Free Music Notes for Nostradamus
Free Music Review: This is how it should be done...
Hit: 5 Stars
.. when classic metal/hard rock bands like Priest put out new releases in the modern age. Seriously I am so glad that something as great NOSTRADAMUS has come out after oh so many dissapointments and failures by other old school bands putting out crappy new CDs such as Rush, Iron Maiden and Megadeth. NOSTRADAMUS is one of Judas Priest's best albums, that is for sure. People who are complaining don't know what they are talking about, this is Priest going back to it's progressive 70s roots, turning away from the commerical hit machine it was in the 80s. I'm glad they didn't do another Angle of Retribution, which was just a retred of established ideas, NOSTRADAMUS actually progress the band forward in new territories. Think Sad Wings of Destiny, think Sin After Sin, think dynamics and gothic doom vs. melodic and almost symphonic moments of beauty. That is what NOSTRADAMUS is folks. If you have been longing for the sound they had in the 70s to come back, with its epic-ness and dynamics, well here it is.Free Music Review: Priest make an amzing piece of Art (again)!!!

Oh my god This Disk is soooo good!!! Im a hardcore Priest fan. Im not just saying its great cause I love them so much either. But You have to understand that Priest never hyped this as the next Painkiller. They said from the beginning that this would be an experimental album that takes you on a journey. And they accomplished their goal.
There are alot of keyboards and they fit in with the material perfectly.
I thought Angel Of Retribution was amazing as well but had no desire for them to repeat them selves. I will say that the first time I heard it I knew it would take a few listens. I mean its over 2 hours of music. Dont try to judge it in 1 listen.
Favorite tracks so far:
Pestilence and Plague
WAR
Exiled (listen to the Terminator Drums, great!!!)
This is Priest like youve never heard 'em. And thats not a bad thing.
If you like it when bands dont rehash the same crap over, and over, and over I think you will enjoy this.
Free Music Review: Hats Off! Judas Priest at their best!
Hit: 5 Stars
Many of the younger fans forget that originally Judas Priest started as a progressive band. And over the years they have shown us so many faces, each of their albums different from the other. And they have done these transformations with ease and, apart from Turbo (their one and only disaster), all of their albums are great in a different way. Nostradamus is a summary of all their transformations and musically is their bravest and one of their most successful efforts. It's the ultimate proof of their songwriting genius, one of the most diverse and heartfelt performances from Rob Halford, pure delight. Not many groups are capable of doing this after a 40-year career (Judas Priest started in 1968!) being brilliant without repeating themselves. Highest moments- Prophecy, Pestilence and Plague, War (stunning epic), Death (Black Sabbath meets Judas Priest), Nostradamus (reminds the Painkiller album). Deep Purple's Don Airey is doing a great job on keyboards. Enjoy!Free Music Review: This MASTERPIECE showcases the BEST VOICE IN METAL
Hit: 5 Stars
I am STUNNED!!! Wow, what a masterpiece! The mighty Priest have outdone themselves!
I've been a fan since the beginning, Rocka Rolla, and their early masterpiece, Sad Wings of Destiny. Over the years, nothing had ever topped that...until now.
Rob's still got THE VOICE. Exquisite! He doesn't have to use harsh vocals to sound heavy, and he can still reach those highs. On this album, he not only proves he's still got it, but he reaches even higher, stretching his already masterful range. He even ventures into operatic singing that is just incredible!
Musically, Priest show that they have indeed evolved. Rather than trying to copy the new generation of metal, they have produced a masterful work that is totally their own...advanced JP! Rich, orchestral, complex, deep, heavy, emotionally evocative, musically mature...this is most definitely their FINEST WORK.
And that, for those in the know, is saying quite a lot.
Free Music Review: Too deep for the average Priest fan
Hit: 5 Stars
To be blunt, this album is just to deep for the average Priest fan. I own all the earlier Priest albums, and my personal favorites are Painkiller, Screaming for Vengeance, Sad Wings, and British Steel. Priest tried really hard to bring something different to the table this time, and for the most part is succeeds brilliantly. I think many of their fans just won't get it, because they are looking for either Painkiller brutality, or Screaming for Vengeance melody and "hits" as it were. Judas Priest is a band that is looking for new ways to expand the genre, and frankly since they are pretty much 1/2 of the founding fathers of Metal, (along with Sabbath) I think they have earned the right to try some new things. If you are willing to listen to the album with an open mind, and aren't looking for the same old same old. You will probably enjoy this music. If you want to listen to formula ad nauseum buy something by AC/DC. (who I love by the way)
