@guido ... I think certain albums (not all) but some are not taken in all the way because of bad timing... Turbo isn't to my likings no because after Defenders I was starving for more...I think Nostrdamous was released in bad timing because we only got one album from Priest when Rob came back in Angel Of Retribution we were starving for another solid LP .
Had they released another LP in 2007 of pure metal and KK never quit .. then Nostrdamous in 2010 or 2011 would of been more understood but only to me I'm saying. I was dreading too much time between Nostrdamous and the next studio album and it turned out I was right...
listening to Nostrdamous now...is much better guido, no it's not my favorite but it isn't as BAD as I posted here in 2008 - ... and if you think about it... it kinda WAS not a good time for Nostrdamous... Rob had only been back in the band for 3 and a half years when they were working on it.
The world had just rejoiced Rob the Metal God coming back and the success of A.O.R. it just didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. As I said the same with Turbo coming off an album titled Defenders Of The Faith and then EXPLAINING to us in 1984 - 1985 that the "FAITH" means defending heavy metal and everything it stands for
...then in 1986 they do an about face 180 and Glam out with purple pink and yellow Turbo outfits and water the songs down on the Turbo album. So I think it's just a matter of timing sometimes that can hurt or help an album. It doesn't make an album better no but sometimes timing of when to release something makes it easier to digest.
