Thirteenth Judas Priest album "Angel of Retribution" (2005). An album, which was released after 15 years of hiatus, and... it's actually pretty decent. I actually rate it a bit higher than I should due to modern sound and production in comparison really...

Fourteenth Judas Priest album "Nostradamus" (2008), which, as I understand it, the first parter of songs is based on the prophecies of Nostradamus (so, a conceptual album). Um, it's different and unique I'd say. Though, I prefer CD 2 over CD 1.

Fifteenth (and penultimate) album of Judas Priest "Firepower" (2018). Eh, more or less like Redeemer of Souls, it's okey. Though from their modern ones I found Nostradamus to be almost superb.

This year's and last (so far) Judas Priest album "Invincible Shield" (2024). More or less the same quality as their last album. Still, I have to admit, that I prefer their modern sound over their classic one.

As always, subjective assessments of each album:
