  1. 9.0 |   PopMatters

    Judas Priest have exceeded all expectations and made one of the best albums of their storied career

  2. 8.0 |   Exclaim

    With so many of the old gods tumbling down, there's something deeply comforting in knowing that Judas Priest still reign

  3. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Almost as preposterous, exhilarating and entertaining as anything they’ve ever done
    Read Review

  4. 7.0 |   All Music

    The loosest (attitude-wise), leanest (arrangement-wise), and most confident-sounding collection of new material the band has released in ages

  5. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Redeemer is proof that Priest can still call themselves metal's defenders of the faith

  6. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    For the most part, it’s suitably overblown, cocksure and blunt, and still goes some way to capturing the genre's eternal, endearing refusal to grow up

  7. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    There is something reassuring about the fact that, 40 years on, the Metal Gods still sound so in love with the genre

    This will get you amped!

  9. 4.0 |   Q

    Overall the glory years seem a long way off and metal fatigue sets in long before the end of its 63 minutes. Print edition only

Latest Reviews

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
