Sorry, Priest is my favorite band of all time, but this album is absolute garbage. However, this is not the fault of Owens who didn't have a lot to do with the songwriting, which is where they fail. Between this and the other Ripper album, it shows that neither Tipton or Downing can write on their own. While Painkiller was also a heavy album, it had the traditional Priest sound. This was heavy for the sake of being heavy with nothing memorable. The only decent track is Funeral Spires.
