Its not my cup of tea either,but it is a master piece of art,just not to my likings thats all. I think that they should not have still called the project "Judas Priest". Instead they should of called it "Nostradamus",and put Judas Priest on hold till the next couple of years for the new album. Way to experimental for even JP.

Here's hopin' then; and, here's hopin' the economy picks up so those wanting to see a live production of the concept maybe have an opportunity to do so ; )

Ive listened to Nostradamus many many times. It failed to hit the mark for me, Travis mailed this one in on the drums. Epic masterpiece? hardly..

Alot of drivel and moody interludes, not enough substance. 2 CDS of this? I dont believe...and heres to hopin they dont bring NSTDMS live, especially in these troubled economic times...MpleSyrp

I find most of the interlude tracks some of the albums brightest moments. As of the actual songs, Prophecy could have been great but it's too cliched to work. Most of side one I dislike, with the exception of Pestilence and Plague, which only half of it I do, and the last song Persecution, which is kick ass.

Side Two is much more enjoyable, especially Alone, though the topic is predictable, it's a topic only Priest can do with authority. But where Nostradamus fails is the two best songs are the last two tracks, therefore you have to sit through the whole album to get to them. The title track is awesome, especially the opening Opera-ish setting, and the scream once the song kicks in. But the last track, Future Of Mankind, is the only one that never seems tiring when listening to it. It has the perfect balance of Metal, Heaviness, Solos, Riffs and most of all Emotions. The solo is grabbing, lyrics are moving and atmosphere is dreamy. The way Rob yells "As my life evolves" is just so moving, and the French singing for the last verse. It is the most complete song on the entire album, and surprisingly, despite being the longest, it never feels like it is dragging.

I STILL LISTEN TO AT LEAST SEVERAL SONGS EVERY DAY, EITHER IN THE CAR OR OFF THE COMPUTER AT WORK.  THE ALBUM IS SO DIVERSE THAT I CAN FIND A SONG OR TWO FOR ALMOST ANY MOOD I AM IN. BUT THERE IS STILL NOTHING LIKE PUTTING IT ON FROM BEGINNING TO END.

I LISTENED TO ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVERAL MONTHS, AND IT STILL SOUNDS GREAT. THE LYRICS TO DEAL WITH THE DEVIL BRING BACK SO MANY MEMORIES OF MY HIGHSCHOOL AND COLLEGE DAYS IN THE LATE 1970'S AND EARLY 1980'S. METAL RULED AND METAL FANS BEGAN TO BECOME ONE BIG FAMILY.

A few songs per day. Rarely listened to it as a whole. I just took a relisten today and it seemed awesome again, I've started liking it again but if this whole thing gets played live...I hope they inject guitar more into it and assist it, rather than lead it, with synth etc.

It has honestly not left the CD player of my car since I got it. Five cd changer too. Granted, I listen to the first more than the second cd but once day, easily.

Often continues to the gym where I'll run to the album. Masterpiece, I still say, but to each their own.
[Vaillant 3.0] Tuesday, February 24, 2009 10:18:28 PM 
How often would you listen to it?

The album is kinda dying on me at the moment. It was amazing at the beginning though now it's fading out.

Bloodsucker--why don't we put you on one stage & Judas Priest on another --perform the whole Nostradamus cd & see who gets cheered for --I doubt it would be you---every one is entitled to their opinion but that was too low--& after seeing them in concert 2 times this month , let me tell you this --they haven't lost anything & Rob sounds just as good if not better than before.

Bloodsucker-
Since you obviously don't like the new cd and have nothing good to say about the band members you should cancel your JP membership and go away! Go find another website to spew the garbage in your mouth!
[VICTIM OF METAL] Thursday, August 28, 2008 6:51:09 PM 
With 342 posts to your name, do you really think we think you are a true fan by bashing and attacking the band? Not liking the c.d. is one thing, but the other stuff is uncalled for.  [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by BLOOD SUCKER Esquire from Wednesday, August 27, 2008 11:48:04 PM)

If the album was Rancid, it would be more punk than metal, gee whiz...

Blood sucker, Some people have class and others don't. YOU obviously DON'T. That is the most pathetic comment I have read in a very long time.

Its fine that you don't like it bloodsucker.  Just try not to sound like an idiot in your critique.

I didn't care for it at first but after listening to it for awhile --I like it very much---they've all grown artisically --not your Screaming For Vengence or Defenders Of The Faith but then again  no 2 Judas Priest cds sound alike.
