I have every single Judas Priest CD and this is the best one yet. I can't say I have been with them since the begining, after all i am only 17. I like their heavy stuff better and this is the heaviest yet. Ripper is coming into his own, developing his own style, one that compliments KK and Glenn even better than Halford ever did. Halford was the king, but the king is dead, long live Ripper and Priest. Without a doubt a must buy for any Priest fan or anyone who likes metal.
