Segue Myles Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I feel any coming arguing about "which album is better" regarding the last two is kinda redundant. For a band who released one classic after another for ages, can we all just agree...two albums of this majesty one after the other is cause for celebration 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like "some people rate this super high very quickly" It's too early to know for sure which of these two is best. However, I can't see this album aging poorly. I think both will be seen as career highs amongst all the other classics. It's what you call a one two punch of greatness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 This is a solid metal album. I've played it 3 times in a row today and it is very strong. I'm seeing them live next week and I hope they promote this album strongly. They should do, it's something to be proud of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a but surreal to think this is where they are fifty years into their career. you know at this point i feel like even if your a casual fan and you've heard like 4 albums. you should just rank whatever your heart feels at that moment. if it's yourr fav say it. you could always change later after some plays. that's what i've been doing. i said firepower was top 5 like a week or two in. that's generous it was top in less than that, lol and if i was gonna switch it then i was gonna switch it. but it's how i felt in the moment. and it just so happens it held true 4 years on. yes you need to time for things to settle but if it's your fav right off say it. if it sucks right off say it. yes the astonishing was my number 2. cause that's the way i felt. but it changed.

Mick Absolutely agree. I struggle to rate anything out of 10 these days. Why? An album could be utterly perfect...but I sneakily prefer a clearly lesser affair. Example: I prefer Point Of Entry to Painkiller, but Painkiller is better. My most played Rush album is Roll The Bones. Its not their best 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Anyone notice the "jazz-funk" chorus to Serpent and the King? Like 70's Lalo Schifrin it's got some kind of exotic chord working in there, DIRTY HARRY AND THE KINNNNNGGGG, DIRTY HARRY AND THE KING-ING!" Or maybe it's a Starsky and Hutch groove, like a tribute to David Soul?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 You know I don't think I've seen a single post about this record that has anything other than admiration for it. Has any new album been so universally loved on here before? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALSO ALSO i'm too engrossed in Zappa land that anything uh....normal i might scoff at right now. Mick Edited March 10 by bluefox4000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate it at all, or Demolition. Every Time I ever play either, I think they are okay. Nothing to get overly excited about, but I do think Cathedral Spires is one of the best Priest songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the best songs on Jugulator are Cathedral Spires and Jugulator but they didn't play either of them live which makes no sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are playing my home town in May and I very much want to see them but wondering who will be opening. No, I don't have tickets yet. Last time Queensryche (who I had never seen) opened for them. Hoping its another group I have never seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find his opinions mostly annoying, and he speaks the most basic facts like it's the cleverest thing ever spoken aloud.
