Rating: - Concept Album
The new Judas Priest isn't bad, I'd say it's better than Angel of Rettibution, Jugulator, DeMOLITION too. Their best album since 1990s Painkiller. Takes a few listens to grow on you. It's what Priest fans have come to expect, an agreesive albeit generic metal album.
Rating: - Epic Concept Album!!
A very powerful album with a classical/progressive sound. Judas Priest are successful at creating well balanced and imaginative concept album. I have been playing this exclusively since buying it ,it just keeps getting better every time I listen to it. A great gift to Priest Fans, they have done nothing like this before. A full 5 stars on this one!.
Rating: - Not easy to review
I am a Priest fan since 1977, roughly. The first album by them I owned was Hell Bent for Leather, which, strangely, Nostradamus reminds me of HBFL. It has the variety that was on Hell Bent. Remember how you felt the first time you heard "Before the Dawn", it was like what was that? It seemed so out of place. Nostradamus has alot of slow little pre-songs, I guess you could call them.

Rating: - Gets better with age
JP goes in a different direction on Nostradamus...and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Gone are the shredding guitar solos that have been their hallmark for decades. I've listened to this 5 times through now and I can honestly say it gets better with each listen. Fans looking for Painkiller II will be sorely disappointed. This is not a CD you'll want to crank up as you're pulling up to a stoplight to try to impress the hot chick (or elderly couple) next to you with your ability to listen to loud music (btw, no one over the age of 18 is ever impressed with this skill in case you're wondering). ...

Rating: - Refreshing Metal Opera shines against trash out there
I may have a more objective review than most here as I was not a major Priest fan growing up in the 80's. I did hear their popular songs and loved them, but did not relish in their albums. I was always drawn to conceptual rock like Rush 2112, The Who's Tommy and Quadrophenia. So to hear an amazing rock opera like this in 2008 is refreshing and brave.
I for one would finance bringing this to the stage. I think it would be a sell out show instantly and it would be well deserved. I do not think Priest fans should fear this variance of Priest. Have we (40 and 50 something folk) all not mellowed ... Read More
