	KNAC.COM - Reviews - Judas Priest Angel of Retribution
		The documentary portion of Angel of Retribution is roughly 40 minutes long, and there is dialogue from the band interspersed with the various live performances—the best of which is a performance of “Diamonds and Rust” which is almost worth the purchase of Angel of Retribution alone.
		Angel of Retribution would have been a cool album as a mediocre follow-up to Defenders of the Faith, or as a half-hearted apology for Turbo.
		Angel of retribution sounds alot like early priest and this album gets a 9 out of 10 for me to hell with this morons review.

	Judas Priest: Angel of Retribution - PopMatters Music Review
		The acoustic "Angel" is a nice touch, as Priest revisits the mellower sounds of their groundbreaking 1976 album Sad Wings of Destiny, but the biggest surprise on the record is the fantastic "Worth Fighting For", a midtempo rocker that hearkens back to the radio-friendly Point of Entry album from 1981.
		As good as Angel of Retribution's first 35 or 40 minutes is, it comes close to completely crash-landing, first on the maudlin "Eulogy", and then on the 13 minute epic "Lochness".
		Angel of Retribution isn't quite the earth-shattering record many had hoped for, but it's still a very welcome return to form by one of the world's most beloved metal bands.

	Blogcritics.org: Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution
		Angel of Retribution, in stores March 1, 2005, is the 16th studio album by Judas Priest in 28 years and features the return of original vocalist Rob Halford, last heard on 1990's Painkiller.
		"Angel Of Retribution" according to the band members' own words is the second (and final) part of 1976's "Sad Wings Of Destiny" which, yeah as obvious as it can get, was sort of a "concept" kind of thing after all.
		AoR should be seens as one of the top metal/rock albums of their year simply because Priest with Halford are so much better than just about anyone else.

	Encyclopaedia Metallum - Reviews for Judas Priest - Angel Of Retribution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Angel of Retribution is a solid album featuring something for every Judas Priest fan, from the classic sound of Sad Wings of Destiny, to the metal assault of Painkiller, and even a taste of British Steel.
		AoR is a record that is aimed for the long time Priest fan, which is all things considered the way it should be and probably the only way to go because Priest's reputation has suffered over the years with the mainstream.
		Angel of Retribution is cheesy at times, poorly thought-out at others, even laughable ("Conjures up an ageless spell/guarded by the sentinel" in a ballad ferthaluvvagawd) but it rises above (on sad wings or something) this to be their best record since 1984.

	JUDAS PRIEST - Angel Of Retribution - METAL DREAMS REVIEW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Despite those two ‘ok-for-another-band-but-not-for-Priest’ albums, it is 1990’s Painkiller, the last Halford-sung album, that Angel of Retribution will be most closley compared to by fans and critics alike.
		“Angel” is a mellow, acoustic ballad, but is actually quite good and provides far more intensity than “Wheels of Fire.” “Hellrider” gets things going again with yet another metallic motorcycle song, but in my opinion is just a lackluster rip-off of “Nightcrawler.” Weak spot #2.
		The only bad thing about it is that it follows too soon after “Angel.” Album closer “Lochness” leaves nothing to the imagination as to its subject matter, and at over 13 minutes it provides a lot of metal and a lot of solos.

	Cd Review - Angel Of Retribution
		Angel Of Retribution is Judas Priest's first new album, with Rob Halford on vocals, since the release of Painkiller in 1991.
		I'm a MAJOR Judas Priest fan, as a matter of fact, they've always been my favorite band, and with all the hype and anticipation of the new album, I was kind of worried if the band could pull it off.
		While it is not a horrible song, I think the band could have come up with something better to close the album off with.

	Orlando Weekly - Music Review - Angel of Retribution
		Thus, expectations were muted for Angel of Retribution, the first album with Halford since Painkiller, the 1990 attempt at speed-metal modernism.
		It's equally clear that Angel luxuriates in an in-the-pocket comfort that comes from musicians who are completely at ease with the strictures of their own style.
		Fifteen years is a long time to hold a grudge, and, with Angel of Retribution, it looks like Priest is asking our forgiveness for their sins.

	Tower Records - Angel Of Retribution [CD & DVD] [Digipak] - Judas Priest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Angel is classic early to mid-80’s JP, mixed with the vicious textures of Painkiller and Demolition.
		A.O.R. isn’t their best but it is the right record- heavy metal propelled by Scott Travis’s drumming and Ian Hill’s groove-oriented bass work, showcasing the guitar swashbuckling of Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing.
		Angel Of Retribution is not great- with the expectations put upon it, it never could have been- but it is a strapping effort, the equal of Painkiller.

	Judas Priest - Angel Of Retribution : album review
		If you close your eyes while listening to Angel Of Retribution you'll feel like you were back in their early 80s heyday, it's mostly that good.
		Angel slows the pace down considerably but it is as effective as the underrated and obscure Prisoner Of Your Eyes.
		Angel Of Retribution shows that after more than a decade apart the band still have that unique gel that produced some of metal's most brilliant work and the album's superb artwork recalls the classic 1977 Sad Wings Of Destiny album.

		Angel of Retribution is the new album from the recently reunited classic line-up of vocalist Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, bassist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis.
		The new album was co-produced by Roy Z and Judas Priest, and represents the first time that this incarnation of the quintet has entered the studio and engaged in a recording session since 1990's Painkiller.
		Angel of Retribution is a superb record, and there is no denying that.

		Most of the optimism surrounding Angel of Retribution stems from the fact that it is the first album with Halford since 1990’s Painkiller, considered by many fans (although not this one) as one of the band’s finest hours.
		Angel of Retribution may not match Painkiller, but it destroys Ram it Down and Turbo, making it, save one, the best Judas Priest album in twenty years.
		Angel of Retribution may not be a classic, but it is a surprisingly solid album that should be well received by most long time fans.

		The band even serves up Angel, a power ballad, as well as a thirteen-minute-plus hard rocking epic called Loch Ness.
		There are two main versions of this album available - the Dual Disc version, which has a music CD on one side and a DVD with bonus footage on the other, as well as version that has a separate DVD and CD.
		Angel Of Retribution is a masterpiece of an album, and one that was long overdue.

	Judas Priest - Angel Of Retribution Music Review
		Angel of Retribution is a cash-in record if there ever was one, and you’re being fooled if you think otherwise.
		But Angel Of Retribution is anything but original, and most of the time it’s a simple lesson in riff lifting 101, as the boys nick one lick after another off of other artists past work.
		I cannot tell a lie - Angel Of Retribution is indeed fun for the first couple of spins, but it definitely isn’t something I’ll ever want to listen to again anytime soon.

		ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION opens with a crescendoing, swirling guitar riff which explodes into the welcome return of the classic Halford scream.
		The only flaw "Angel of Retribution" has is about all of its fast songs are the same speed.
		"Angel of Retribution" is slab of energetic old-school metal that shows the Priest returning to form.

	Angel of Retribution [CD + DVD] Music at Shop Ireland
		When a band comes back together and records a new album, they are naturally judged on their past efforts, and no this doesn't out do British Steel or Stained Class, but in its own right the Angel of Retribution stands amongst these albums as a defining moment as the comeback.
		Retribution shows a side of Priest that has put people off this record, however like Iron Maidens Brave New World (which was also criticised)the follow up to Retribution should be a very special Priest album.
		Many Angel Of Retribution track were included in the set.

	Judas Priest Angel Of Retribution (DualDisc) Review By Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck
		Angel Of Retribution brings everything right back into focus for 2005-the trademark Halford vocals, the dueling twin lead guitars, and the no-guts-no-glory lyrics, its all back in a big way with this new album.
		On one side of the disc is a CD and the other a DVD with live footage, a documentary on their reformation, and the entire album once again in 5.1 surround sound.
		The cover sports a metallic angel spreading its wings while stepping out of the flames making all in human form pay for their mistakes, forcing those of us that have faltered to live by the law of accountability.

	DVD Talk Forum - Judas Priest : Angel of Retribution
		Angel is a top notch Priest album that combines the styles of albums like Hell Bent for Leather, British Steel, Point of Entry, Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders, and Painkiller.
		Angel of Retribution is the Priest album that I've been waiting for since 1984!
		Much like Killing the Dragon was the DIO album that I had been waiting for since 1986 or so, Angel of Retribution really satisfied my hopes for a very good to great Priest album.

	MSJ - Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution
		Make no mistake, "Angel of Retribution" is an event, not merely a record.
		Not only does it see the return of the Metal God, Rob Halford, to the ranks of the seminal band he left so abruptly almost 15 years ago, but it may be the key to revitalizing the whole "true metal" scene.
		And after listening to "Angel of Retribution" intently several times, I can say with all honesty that this IS a great record.

	Plan 9 - Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		But after influencing scores of 1980s metal bands like Metallica, Priest found themselves overshadowed by the very scene they helped create, and, after the departure of lead singer Rob Halford, devolved into a mere shadow of their former selves.
		ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION is the first Priest album in 15 years to reunite the band's original lineup (including Halford) as they attempt to recapture some of their previous glory, which--through ferocious rockers like "Judas Rising," "Deal with the Devil," and "Wheels of Fire"--they amply do.
		This dual disc features the CD version of ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION on one side and a DVD-Audio version with surround sound mix and bonus video material (including a reunion documentary and seven classic tracks recorded live in 2004) on the other.

	Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution review
		Angel of Retribution is indeed the ascension of Sad Wings of Destiny, taking all the groundbreaking elements that they perfected, adjusted and altered over their illustrious 31 year career.
		The Metal God, Rob Halford returns to helm the monster that twisted, pulverized and shaped the monolith that is heavy metal; he is one with the beast that is Judas Priest.
		“Angel” is a ballad that shows the melodic, beautiful side of the art that is heavy metal.

	JUDAS PRIEST – Angel Of Retribution
		Now, about 2 to 3 weeks after the release of Angel Of Retribution it is beyond doubt to me that the elder gentlemen have really made it once more.
		Even the old ballad highlights of the 70’s are reflected with Angel relatively free of cliché, while there is even a doomy and quite extraordinary song – the 14-minute Lochness, which blends perfectly into the typical JUDAS PRIEST frame.
		Sui: Even if I hadn’t listened to Angel Of Retribution with my own ears I would become suspicious just by the length of Psycho’s review (and I don’t say this because I had to translate it).
