This album is an interesting beast. Rock and metal come together in a convergence of three of the best musicians in the business. Edge of the World is comprised of previously unreleased material that bring the talents of Judas Priest's Glenn Tipton, the late Who bass player John Entwistle, and the late drummer Cozy Powell. Powell was a member of many groups over the years including Rainbow, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, MSG, and Cinderella, plus collaborations with Brian May, Gary Moore, and Robert Plant. Also appearing on the album is keyboardist Don Airey.

There are a number of great songs on the album and each flows very well into the others on the recording. Some of my favorites were "Unknown Soldier", "The Holy Man" and "Edge Of The World". Its more Hard Rock than Metal which is a refreshing change for one would probably not be served well by releasing "Priest II", as this at least shows us the level of player that Tipton is. His guitar work is smooth and technical at the same time and I think anyone who enjoys his work in The Priest will find some stuff on here that rocks well enough for them. The booklet includes lyrics and some commentary from Glenn but there are no pictures to view which was sad. Even stuff from session would have been nice with these guys passed on I felt. Yet I'm glad Glenn was able to showcase the music that the two legends took part in just the same. They will never be forgotten and they can never be replaced.
