Free Music Review: The Harley Has Been Tuned!
Hit: 5 Stars

'Resurrection' has to be one of the most powerful songs ever emitted from Halford's mouth. The song becomes more powerful when you check out the lyrics in the sleeve. It's a tune about the past music in Halford's life and his resurrection to what he has now...an amazing heavy metal band! This song and all remaining songs have great reflections of Priest from the past. It seems that the least preferred tune by most reviewers is 'Cyberworld'. Although the title sounds a little soft, Halford adds some pretty rough lyrics. In addition, the chorus is just fantastic! Temptation, has vocal swings that remind me of 'Bloodstone'..."you took my heart and left it blown to smithereens...and left my body..."...(you get the hint). 'Drive' has a thump that reminds me of Iron Maiden, although the lyrics are a bit dull. 'Made In Hell' pumps from start to finish. The lyrics are great! Halford has always been great at writing songs about Heavy Metal as a lifestyle. It works on this tune! The guitar riff is heavy as can be! Silent Screams' is a Halford vocal classic...pounding lows, highs, mids,..he sounds fantastic. As the song picks up speed, it draws you inside. 'Temptation' is great! I almost didn't like this song initially, and, now I love it! Halford continuously screeches in the background and the power of the song makes you wanna lip sinc in the mirror like a metal star..ha ha! Come on..you've done it! 'Savior' is a solid tune that is pretty much an autobiography. Explaining how Halford has saved us from the horrible sounds of the bands of today (I won't mention any names like KID ROCK because I'd prefer not to offend anybody). Don't forget...Iron Maiden is saving us too with 'Brave New World'...a great CD! 'The One You Love To Hate', sung with Bruce Dickinson, is a powerful song that grows on you fast. It's nice to hear these two metal vocalists duel it out on this tune. I think Halford wins, although Bruce puts up a good fight! 'Nightfall' sounds like a Van Halen tune for the first 5-seconds, but, turns into a '(Take These) Chains' sound. The vocals are decent, and, the chorus makes this a more enjoyable song. Great guitars too! KK and Glenn who? ha ha! 'Slow Down' is a heavy, rhythmic tune that embodies a pretty good chorus and some great tenor from Halford! Damn, this CD is great! 'Twist' and 'Drive' are my least favorite songs on the CD. The music and voice are very good on both songs, but..bottom line...they're a bit weaker than the rest. A small amount wimpy. It may take some time to really get into these. I'll try. I promise.

Thanks for a great CD Mr. Halford! I saw you in NYC and look forward to your show in Camden, NJ.
