 The Priest is back
I was hoping for more with the release. I think that Priest was trying to get some of their classic sound back on this disc, but somewhere they missed the boat. I like the first 3 songs and also Blood Suckers, but the rest are only average. I don't know if Glen Tipton can really write good songs on his own. His solo album blew, Jugulator was kinda clumsy by trying to be extemely brutal, and Demolition is too wrapped in old cliches. I think that Ripper should have had input on the songs and act as a buffer. He's the one that has to sing this stuff. I can't see him being 100% satisfied with this material.

 2nd release with the Ripper
Back from over years without a studio effort, but this album delivers the goods with Ripper Owens on vocals for his second album with priest. This album is heavy, and catchy wuth songs as Machine Man, One On One, This is a heavier priest album and a good one by far!!!!

 An underrated gem.
This is an underrated album. My point is that Demolition delivers the goods and has some really great moments. Panning this album because Rob Halford isn't on it is rediculous. It has three things that make it great. The commercial appeal of Feed on Me, Lost and Found, and Metal Messiah is one thing. The heaviness and songcraft of Machine Man, Bloodsuckers, Subterfuge, Hell Is Home, and One On One is another. It has all of the qualities to be a great album if promoted right. Sure some lyrics are silly but the whole genre of Heavy Metal is silly at times. A whole movie was made about how rediculous Metal music is. It's nothing worse than silly premise of past songs like Killing Machine, Hell Bent For Leather, Hell Patrol, or Painkiller. If you want a serious music go buy a Pete Townshend album. Take it for what it is, a good Heavy Metal album.

 Another step for Metal!
Just like Glenn always said that Priest tries to push the boundaries of Heavy Metal this release is no different. Definitly pick this up along with Slayer's God Hates Us All this is the best album of the last year. It's exciting to hear this music coming from guys who have been in the business for thirty years. Just look at the other bands that have been around that long. Nuff Said.

 Priest still know how to put out great music.
Ripper continues to show he can belt out great songs. They always are willing to try something new. The song writing is great and the guitars are always wailing and fresh. Will these guys ever get old? Not any time soon! New metal for a new era. Always buy Priest.
