i have always been a fan of priest, they are one of the best classic metal bands. they have a great twin guitar team of kk downing and glen tipton, who blend well together, and halford has the epitome of a metal voice. ian hill holds the bottom end down with his no frills bass playing. if your a fan of priest youll know they evolve with every album, and they arnt afraid to take risks..from the sabbath inspired "sad wings of destiny" album, to the commercial " point of entry" album...to the metal onslaught of the "painkiller" album. "Notstradamus" from priest is a concept album, and it has great focus..its very atmosphereic. but its not a "great" album, its over produced and slick sounding. and its alot to listen to all at once, its a 2 cd set.
I 've been a Judas Priest fan since 1976 and the first album I listened to was Sad wings of Destiny! They sounded great and in 1979 I got to see them live in London, England and they kicked Butt! The Nostardamus 2 cd set is great! Some fans think that it's too mellow or melodic but this band has stood the test of time and now they are moving on into uncharted territory. I give them credit for being bold enough to try something as epic as this! This whole project is a story of the infamous Nostrdamus! I love the songs Revelations, and Alone, and Nostrdamus. The band is playing as well as ever and Halford's vocals are still haunting as usual. This isn't as heavy as past cd's but they do kick butt on some songs and using keyboard and strings are a great effect. If you're a Priest fan give it a listen with an open mind!Read full review
(some times I like to scare myself) Judas Priest a true professional rock band! And that's what you get an album put together very well! If you are looking for top pop chart hits stay away! This is more on the serious side. Very well put together with Rob Halford vocals just as punchy and high range as in the seventies, along with KK Downing and Glenn Tipton and don't forget Ian Hill! No Bubble Gum Chewing here ,just pure hard kicking rock!

I've been a priest fan since I saw them open for Kiss in 1979. I have every CD, and I've seen them grow and change through the years. I appreciate the time and energy put into composing and producing this CD. It didn't grab me the first time I heard it, but then listened to the entire thing while working outside about a month ago. It's OK, not great, not horrible. I don't find myself longing to listen to it, like some of the other Priest material. I think they ought to stick with the formula that works for them - songs that are 4-7 minutes in length with maybe one epic song per CD. I still think they are an amazing band - one of the few that has stood the test of time. If you're a priest fan, this belongs in your collection.
It is a Themed Double Disc. It is typical Deep & Dark Judas Priest,but with great Orchestration, added sound effects and some Italian Opera like lyrics. Rob Halford's voice sounds older and strained on some tracks, but it fits with the prophetic end of our life on this world lamentations. It really builds up the persona of Nostradamus and his character. His coded Quatrains still echo back to us 500 years later. Time is not linear.
