Album Description:
Two CD 2008 release by Judas Priest. In the realm of Heavy Metal, there has never been a double disc concept album that has managed to balance a thought-provoking storyline with metallic thunder.Long in the works, Nostradamus takes epic storytelling to a whole new level, as it recounts the life of this mysterious, world-known 16th Century French prophet. Most bands of this high stature would be happy to play it safe. But not Judas Priest, who continue to take chances and break new ground.

Rating: - Nostradamus jams!
This is the best work from JP since Hell Bent for Leather. Been a Priest fan from the start. This is a must have. This CD rocks start from finish. Pure JP - screaming and mesmerizing Halford with the typical jammimg riffs by Tipton/Downing. A little bit of everything in this.Not a bad song in the 2 disc set. Great change-ups.Rock opera at its best. Off the chart lyrics. These guys just keep on getting better.My favorite CD in years!
Rating: - Intersting Concept release from one of metal's most hallowed acts
Reviews have been very divided on the release of Priest's newest album,there first concept release,Nostradumus.
Many criticize it for it's lack of anthems and accesibility.
Truth is,it's just what it SHOULD be....a deep concept album.
The band returns somewhat to there 70s roots with this one,with much more complex guitar work and the use of keyboards to maximize the emotional impact of several songs.
It's a good story,but quite a long listen,sort of a throw back to the classic ... Read More
Rating: - Try 90's alternative , nu metal, or metalcore for good music.
Why Judas Priest Sucks.

Rob Halford is older than Santa Clause and has the vocal range of a dead bird.For good vocalist check out Fred Durst and Jon Davis and Dexter Holland {the ultra fast ultra punk rock band Offspring!}

The guitarist can't play a good riff like Korn, Deftones, or New Metallica.

and this band plays stupid NWOBHM! Why not utilize your talents on nu metal or 90's alternative? Because they don't have any talent!

For good bands listen ... Read More
Rating: - Judas Priest meets Trans-Siberian Orchestra
I'll keep it short:

The music is well done and very professional (mixed well), however unless you like rock opera-ish show music or the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, this may not be for you. (Lizzy Borden did it better years ago with Master of Diguise).

It is good for what it is thus the 3 stars, but not what I expected or really would have wanted. I can't fault them for trying new things. The lyrics do leave a lot to be desired, too. This one is actually better when Rob isn't singing, ... Read More
Rating: - Great Concept Priest
Judas Priest's first foray into Concept albums is a great compilation of songs for the new millenium.
