As a listener, you must ask yourself the following
question before you run out and buy the new Judas Priest
album, Demolition: What am I expecting out of this
album? The answer will make all the difference in the world.
Demolition will disappoint all those
who were expecting a return to the old-style Halford-era
Judas Priest. It's a good modern Heavy Metal album, but
it's moody tone and mid-tempo songs will remind the listeners
of old Black Sabbath and Marilyn Manson before it reminds
them of "classic" Judas Priest. Gone are the dueling guitars
as well as most of the piercing high-pitched vocals in favor
of a darker, more "modern" sound. But my main problem with
this album is how repetitive it sounds. It lags on like
one long song.
Overall, Demolition lacks the fire
of previous Judas Priest releases and shows signs of a band
whose creativity has dwindled over the years -- nothing
a good dosage of "Halford" couldn't fix.
