I agree with you hellrider but the thing that kinda bums me out is that we won't be able to get anymore "Halford" releases like "Ressurection" and "Crucible" because Halford already said in an interview that he plans on making another christmas album for this time next year so its compleately up to Priest now to deliver a metal masterpiece,not that they won't make a killer album but I was also looking forwards to hearing a new metal album from Halford instead of the Winter Songs album and next year's christmas album,but I guess thats the way it will be! lol!

If the next album is a full metal masterpiece of great tracks all the way through and can match the Painkiller album then I think that the Nostradamus album will be forgotton as Turbo was when Painkiller came out.
