One of my favourite rounds. I guess the way NP set this up, I'll keep getting a round every once in a while that particularly appeals to my taste.

Hunger Strike is an awesome tune. Great intensity despite the deliberate pace and the vocal performances kick ass.
System of a Down is another good one. Some real anger mixed in with cool tempo changes.
I liked the Candlebox song, relatively generic, but in a good way with a nice mid-section.
Halford doesn't dabble in dirty blues stuff much, but he sure handles it well in this one.
But the new best song in this game is Burnin For You. Great riffs, great groove, great solo and what a chorus.
Cool yet affecting, BOC at its best.
