14 songs are too much for Priest in 2018 imo but song bangs anyway

Song is pretty solid but I'm worried about the length of the album. These guys have been releasing overlong albums for 20 years now with the exception of Angel of Retribution maybe.

Song's solid (3/3.5). Rob remains a great singer.

@manosg
Cheers man, I think the song is called Lightning Strike, it's not the title track.

Thanks Notrap! Working and writing for Sput at the same time, I'm glad that I didn't make an even worse mistake haha.

sounds like primal fear [2]

...and that is not exactly a compliment.

The bridge is cringeworthy German Power Metal-like.

Not completely horrible thou and Rob still has it.

"halford is my dad"

*one of my dads

But seriously though, pretty solid song. I agree the album needs to be cut short.

His voice sounds fantastic. Amazing longevity. Him and Bruce Dickinson really kept their voices well.

song's okay. good feel, lame chorus, overall it neither stoked my enthusiasm nor dulled it. Halford can still sing but they gotta give Travis something more interesting to do than play two fills a song.

Pretty good. Halford sounds a bit better than in Redeemer of Souls.

Sounds more promising than I'd ever expect a band as aged as Priest to be for their 18th album. Even from an objective standpoint it's pretty solid (great guitar/vocal combo). I'm interested.

Song is really nice. Way better than anything off the last album save Halls of Vahalla. They sound like they have energy again, and they don't really need Halford's high pitched wails to pull that off (although they are not unwelcome).

Also, that video is so obviously parsed together from unrelated songs that it made me laugh.

it's not like Primal Fear were formed by the guy who finished second to Ripper for the Priest frontman job or anything

It sounds a bit more like a power metal band such as Gamma Ray than what I expect from Priest, but I dig it.

Gamma Ray would have written a better chorus though
