| This is a different direction for Priest. It is very hard to get used to this cd. Alot of slow parts that I really don't like. But have to admit that it isa different direction for Priest.. |

The more you listen the better it gets. I loved it. I did burn a scaled down version taking out many of the short intros and recorded the meaner-heavier songs. It made a great driving CD. ALONE I felt was the one that really grabbed me.

There's a few standout tracks in my mind, but I still have to "get used to" the album as a whole, as it is an epic story. I can't wait to see this whole thing played out in a theater!  |

| I think Nostradamus is a great album, but it really needs to be listened whole through, I think. That's how it works the best. That can be a good thing too, but... I would have liked the classic style better... just bunch of good songs that nicely fit together in style (like in AOR for example). If I would like someone else to listen to the Priest, I wouldn't tell him to listen to the Nostradamus because I couldn't recommend any songs from it. But I do like the album. I've listened to it whole through many times, allthough mostly while doing something else at the same time so I still have no idea which song is which. I recognize Death, Prophecy and Nostradamus... maybe Alone as well (when I've listened to it some time) and Revelation when I hear the solos, but that's about it. Kind a sums it up well. Works as a whole, but the songs aren't so memoriable alone. |

I will add my two cents in a day or two. Keeping in mind, a fricken lemming I am NOT; a somewhat educated, free thinking, individual - who owes nothing to anyone - I AM

Wow havent been here for a while. I dont see much love for Exiled!! was the first track that really hit me. been listening to it flat out for 2 weeks or so now, and wow it just keeps growing on me, its fantastic. I just hope everyone gives it a real good listen, the more priest the better!! P&P is currently my fav track to listen to. And I thought I was happy listening to Operation mindcrime..this album blows it away! Keep up the good work priest. And Cant wait to see them live in Melbourne!!

| TOTALLY right Kit.. with the old piano accompanyment and acoustic guitars.. makes me think of Priest circa 1975. This album has a bit of everything, all their talents learned over the years put into one showcase. |

I agree with you KIT KAT - as far as I am concerned, this album was a long time coming. They have been away from that style for so long and this dis is sort of a rediscovery for them. Can't wait for the Montreal show - I wish Glenn all the best with his recovery!
Keep The Faith... |

This is the only complaint that people can come up with:
It's too Slow.
That is complete bullshit, these people were expecting "Nostradamus: Featuring Painkiller". That's the stupidest mistake anyone could ever make. If you actually listen to the bands catelogie, I'm gonna say over HALF of it is slower mellow tunes believe it or not. So it's extremely hypocritcal to say this is too slow when that much of there previous work is slow too. It's ridiculous.
You ALL knew this was not going to be a fast Cd, you ALL knew it was going to be totally different from anything else, but your still shocked to find out that it's totally different from anything else. Take it for what it is and stop comparing it to Painkiller. Just enjoy the music, listen to it! Don't sit there thinking "...... this is slow.... I wanna listen to Painkiller!". That's stupid. Amazing album, but this is not that.
Just take the album for what it is, and stop comparing it to other songs. THAT is why some people hate it. They just want Excited, Freehwheel Burning and Painkiller again.
