Rating: - A true masterpiece
I took me a while to get into this album. It's confusing at first, but after weeks of listening, it gives me chills. It's a masterpiece like no other Judas Priest album before it, and I can't stop playing it, it's addictive with its haunting melodies and Halford's almost painfully emotional voice.
Rating: - Judas Priest concept CD
Like others who have reviewed the new Judas Priest CD, I have been a long time fan, even during the time when "Turbo" was relesed. Liked 'em then, still like 'em now. I admit that "Nostradamus" takes a little getting used to, especially for those of us who were introduced to Priest during British Steel-Defenders of the Faith time frame. What I really like about this CD is, well to me, is it's creativity. Kind of goes back to the Sad Wings of Destiny style. Yes it is different, but then so are just about every other Judas Priest CD's. Each has their own niche, and this one is no different. ... Read More
Rating: - Something new from the Priest... and the Priest still rules!
I've been a fan since I was 14. I'm now 43.
Disliked all albums since and including Turbo... but here we've got something very different that's sure to please the old fans. This is the same Priest that made me daydream about Metal when I was a kid -- bombastic, heroic and powerful. Plus -- as an added bonus -- this time they threw in their maturity composition-wise... so it's just an amazing adventure!
Sure, the lyrics may seem a bit preposterous to some... but this is what Priest does, and they do it better than anyone. If you read Tolkien looking for "cheese" you simply missed the ... Read More
Rating: - Don't give up on it
I originally gave this a scathing 1 star review. It was a knee jerk reaction to a cd I was totally not expecting. I played it a dozen times before putting it away claiming this was not the Priest I know and love.
I didn't listen to it again for 2 weeks before I said to myself, "Self. This is the Priest you know and love. Don't give up on it." So back in the cd player it went with a different perspective on what I was going to hear. And what a difference that made. I was hearing songs I thought I'd never heard before, and they were good! Priest obviously took their time and put a lot of work ... Read More
Rating: - If You Love The Priest, Do NOT Buy This CD
Judas Priest not only introduced me to Heavy Metal, they taught me how to play guitar, and how to write my own songs and not sound like every other band from the NWOBHM and onward into Thrash/Speed metal. They were a Juggernaut that with every release pushed themselves and myself to greater abilities of writing/playing and live shows that I will NEVER forget. Black Sabbath introduced dark lyrical themes and both Blues leanings and off-kilter time signatures to a heavier style of music. But in my opinion, Judas Priest invented HEAVY METAL, without question, and for that I am eternally grateful.
