Re-streamer of Souls: Listen to the New Judas Priest Album in Full Right Now!

Now’s your chance to hear the new Judas Priest album Redeemer of Souls, from which we’ve heard three full tracks already. It’s streaming in full via iTunes Radio.

Whatchoo think? Is it a return to form, or has the band run out of gas, a problem compounded by K.K. Downing’s departure?

Listening to it through now for the first time with all of you, I’m sticking with my original gut reaction: it’s not bad, but it isn’t great either. Kinda just feels like stock Judas Priest — some good moments, for sure, but no songs that really stick out.

Take a spin for yourself and let us know what you think. Redeemer of Souls comes out July 8th (pushed up from the original July 15th release date).
