneaps production. It is much better production than Redeemer of Souls, but could have been better. I do think bringing Tom Allom in the fold on production was brilliant and a better album for it. Is this classic 5 star priest I'm giving it, I would say truly 4 and half strong. The cover art is excellent. To still have priest putting out this quality material at this time is incredible. I love this album, I love this band. Halford is amazing.

Judas priest back in all their glory and then some..gets ya stoked up

This CD is not bad but I do miss KK Downing. Richie fits in nicely, but coming from an old fan it's not the same to me. Miss the original lineup.

Love this CD. On heavy rotation in my car. Best CD in 20 years.

Phenomenal follow up CD! Very melodic and very heavy. The Priest is back!!

Nostradamus was a letdown. Redeemer of Souls was a big step in the right direction again. And now we get Firepower, an amazing album in every respect. The songwriting, performances, and production are top notch. A very inspired and sonically excellent presentation. Priest Fans of any era should enjoy this.

With age they seem to write better and play harder,goes to show how these metal veterans have forged their metal with this offering,simply epic and oozing metal.

If you are of a Judas Priest fan,then you already have this.You know. It's some of their best work In years!! Rob sounds better than ever and with the addition of Richie Faulkner on guitar, just takes It's to another level. If you love Metal get this album!!
