well, I dont love nost, but I do think that its beter than RR. RR is just too soft IMO. but, they change, and some like it, some dont. if you want the same thing every album, put the cd player on repeat, or buy the maiden discography.

British steel is one of the all time greatest Metal masterpeices of all time, point of entry well im not sure where that would fit in. The lyrics on that album were extremely disappointing compared to the previous album, and i wonder if alot of fans were saying the same thing back in what was it 81? I wouldnt know personally because it was four years before i was born. To the non believers of Nostradumas, well thats your opinion, but dont go saying that because this album isnt heavy metal to you that the band wont continue to make the music that they themselves helped define. Halford, Tipton and Downing have molten Heavy Metal flowing through there veins, for me the new album is a wicked example.
I wonder if those bitching about the new album consider Rocka rolla a Heavy Metal album? That was about as Mellow in points as Nostradumas without the insanley heavy main title track.

| It is a decent metal album but nowhere near as good as DOTF, SFV or Painkiller. In my humble opinion. |

I couldn't agree with you more --you wrote everything I wanted to say--Judas Priest are so diverse & that's why I like them--every cd is so different from the last & so unique in it's own.---Nostradamus being the best so far ?--that's to each person's own personal opinion.

That being said, "Nostradamus" is nothing short of an epic masterpiece -- as it encompasses all their skills, ranges and abilities. We have the metal, the opera, and the orchestra... which is a true marriage that simply showcases their talents and how diverse they really are. Hopefully it also tells us we get better with age... (I can only hope, lol.)
I think we see a glimpse of this, a long time ago, in "Sad Wings of Destiny" -- Dreamer Deceiver. Anyone else out there think so?
PS -- i play the violin & guitar, or used to until a recent, very unfortunate accident to my L-hand... anyway, in the credits of "Nostradamus", they credit the violin as "real strings". I thank them for that.

Whiskey Woman, I think you hit it dead on. I think Nostradamus is awsome. Their best?? To me Sad Wings is their best, but after that it depends on my mood. That is what I love about Priest. Every album is great and special in its own way. Edited at: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 1:10:35 PM

I though this album was really cool, but its not my favorite. I'm not very into opera, but it's still awsome. |

| Its a good concept album but best ever is a stretch. |

Not their best ever, but you can make a case for their most ambitious and it definitely makes a lot of Top 5 Priest albums ever lists I would think.
