Hehe, true. At least some of those interludes are ok to listen to. So all in all I also think that the album is a good one. Even if you take away those interludes and maybe some songs that you don't care much for personally there's still a lot of good stuff for most people. In a way it's impressive that they put out their
sixteenth album in general! And a double album at that.
I saw them live yesterday by the way and it was great. The band just defines pure heavy metal in my opinion. They played songs from all era's actually which was great. They played the intro and Prophecy from the latest one. And the song Death which was surprisingly cool in a live setting. Halford (as the messenger of Death) appeared onstage from underneath the drum riser on a throne with the reaper quickly disappearing behind him. Then he sang the whole song while sitting there and kind of "playing" the part. Cheesy and over the top but great nonetheless, hehe
