    JUDAS PRIEST ALBUM RANKING GAME: #7 REVEALED

    Yes, I actually started listening to Priest in 2008. When I started my metal journey Somewhere Back In Time was the new Iron Maiden release, Metallica was releasing Death Magnetic, and I discovered Priest with Nostradamus so I probably have an emotional connection to this album, not gonna lie...

    JUDAS PRIEST ALBUM RANKING GAME: #7 REVEALED

    I will forever defend Nostradamus as my favourite Judas Priest album. Its a different beast to all the other slightly more easily digestable albums, but Nostradamus has always been such an experience front to back for me. So many melodic interludes where the songs can expand, breathe, where...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Mandrake Project is tough. I feel like every time I listen to it I like it, and I feel like I should like it more as a whole, there are great individual songs and parts, but overall it feels a little disjointed. I sadly think it's in sixth place right now, but maybe it could climb a little when...

    That was a brilliant breakdown, and a pleasure to read. Pointing out a lot of stuff I heard as well, and a few things I didn't. Especially love the music theory part of it, like the modes used, and harmonies etc.

    Bruce Dickinson

    I found it interesting that it's the exact same vocal take in the intro to If Eternity Should Fail and Eternity Has Failed. You could line them up in a DAW to confirm it. It still feels very different because of the different instrumentation, and different reverbs and delays, but the fact...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Wow, Shadow Of The Gods is majestic, the best song on the album right now for me. The low vocals in the verses are beautiful, the orchestration and pianos in the first part are great, the chorus is big and bombastic, and that Tyranny Of Souls-esque second part is ferocious. A 7 minute song with...

    BRUCE DICKINSON ALBUM RANKING: FULL RANKING REVEALED

    I still remember "discovering" this album. I had listened and lived with all of Maiden and all of Bruces catalogue for years, but think I had only listened to this album once and for some reason discarded it. Anyway, I remember sitting in the car one afternoon and listening through this entire...

    Bruce Dickinson

    I'm 2 listens through. First listen, not gonna lie, I felt a little disappointed. Maybe it's the hype you've built in your own head for so long, the expectations of what you want it to be. But after the first listen I now gave it a second listen, and it's massively improving. Love the big...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Was messaging a little with Philip after I saw he was the new touring guitarist, as he's a relative of mine. Mostly just congratulated him on getting the job, he obviously couldn't or didn't wanna say to too much, but I was jokingly nudging him to include Book Of Thel in the set, and he said he...
