TOPIC: Next Priest Studio Album

[J.D. DIAMOND] Wednesday, May 20, 2009 3:30:33 AM

I could'nt disagree with you more here. I do however respect your opinion though. I don't think its a good idea for "METAL" bands to "experiment".

Thats just my personal opinion I realise. Take people who are not Judas Priest freaks like us but still love "heavy metal".......almost ALL of them do not like Nostradamus.

I swear,if it was Iron Maiden that did Nostradamus,everybody on this site would HATE IT! LOL! Its true...lol!!!

But since its JP..........

I think Judas Priest wasted thier time with experimental albums.....Point Of Entry may have some good tracks on it,but half of them are really under-par songs that are easy to forget.

Turbo,Ram It Down,Demolition and Nostradamus all of them are JP experimenting in one way or another.

Take Metallica....99.9% of all people big tall short and small all like thier first 3 albums with Cliff the best.....and its for good reason...."the song writting".

I feel that with the experimenting on Nostradamus,it hampered Judas Priest's song writting big time.

I don't like it when bands do something different......thats just me,but I understand how,and why you enjoy Nostradamus.....I'll have to wait for the next record and hope its a normal album.

This is what I hate most about Judas Priest....they don't always "deliver the goods"..........I hate it when I have to guess what they are going to do next.....I think it sucks.

Bands like AC/DC,Motorhead,Saxon....you know what your going to get............its hard enough to write a killer album let alone trying to experiment along the way.

I see another point in this debate too, and that is musical growth. Judas Priest are great musicians and, fortunately for us, they are full of ideas. You say Nostradamus is a masterpiece of experimentation and I agree with you. They explored new horizons with the album. They wanted to go beyond, adding new elements, techniques, knowledge within their style.

I`m sure many of you are musicians and you know experimentation is part of it. Sometimes you find yourself stuck, doing always the same. I think it`s important for musicians to dare to do different things, to do what they feel, to express what`s inside their minds. That`s what Judas Priest did. They challenged themselves and dared to do a concept, original album. Experimental if you like. I respect their job. We all know very well that they are not a commercial band but they do what they want and feel. What`s more, they care for growing as musicians.

Again, we all "Judas Priest fans" have different musical background so we`re touched by the albums in different ways. That`s the beauty of it!

I hope the world doesn`t come to an end yet to enjoy another great Judas Priest album!!!

I agree. I can't understand what is so awsome about "Nostradamus"? I know we all have our own opinions and such I realise,but this album is not a masterpiece of excellence,its a masterpiece of experimentation.

I listened to the entire album again last night and it was painful,the only tracks I like out of all 22 songs are Visions and Nostradamus....the same two songs they let us hear before they released the album.

I hope from touring British Steel album again,they will retreat back to the studio and create a real Judas Priest album with "great songs on it".

		I hope the next album will be heavy altogether, and fast on most of the tracks. I'd like to see them fill it with songs the likes of Painkiller, Metal Meltdown, One Shot At Glory, Judas Rising, Demonizer, Hellrider and Death. Maybe throw in a cruisy track the likes of Wheels Of Fire and a ballad the likes of Angel and one couldn't ask for more.
