Where is it great? There are some excellent songs and some real strong songs but for the most part it's a very safe album for a comeback disc with a lot of weak material. Loch Ness is possibly one of the worst metal songs ever written, easily the worst Priest song.

Oh, I am looking forward to the new disc... Angel of Retribution might not have been the greatest disc, but its far from unlistenable. Granted the best track on the disc is Judas Rising. Fucking hell was I let down when I heard that and thought "Damn, this disc might kick a lot of ass..." and then it tore off in a different direction after that.

Judas Rising, Deal With the Devil, Worth Fighting For, Demonizer, Wheels of Fire, Angel, Hellrider, and half of Loch Ness are all very good.

So everything but Revolution.

What Pate said. Revolution sounds like it belongs in British Steel. I enjoyed this album as much as I enjoyed Iron Maiden's Brave New World, if you know what I mean.

Also, the tour is now official.
Looks like JP is headlining.
Also, this tour will be hits, 2009 tour will be Nostradamus in its entirety.
Looks like this will be the show to hit!
Nothing against JP, I am not big enough of a fan to want to see them if they are only performing the new album.

I'd rather see the full album, but if they're headlining I can understand doing the hits.
