Summary: Awesome Metal Masterpiece
Comment: I have been a Priest fan for a very long time and have always enjoyed the twists in their music over the years, some for the better, some for the worst, but all having the Judas Priest signature sounds. When I first heard Nostradamus I was taken back and a little confused, this wasn't the Priest I've known and loved for over 20 years, or so I first thought. The more I listened the more I liked it, and before long I found myself hooked. I find that each time I listen to it I catch something new. There are shades of Priest from Rocka Rolla all the way up to Painkiller, and much more. If you purchase this album expecting another Defenders of the Faith or Painkiller you may wind up being disappointed, but if you embrace the album on its own merits and give it a real good listen you'll find that the Priest has created another classic album, that hopefully years from now everyone will realize just how great this album is.

Summary: Awesome
Comment: What can you say about this band that hasn't been said before? They are the masters of metal. All in their late 50's (except Travis) and Tipton 60. Instead of doing what many bands do by staying with the formula that worked in the past, Priest breaks ground with this incredible masterpiece depicting the life and times of Nostradamus. Halford's voice is better than ever. Highlights of the album are 'Prophecy', 'Revelations', 'Death', 'Exiled', 'Alone', and 'Nostradamus'. 'Nostradamus' the song reminds me a little of Painkiller and worthy of being a Priest classic. Perhaps for the fan stuck in 'Hell Bent for Leather' or 'British Steel' there won't be much appreciation. However if you open your mind and just take in the album for what it is I think you will find it's Priest at their best and most daring.

Summary: Why?
Comment: This album is pathetic. I wanted more metal from the metal band Judas Priest. Why would they release this as a Judas Priest album? They could have called it Nostradamus Disciples or something. Then no one would have expected it to sound like Judas Priest. I only like about 5 songs on this album and almost every other Judas Priest song is better than the ones I like. I guess if you only listen to them because you love Rob Halford's singing then it would be fine but I hate it because it is not a metal album. This is worse than "Risk" by Megadeth. The lyrics don't even go into Nostradamus'predictions or anything like that. They're very vague.

Summary: Love this ALBUM!
Comment: If you are a fan of well constructed concept albums that are actually written as an "Album" and not a collection of songs you will love this CD. It sets a mood and is great from beginning to end.
It hooked me from the very beginning. There are some rockers on there, but many melodic songs and I think Halford's voice sounds great on some of the more melodic slower songs.
My favorite CD purchase this year for sure.

Summary: Los Ultimos seran los primeros
Comment: Este ultima entrega del prodigioso grupo metalero de los 70s es una de las composiciones tan agradable al oido que te da mucha tristeza tener que quitar un disco para escuchar el otro, deseando que fueran seguidos los dos. Ya antes se habia escuchado los sonidos sinteticos en los discos anteriores, muy anteriores (Defenders of the faith, Turbo, Ram it down) pero ahora los sonidos son mas refinados y acoplados. La mezcla del sonido metal y el sintetico es tan bien adaptada, es como si te diera un respiro para poder continuar con las otras canciones(dawn of creation,shadows in the flame, calm before the storm). Las canciones mas adictivas son Exile, Alone, Visions, Prophecy y Pestilence and plaque.
