It's a tough listen. You first have to get your head around the whole "concept" idea and listen to it like a story, not a headbanging session. If you didn't like "Operation Mindcrime", you definitely won't like this. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaay more heady and requires a lot more from the listener. The songs on Mindcrime could stand alone. Some songs on Nostradamus can, but are much better in context. Some people got into "Tommy" and some didn't. That didn't mean that any one of them wasn't a Who fan.
