Mar 6, 2018The level of consistency remains high throughout a 14-track running order encompassing the belligerence of Evil Never Dies, and the title track, mid-tempo maulers (Lone Wolf) and epic closer Sea Of Red.

Apr 9, 2018Though it is far too early to start talking about this as one of their finest records, I have no doubt that 'Firepower' could slip through a wormhole in time to stand in the mighty presence of 'British Steel' and 'Screaming For Vengeance' and feel no shame.

MojoMar 6, 2018This 18th LP is their finest since '90's Painkiller. [Apr 2018, p.96]

Mar 9, 2018Firepower’s success depends on the songwriting, though, and that’s pretty strong.
-
Kerrang!Mar 14, 2018It's as sharp as can be, as powerful as an atom bomb, and exactly the sort of thrilling metal adventure you want from them. [17 Mar 2018, p.53]

Mar 12, 2018It's not the nuclear assault of Painkiller, a touchstone for many Priest fans, or the late-day resurrection of Redeemer of Souls, but Firepower proves Judas Priest still pack some heavy artillery and can still hit the target even if not every shot is a bullseye.
-
Mar 6, 2018Firepower is exactly what you would expect of Priest almost 50 years into their career. It's well-produced, expertly executed and understandably quotidian.

May 4, 2018Basically fine, some good songs on it but it offers nothing new and as long as you have Screaming for Vengeance you're not really missing out.
