Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

if you're watching this and think he was gonna give this a 9 or 10, i'm sorry, but you've got another thing coming.
someone had to.
Well played.
Hey I’m happy with an 8, 8 is great
If you love Judas Priest so much name a song besides Enter Sandman
Yellow Submarine, bitch.
Come As You Are

"One of the best heavy metal albums of the decade"
"Near flawless"
"Literally nothing vocally on this record I have a problem with"
"8/10"
Bruh.
At least a 9
To be fair, he said that specifically in reference to Rob Halford’s singing, there were some tracks he seemed to be less psyched about than others
@Lord Takyon both is right
Y’all ignored the end, it was predictable in light of previous albums, but still very well executed
It's not death grips though
Judas Priest in 2018 getting an 8/10 from Anthony Fantano. We're living in the best timeline.
Good one, maybe i didn't lol'd, but a small smile appeared on my face. Not the worst joke.
Slightly better than the 7/10 he gave lil pump
That album cover is cool as hell
reminds me of Screaming for Vengeance
@@DumbVidsIMadeForAlex reminds me of a mix of defenders, painkiller and screaming for vengeance
I think I can agree
It would rather say more fitting and living up to its name, but for another album I would be happy with something in the vein of SWOD or Sin after Sin album
Agreed one of the cleanest metal covers in a long time 💯
it is mind blowing what Priest created with this one, after 50 years in the business ... Halford is amazing
"At nearly 50 years old as a band, Judas Priest has just released not
only a late career highlight, but one of the greatest heavy metal
albums of the decade" - This should be atleast a 9 based on this
It's just his feeling of enjoyment but yeah he sounds like it gives him a fat 9 on that level but who cares, the compliments are what really say it.
Nah, a 9 or 10 means the album is pushing boundaries and is doing something new while also being a fantastic album on top of that. This album is just fantastic, and Fantano literally said it was predictable and he felt a couple songs were eh. So this is clearly an 8. Surprisingly fantastic coming from the oldest metal bands still out right now, but nothing more.
He’s likely talking about traditional heavy metal, which (with the exception of many older bands) has been pretty much dead at this point
Judas Priest is the best boy band since before boy bands
Dr. Duck the Beatles would like a word with you
The Rockingbird changes nothing to me
Judas Priest is the best boy band since Brockhampton
BROCKHAMPTON would like a word with you

Aside from melon’s rant about Judas being Jesus’s worst disciple, pretty good review
CezaMVO Jesus’ disciples: WORST to BEST
JUDAS PRIEST WORST TO BEST WHEN
wysbro1984 switch 6 and 4
wysbro1984 Ram it Down is way too low. At leat it's better than Retribution and Nostradamus
1. Defenders of the faith
2. Painkiller
3. FirePower
4.Screaming for vengeance
5. Killing machine
6. Sad Wings
7. Stained class
8. Sin after sin
9. British steel
10. Jugulator
11. Nostradomus
12. Demolition
13. Angel of Retribution
14. Ram it down (i Still absolutely love this album)
15. Rocka rolla
16. Turbo
17. Redeemer
18. Point of Entry
this is my own personal ranking
Sad Wings of Destiny > Defenders of the Faith > Painkiller > Everything else
@Doodle Bob Sad Wings of Destiny should be 1 without debate.
Finally, melon reviews this album.
Your presence on every video I watch haunts me.
Why the fuck do I see you in every Fantano video
Even Speedwagon gets a top comment on every melon video
I’m sorry for that lazy joke
There's a starman waiting in the sky trash singer of a fire band. Could never stand the singer since I was a kid corny as hell and still to this day don’t like him so sad since the instrumentals of this band have always been amazing
maroonblood151 fuck off. Try and sing like rob Halford then spout your shit.
Best album since PAINKILLER. NO DEBATE.
is that really saying much?
No, Angel and Redeemer were awsome you mediocre opinioned fanboy
*jugulator. I love em both
@@adrianshephard378 opinion that I disagree with = mediocre

you have been really unpredictable with your 8s this year
You made it sound like you were almost gonna give it a light 10. Or at least a strong 9
An 8 from Fantano means it's fucking fantastic, but doesn't do anything new or is really culturally significant. Like he says it's a "predictable Judas Priest album" and felt eh on a couple tracks as well, anyways, so there wasn't any way this album was gonna get a 10.
9/10 for sure.
Rob's vocal range is not as vast as it used to be, but he uses it well and keeps it from flying off the rails.
Sounds more like a strong 9 to me...
lelabotoxique i thought he was gonna give it a strong 9, hell a light 9 at least
Seriously. From the way he went on about it I was thinking for sure it might even be his next 10. Dude was losing his mind over this thing and then he throws out an 8 at the end? wtf? I haven't listened to this album, so there's no personal bias here. Just sounds like he enjoyed it past a "decent 8"...
This is what listening to too much trap does to you
Considering Judas Priest were competition with some of metal’s greatest I’d assume Melon has a higher expectations of them but I’m not the internet’s busiest music nerd so what the fuck do I know
Internet's busiest cock tease.
WOW I thought he was going to say what he always says when a "veteran" band comes out with a new album. "Do I really need to review this?" But you gave this an 8!!! That is awesome!
Renato Contreras well, you can't say something else about this Album. Even someone like me, who never listen to Judas Priest says, its pretty good
Dude spoiler alert
+Nix Garnix yeah lol
+TheManOfSteel89 :(
And he honestly sounds like he enjoys it above an 8. It's not game changing, but it shows why the game still needs to exist. A Classic.
Incredible album..I'm a long time fan and this is easily the best release they have made in the last 20 years. Like you said Painkiller is a classic but I think this is equal to if not slightly better. 9 out of 10

Rob Halford is a metal god! HELL BENT FOR LEATHER
Márk Mikolay \m/
THE metal god
Judas Priest are one of the most underrated bands of all time. Most don't ever consider them up there as being the best heavy metal band of all time but they just might be. Not only are they most consistent bands going but they are easily one of the most influential.... They single handedly created Speed metal, made leather and studs a stable in the metal scene, popularised twin guitars and now they come back with one of their best albums after over 40 years of being together.... How do they not get called the best?!
People prefer proggy bands kinda Iron Maiden (not prog in fact)
It’s amazing bands that were inspired by priest (and become bigger) are making mediocre albums. And Priest is still going strong and beating the bands that inspired them and outpaced them in popularity.
coff coff megadeth coff
How is this possible. How the hell they have done this. This album is freaking amazing. My mind was blown when i heard this album. Holy shit..
Its there seconds best album in my opinion.
Agree, they are gods among men. If your 1st is painkiller I agree, damn man hell patrol, metal meltdown and oc painkiller itself is some of the best metal songs ever.
I am a JP fan, but 2nd? Dear God! on my chart I ranked that No. 6 and thats very very high. Nevertheless F is an amazing album for sure
I love their song highway to hell
Saint Emory that’s Iron Maiden idiot
mccann rolling stones
mccann i was about to make a comment on how triggered you were until i remembered it was written by Stoner doom metal legends Cannibal Corpse

Rüdiger Hund stop bullying him hes adorable (saying this so he doesnt put a curse on me)
This album is fucking brilliant! I can't believe how good this album is.
>best heavy metal album of the decade
>8
What in the actual fuck, Anthony.
I mean, traditional heavy metal has been past it's prime for like 40 years.
IWANTMYBREAKFASTNOW lol name another heavy metal album in the past decade thats been better than an 8/10
Andrew Fowler Meliora by Ghost
And The Satanist, from 2014, got a 9
Both albums by Satan. David Djent I think he meant Heavy metal as in the subgenre of metal and not metal in general
This album is better than all Metallica albums Since 1995 Combined.
Edit 2 years later : WHY THE FUCK DID I SAY THIS?? fuck was wrong with me back then
You re totally right, Amirmasoud
Unfortunately you're right.
yeah cause there like what 2?
hornswoggle lover39 4
Not a chance. That time period includes 2 decent and 2 great albums (out of 5 total). Metallica take way more shit than they deserve.
Firepower is probably better than any of those on their own, though.
the internet's busiest music *NERD!*
Nate Alyn clout chasing ?
You could pick on any comment but you choose this one
been a fan of Fantano since 2012
didnt expect u to be here
Nate Alyn oh boy hello their
I really can't believe how good this album was, very pleasantly surprised
YES! Keep up the metal reviews. Last year was a little quiet from you in terms of metal reviews.
seriously after ive listened to this a few times i gotta ditch my favorism for iron maiden cause they havent given out jack shit of quality the last 15 years. All hail the priest!
Yeah Maiden's left me cold too.
Rob Halford is still amazing vocal wise, even in his 60's
Thank you Fantano for reviewing this album. Also nice pun at the end. I felt devastated when Glenn Tipton revealed his condition. But Judas Priest has inspired me a lot in music. Keep it up Melon.
"One of the greatest metal albums of the decade"
"8/10"
Wasn't even remotely expecting this good of a rating for a new Judas Priest record.
Colm Wykoff tbf no one was expecting the new Priest album to be anywhere near as good as it is
@@ZeusNoTenshi After 4 yrs I have to say it really is a great album. One of the best of the 2010's era
This album is literally one of the most "What the fuck" I've seen in years. This caught me off guard with how fucking killer this is. I listened to like 3 tracks on Spotify and was like "Yeah, this will be dogshit." Nope. Pretty god damn good.
Tyler Blair yeah I know. Big Judas Priest fan but not too fussed with post reunion albums though I gave listened to them and seen them live. This was a bit wtf?! Actually decent songs not just by the numbers, well done but generic stuff. It's not a titan like their classic albums but a great late career album.
Review the new album
I hate that artist.
Review the new album
I think he already did
Issa light to decent 4
review the new song
Just saw them in New Jersey on tour. They even had Glenn Tipton come on stage and play some stuff from British Steel. Breaking the Law was outrageous when he came up.
Priest has come back from the dead and released genre defining albums out of nowhere three times now. British Steel revitalized their career and then gain on Pain Killer ten years later.
Here because Anthony isn’t reviewing the new Judas Priest album ‘Invincible Shield’
He did lol
> one of the greatest heavy metal albums of the decade
> 8/10
Background: Halford wants to do black metal with Nergal.
Great album by one of Metal's forefathers - Priest IS Metal 🤘
This album is modern day heavy metal masterpiece
One of the best from the band. Right up there with screaming for vengeance
I saw their last concert in America with my dad in San Antonio as my first concert and is one of the greatest moments ever
>describes it as “One of the best heavy metal albums of the decade”
>at the time of recording, the decade was 8 and a half years already though
>8/10
you’re a very interesting man anthony
I like when Fantany likes music
his enthusiasm is really infectious
Didn't know about this album, it's damn good. I have downloaded and listened to it twice since seeing the title for this video. What an album
We need a 2018 headphone + audio set up video Anthony. WE NEED IT
Is that a new Brockhampton merch shirt I see...?
Michelle Zunino he’s worn it in multiple videos.
ploob man oh damn I thought I'd only seen it one other time a few weeks ago 😬 my bad ✌️
I literally listened to Judas Priest for the first time 12 hours ago 🤘🏾
Nate Alyn what did you think?
Dale r find out on my channel! I filmed the whole thing!
What are you ? like 12?
I hope that you listened to something classic from Judas Priest, and not this boring crapfest that i don't get why everybody loves...
Invocated Agitator I listened to Painkiller and filmed my reaction
I just listened to this album, and there is not a single bad track on it. I am so happy for my dad, who loves this band with all of his heart. Incredible.
JTVA ebin
Really don't like Flamethrower tbh. Other then that a couple songs that really aren't that memorable but don't really detract from the experience either. Overall I really like this new record a lot more than Redeemer Of Souls.
tominatorxx Flame thrower is one of the best lmao
Well I completely disagree with that. It's a dull track imo.
How did this album escape me until now!? Giving it a listen, this thing is beauty in motion. I never minded alot of their late stuff. I liked Redeemer of Souls, didn't mind Angel of Retribution and Nostradamus was actually surprising to me in it's ambition. This however? Holy mother! This is the best metal they've shredded since Painkiller in my opinion.
The energy in this album is just so unreal. It reminds me of a compliment a friend of mine once gave that went something like "It's like every song is written and performed as if it were their last" and that is the kind of feel that albums like this and Painkiller give. They have no time for calming down, their on a mission to blow the lid off every preceding high and out-do everything you have heard and will hear for the rest of the week with every track.
When it comes to the vocals of Judas Priest, my favorite way to describe Rob Halford's charisma as a vocalist is as if you are hearing the sermon of a harbinger of all-encompassing evil. He screeches words of terror, doom and suffering as we, the audience, feel an almost hypnotic draw in his words as we cheer him on and relish his word.
Favorite album of the year so far, man. Was NOT expecting the kind of quality we got.
Unexpected review, since you didnt review their last two releases
+Liam Williams Both of them were meh albums anyway. I'm not surprised Fandingo overlooked them
ScoopMeisterGeneral yeah true, Redeemer of Souls was like a 5

Great review and Spectre is already one of my favorite songs by Judas Priest and easily my favorite song of 2018 to date. Such an epic comeback.
Spectre is one of my fav metal songs too (not only from Priest) and it is kinda INSTANT CRANK UP HEAD FUCK
Black Label Society released an album 4 years back, this year as a greatest hits I believe, and Ozzy is finally doing a farewell tour? Though granted musicians do a lot of reunion tours.
It's a good year for metal
melon looks extra cute today 😍
Jeremaine Cheong Honeydew Fantano
Afronymous dude you’re fucking weird and annoying shut the fuck up
so true
Hope your going to the Judas Priest show tonight at Mohegan Sun.
As always, I appreciate your analysis
*YES MELON GIVES JUDAS AN 8 SO TASTY*
I can't believe how good Rob Halford sounds on this album. Seems the hype is correct.
I like this album and it's really impressive they can still do this well but unfortunately one of the guitarists can no longer perform due to Parkinsons , on the bright side this band has had one hell of a run for years and years
THIS ALBUM IS AWESOME!
When is that mount eerie review coming out melon boi
nick ikr ffs melon
Judas Priest + 🔥Power = 8
MORE METAL REVIEWS, FANTANO, WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
This album is just gold.
You got another thing coming!
Why are you quoting ACDC on this video?
TheWanderingBard I'm guessing you didn't know that the song is by Judas Priest not AC/DC, hence the video.
trdidion .....uhhhhhhhhh
Damn I thought this album was def an outlier for a modern release from an old school metal band but still surprised by how hyped fantano was about it
No wonder its simply Judas Priest....everything they did is looked at with a lot of attention
the most 10/10 sounding 8/10 review ever
Picked up the album for 20 bucks while on a work trip. It's a great album!
You should consider doing more classic reviews
All I’m getting from this review is that Judas Priest is the Best Boyband
BROCKHAMPTON IS THE BEST BOI BAND
Love the way you review metal albums..just wish you did more of this style of genre...keep up the awesome work..
Firepower is a record that makes me proud to be a metalhead in 2018

Made me chuckle.
There's only Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio and Bobby Blitz from Overkill who've kept it going for 40 years or more without losing anything, at least that I can think of. Crazy consistency from Halford.
Loved the new album !! Firepower is amazing!!!
Give us your predictions on Year of the Snitch
I saw them Live at Wilkes Berra for the opening of this tour.. They sounded Better Live doing cuts off "Firepower" than on the Album... I was Truly amazed by Halford's vocals ..It was a flashback to his mid 1980's prowess...
Saw Priest live a few months ago, and Rob sounds as good as he's ever sounded.
Heaven and Hell is the best traditional metal album I have ever heard. Every thing you liked about this album was perfected around 40 years ago.

Agreed Maidens Brave New World is one of the best classic metal combacks ever after dodgy periods...Sabbath's 13 was similarly a fantastic surprise....love it... apologies to all true metal fans but never understood the likes of Megadeath and Judas Priest....one day I may grow up....but to me Maiden do this form of metal so well musically and lyrically that other similar bands just sound like wallpaper in comparison....
wow this is genuinely surprising.
Ben Sparks I honestly thought this get a red flannel... I feel like the vocals killed a lot of the tracks on here
Stainedtony Classtano
To me it's the first awesome album they've released since Painkiller. Took them a while but they nailed it.
It makes me happy when old bands and artists that has classics from 20-30-40 years ago and has made alot of bad albums in the newer years make a great album :)
Agreed 8 out of 10 it's amazing
Anthony I'm literally gonna flip a desk when is the fucking mount eerie review coming out
I saw Judas Priest live in, I wanna say 2008, and was completely blown away by his voice, he was doing acapella echoes with the audience for 10 minutes at one point and its one of the most memorable concert moments for me. I thought the same thing as you then, and even more-so now, his vocals have not been effected by father time in the least, not only that but they have gotten better, and better, and better. His voice has a thickness now that it never had, but its not changed an octave like Bruce Dickinson's has. Still as impressive range as ever.
