That is a song that would probably be much better on a different record. It could and should stand on it's own. Not surrounded by all the ass kicking that's going on around it. When I get through the whole thing, I'm going back to it and listen to it on it's own. By then I'll probably have the proper B.A.C. to accept it ! HA ! Seriously, I think it's a good song, just out of place.

Tim, stop talking to yourself and all the other supposed members on line. Where are these people?

| It's really strange. It's like I've heard the songs before. I can sing along with many parts and I'm just feeling the pitch changes in the vocals. I'm no singer by any means, but I'm feeling where they are going. This is really fun ! |

And now the opening of "Death". Seriously f . . . ing heavy !

As a song unto itself, "War" doesn't stand out much for me. However, it is VERY powerful. Not only that, it helps tie the story together into "Pestilence & Plague" and creates a good deal of tension which is now being relieved with the opening of "P&P". A lot of thought went into the arrangements. That's obvious. |

| I like the strings. Adds power to the song almost like "Live and Let Die". |

| Solo's smokin'. Almost sounds like something Ywgwie would do. |

| Drums in Revelations are so powerful and the orchestration is awsome ! |

| Just got through "Prophecy" and that riff kicks major ass. LOVE IT ! |

Hello to all! It has been forever and a day since I posted anything on the boards but thought Nostradamus worthy of posting my two cents (and that may be all it is worth) on the latest Priest disc.
After multiple listenings, I like it very much. I agree with a number of reviews and comments regarding the length of the disc. I do think that it could have been pared down a bit but that's just my opinion. I think it has more to do with the kind of mood I'm in when I listen to it. Sometimes I skip over the more slow tempo numbers to listen to the mid-tempo to the rockers. Other times, I listen to every track. I may create my own CDR with my faves.
I discovered Prist in 1980 and have been a die-hard fan ever since. I really commend and applaud them for adding elements (keyboards, strings, etc.) that fell by the way side from British Steel on (for the most point). If one thinks about it, many view Priest's creative highpoints from Sad Wings through Hell Bent for Leather (although we all know that they've had classics throughout their entire careers) and Nostradamus reminds me very much of 70's era Priest.
Honestly, I have been waiting for Priest to evolve more musically while still creating music with cajones. I think this was a very worthwhile risk, gamble, etc. They have always taken risks and this is no exception. At this point in their careers they can still expand their sound, and still remain a Metal band. Whatever they create, I'll buy it.
