Years 1999 and 2000 became remarkable for metal maniacs. In 1999, Bruce Dickinson returned to Iron Maiden, and Rob Halford returned to the heavy metal music scene in 2000. He strayed off the course in 90's. He formed "Fight" and "Two", which were more modern, industrial, and alternative metal. However, after all of the wander, he returned to the pure metal. I still clearly remember the first time I heard this album, I got goose bumps from the first song when I heard his high tone scream. In the whole album, he plays pure metal that all of his fans expect of him.
From tracks 1 to 7, all of the songs ran through really quickly. The opening song is a killer tune, track 1, that reminds us songs such as "Painkiller". In track 2, we can hear his powerful mid-range voice. He talks about his life story in this song. Track 3 is a cool mid-tempo tune. Track 4 has beautiful chorus. Track 5 is very dramatic and progressive in some degree. After taking a breath for a moment, the album takes us to tracks 6 and 7. Halford collaborated with Bruce Dickinson on track 6. It's an extravagant song for all of metal fans. Track 7 is obviously inspired by "Electric Eye". Then, three mid-tempo songs come in row, so tension gets little loose here, but they kept quality of songs. At the end, they press us with two powerful tunes.
Overall, he played what he was expected from the fans. I could see some influence he had from what he had done in 90's. Nevertheless, it was well sublimed with "Judas Priest" style of heavy metal. Obviously, guitars were down tuned, but it did not bothered me at all. Two guitarists did wonderful job in this album. Perhaps, it is due to the fact that they grew up listening to "Judas Priest". All of heavy metal fans must have this record!
