Free Music Notes for Nostradamus
Free Music Review: Metal Opera for Metal Heads
Hit: 5 Stars
all of you who are blasting Judas Priest for this latest endeavor are nuts. If all you want are power chords and high pitched screams Judas Priest has a plethora of recordings just up your alley. As for me one of my favorite albums of all time is Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche and they dared to actually have a concept to the album above 10-12 songs of varying degrees of the kind of thing they are known for. Now FINALLY Judas Priest takes that plunge and comes up with a really intense Metal Opera with a REAL story to tell. This album won't be for everyone but then again no album has ever satisfied everyone.
Judas Priest has really blown me away with Nostradamus's writing and musical direction. If your gonna whine about it please be very quiet while I smile and soak in the extaordinary music from my favorite band of all time .... and believe me I have been around almost as long enough to have been a classmate of Nostradamus's. =P

First of all, I would like to comment on what another so called Priest fan said on here about "Nostradomus" sounding like "Ram it down"? What the f@#k is this guy smoking? This album is something you have to get accustomed to, I know it's no "Painkiller" which I still think is their best album but this has a new twist to their style. It seems like their trying out their progressive style of Priest. Halford is hitting notes that I have not heard since maybe "Stained Glass" or "Sin after Sin". The drums are nothing special on this album but fits with this style they are trying. Guitars are alot more toned down but still can hear there style that Priest are known for. This album kind of reminds me of Queens "Innuendo" but better. I recomend this album to anyone who wants to hear another side to Judas Priest, I give it a 8/10. I don't recomend this album to anyone hoping to hear "Jugalator" or " Screaming for Vengeance" Laters........Free Music Review: An outstanding release

First off, this is not the classic Judas Priest of the 80's ala Screaming, Defenders, or even Turbo. This is a new direction for the Godfather's Of British Metal. Though somewhat like Turbo in it's symphonic use of keyboards, this a much more complicated effort musically. This is also one of Rob Halfords best vocal performances, and quite refreshing to hear an actual singer instead of the grunting, hacking up a goober style that prevails so much of todays metal bands. I think this is probably the best concept piece released since Savatage's "Streets" or QueensRyche's "Operation Mindcrime."
If you're expecting a rehash of old material, this is not what you're looking for. Priest has evolved thier sound and stepped up thier game with this release and I totally welcome it. This may be the last effort from the Priest after a more than 30 year stellar career. If so, then they go out with a bang, not a whimper.

I have been a Priest fan for a very long time and have always enjoyed the twists in their music over the years, some for the better, some for the worst, but all having the Judas Priest signature sounds. When I first heard Nostradamus I was taken back and a little confused, this wasn't the Priest I've known and loved for over 20 years, or so I first thought. The more I listened the more I liked it, and before long I found myself hooked. I find that each time I listen to it I catch something new. There are shades of Priest from Rocka Rolla all the way up to Painkiller, and much more. If you purchase this album expecting another Defenders of the Faith or Painkiller you may wind up being disappointed, but if you embrace the album on its own merits and give it a real good listen you'll find that the Priest has created another classic album, that hopefully years from now everyone will realize just how great this album is.Free Music Review: A release for true Judas Priest Fans Young and Especially Old

I grew up on the "harder and/or heavier" rock of the late 60's early 70's and on through 2010. I was first introduced to JP on the "Rock-a-Rolla" album. and have been a fan since. Change is good for a band whom have been going over 15 - 20 years. It keeps them from becoming stale and if some of the later releases aren't as well recieved as the older stuff you've got them, the older stuff to play. That being said, I believe that JP releasing their first "concept" album is a new shot into some GRANDFATHERS of METAL. I've since become a grand-father since first listening to them, and don't listen to the younger metal bands of today. But my kids, and grand children all listen to this album because of some of the reasons I've stated. That being said whether your an old Priest fan or a younger one. I really do belive that most all ages will really enjoy this release if given the proper time all will like it.
