Judas Priest - Redeemer of Souls

After their interesting Nostradus concept album last time around, and considering Judas Priest's track record ever since Painkiller, I have always been worried and concerned about any new release they make. It was Halford's solo albums that really set the bar for what a hard sound JP should be aiming for, but equally I miss the style of metal sound they had on such albums as Defender of the Faith and British Steel. Hard hitting music without too much production and embellishment.

Here's hoping all the excitement and media push on this is worth the hyperbole.
