Judas Priest's 'Angel Of Retribution' is what Priest fans have been waiting more than a decade for. Fortunately, they have not been disappointed. The album is powerful, driven and classic. Lyrical themes Priest utilized in the 70's through 90's are apparent, and the musical structure is as classic as can be. With every new album, Judas Priest takes a step forward, always improving their sound and upping the ante; 'Retribution' is absolutely no exception. The album produced two singles, 'Worth Fighting For', a ballad similar to 'Desert Plains', yet sung in a new vocal range, and 'Revolution', a 'Breaking The Law'-esque track that was clearly intended for the radio. Songs like 'Judas Rising', 'Demonizer', 'Angel' and 'Hellrider' shine, and the other tracks support them nicely. Though 'Lochness' goes on slightly longer than it probably should have, it will eventually grow on you and you'll learn to accept it like any other Priest song. The album is top-notch metal - Priest has still got it. Unfortunately, the DualDisc format is terrible. For one, it doesn't play in all CD players. It is very easily scratched, especially when put into CD holders or CD binders, and the content isn't even quite as good. The DVD side includes a documentary with the live tracks melded into it, with no way to seperately watch the various songs. Though it does, however include the album remastered in Dolby, it's just not enough to make up for the DualDisc blasphemy. I would give Angel Of Retribution a 5/5, but Angel Of Retribution [DualDisc] gets only a 4/5. I highly recommend you purchase the Digipack.Read full review
A real treat w/ a 2 sided disc, the extra side being an interview and performance on tour.

I can't say enough good about this CD. And in the new Dual Disc format, it makes 200% better than the regular issue. The long awaited return of Rob Halford was well worth the wait. This is classic Priest all the way with a great heavy sound all through the album. These guys rock harder than ever on this Masterpuiece of metal. 5 out of 5 all the way on this great Metal release.

Priest has always been a favorite of mine! After hearing the Rising in The East DVD and most especially Worth Fighting For,I thought there might be another hidden gem.Save your money here and just splurge on the Rising in the East DVD.All of the best is there,the sound is great, and you can watch the GREAT Scott Travis in action! He IS Special! If you want a CD though,this IS a good one!
