Really? I don't. Nostradamus is one of the 3 worst Judas Priest albums out of the band's 16 studio album career......Turbo,,Demolition and Nostradamus.Thats just my opinion,but I still hate those albums.

Thats just my personal opinion I realise. Take people who are not Judas Priest freaks like us but still love "heavy metal".......almost ALL of them do not like Nostradamus.
I swear,if it was Iron Maiden that did Nostradamus,everybody on this site would HATE IT! LOL! Its true...lol!!!
But since its JP..........
I think Judas Priest wasted thier time with experimental albums.....Point Of Entry may have some good tracks on it,but half of them are really under-par songs that are easy to forget.
Turbo,Ram It Down,Demolition and Nostradamus all of them are JP experimenting in one way or another.
Take Metallica....99.9% of all people big tall short and small all like thier first 3 albums with Cliff the best.....and its for good reason...."the song writting".
I feel that with the experimenting on Nostradamus,it hampered Judas Priest's song writting big time.
I don't like it when bands do something different......thats just me,but I understand how,and why you enjoy Nostradamus.....I'll have to wait for the next record and hope its a normal album.
This is what I hate most about Judas Priest....they don't always "deliver the goods"..........I hate it when I have to guess what they are going to do next.....I think it sucks.
Bands like AC/DC,Motorhead,Saxon....you know what your going to get............its hard enough to write a killer album let alone trying to experiment along the way.

I`m sure many of you are musicians and you know experimentation is part of it. Sometimes you find yourself stuck, doing always the same. I think it`s important for musicians to dare to do different things, to do what they feel, to express what`s inside their minds. That`s what Judas Priest did.

We all know very well that they are not a commercial band but they do what they want and feel. What`s more, they care for growing as musicians.

I still dont get the hate for Nostradamus, i really like it a lot
But as for a new album, i hope they do go back a bit, give 'experimenting' a rest for a bit, and make another Painkiller, or DOTF style album again (I'm happy either way, lol)
But then they wouldnt be the Priest we all love if they did what we expect them to do....... |

Yo Pipen, Halford quit smoking sometime last year in the middle of the Metal Masters tour. And as for their being a next time i think there will be. Halford said in a recent interview that Priest will continue to make metal until they get tired and then followed to say that they certainly don't feel tired yet. That was a couple of months ago so i think we can expect at least one more from them. I pray they make another i really do something heavy as Hell!

It don't have to be like Painkiller but a little bit more straight ahead so to speak.
And Halford should quit his smoking and do some exercise cos I think that would bring back some of his voice, I don't expect him to sound like he did in the 80 ies and i don't mean to diss him cos he is and will always be the metal god in my eyes but to be fair, he sounds a bit too straind sometimes I think.

Over an hour and a half of soft,ballad-like tracks was not my idea of fun when I listened to this LP.
Sad,bummed out and confused is more what I felt. Everybody has an opinion and mine is not "valid" to say that mine is right,but what I can say is that the Nostradamus album was not "Judas Priest's style". For the life of me I can't understand why this band feels the need to "do something different"? If they do not like thier original style/sound anymore,than maybe the band should think about hanging up the leathers and playing golf from here on out,that would be fine by me.I would rather see them retire than keep putting out albums like the experimental Demolition and Nostradamus. |

...and then came "Turbo"!!!!!!! (lol!) Dude,...all of you would laugh your asses off if you could of seen the shitty expression on my sad face when I got home and put it on the turn table(of course there were no CDs back then)!!!!!
I almost freaking "cried" head banger...I think there were tears building up in my eyes...I was bummed out for months!!

That album may not be Priest's best but the title track,the song Heavy Metal..Come And Get It...Hard As Iron,Blood Red Skies...it was leaps and bounds better than Turbo!! lol! Man I just could'nt understand "WHY" they did a 180 turn from Defenders and chose to do Turbo...that was anything but defending the heavy metal faith. lol! But to each his own,thats for sure.

Yeah hellrider,I'm with ya!!! If I did'nt bash the band alittle than I'm nothing more than a "fan-boy" who says everything Priest does is 100% awsome regarless of what it is.
There are fans that would even like a Priest album even if it sounded like Green Day...I am not one of those fans..I want the best out of Judas Priest and the best is what they do "best'....
hard screaming heavy metal is the word here hellrider,you got it down my friend!!!

I seriously hope that Judas Priest return to thier heavy metal "roots" on the next album.....if there is going to be a "next album"? If they do decide to record again,I hope it is in the vien of Angel Of Retribution.Nostradamus was to experimental,and way to long,very un-Priest-like.Say what you will,say you like the Nostradamus album,say that its the best...blah blah blah blah....it is not Judas Priest,and its not Judas Priest at thier best.
Over an hour and a half of soft,ballad-like tracks was not my idea of fun when I listened to this LP.
Sad,bummed out and confused is more what I felt. Everybody has an opinion and mine is not "valid" to say that mine is right,but what I can say is that the Nostradamus album was not "Judas Priest's style". For the life of me I can't understand why this band feels the need to "do something different"? If they do not like thier original style/sound anymore,than maybe the band should think about hanging up the leathers and playing golf from here on out,that would be fine by me.I would rather see them retire than keep putting out albums like the experimental Demolition and Nostradamus.

Yeah Head Banger your right here,as usual my friend. I'm not saying that nobody should not like "Turbo",but to me it is a sore subject! lol!
I was 16 years old at that time turbo was released(1986) and coming off an album titled 'Defenders Of The Faith" I was phyched out for the new album....
...and then came "Turbo"!!!!!!! (lol!) Dude,...all of you would laugh your asses off if you could of seen the shitty expression on my sad face when I got home and put it on the turn table(of course there were no CDs back then)!!!!!
I almost freaking "cried" head banger...I think there were tears building up in my eyes...I was bummed out for months!! Actually...I think I was bummed out untill the release date of 1988's Ram It Down!! That album may not be Priest's best but the title track,the song Heavy Metal..Come And Get It...Hard As Iron,Blood Red Skies...it was leaps and bounds better than Turbo!! lol! Man I just could'nt understand "WHY" they did a 180 turn from Defenders and chose to do Turbo...that was anything but defending the heavy metal faith. lol! But to each his own,thats for sure.

there are those who truly love everything the band does. great fans
there are those who like a lot of what the band does, great fans
there are those who talk as though the band can do no wrong. not sure what they are. fanboys, starstruck, deaf???
a fan has the right to like of not like the album as they chose. I wont buy the album if they read their grocery list. I dont like nost, I like turbo though. we are all different, and will all voice our opinions. those who say that we cant say negative things, are wrong.
