		I received my Deluxe Edition Tuesday, and immediately popped it into my laptop (I hooked in my external speakers for better quality sound).  I am very much impressed by the production and the musicianship exhibited.  Rob's vocals are incredible.  I know the man can't scream like he did in his golden years, but seriously, who can?  Robert Plant sure as hell can't, and in fact I think only Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden is the only one left out of the creme de la creme of top notch vocalists from the 80's who still can.  But I don't let that deter from what I think of the songwriting.  Overall, I think it's masterful and very well done (albeit with a couple Spinal Tap-like moments).   Like a few you, I agree that CD1 is much more heavier than the second disc.  However, I think the uniqueness of that 2nd CD is what makes this such a special album.  Pestilence and Plague, Death, Prophecy, and Nostradamus are the tracks which stand out the most to me.  While I know there are plenty of you who don't care for the acoustic guitars and synths and those interludes between the main tracks, I personally enjoy them and love how everything is tied in so the album flows seamlessly!   All in all, an incredible CD.  9 out of 10.
