Guardian Angel! I completely agree with you! Most people don't like change and are scared of anything new. It's too bad for them because that is how you discover new things that you find you love. I really wish that Priest would receive the recognition that they so truly deserve. It's a real shame that people tend to appreciate things only when they are gone and then it is too late....
That's why I LOVE Priest too - there is an album for my every mood [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guardian angel from Tuesday, November 17, 2009 5:20:17 PM)

I think these guys are so talented and take lots of chances as far the direction of their music. If I can say anything, maybe those other bands stuck to the formula that works for them, and people know what they're getting and are more comfortable with that. Priest is always evolving & challenging themselves. And THAT is precisely what appeals to me about them. They have music that covers different moods and vibes, but their style & flavour still comes through.

I agree also, Priest doesn't get the recognition they deserve at all. And yeah, some people do have a problem with the fact Rob is gay - who the fuck cares if he's gay, what's it got to do with anyone else? And, what has it got to do with the music? NOTHING!

Priest never gets the credit they deserve,there are lots of people that think Iron Maiden started heavy metal instead of Judas Priest..ect...its a shame.Maiden is very overrated in my books although I do like the band just not all of thier albums. And yes...if it were Maiden or Metallica doing a christmas album you could find it at every gas station let alone every music store!

Reading this, I am seriously looking forward to hearing these songs, but I've been restraining myself because I really don't want to hear Christmas music until its actually getting close to Christmas. Maybe I'll buy it and sneak it in the Best Christmas ever' cd case, or better yet the 'Carols from Kings college'. See if my family notices...
Aaaah, if only we could sing them that way at Mass!! His voice is amazing on this. I LOVE this album and I don't care what others say about it. I hope you enjoy the rest of it because I sure do!

If you read the post properly i was just saying that Turbo had all of the commercial aspects of British Steel i didn't compare the album to Turbo in terms of music style as i have clearly stated it is not a metal album. And lets be honest although Turbo might seem like a commercial album and it is radio friendly i doubt that it received any airtime at all and nowhere near as much as British Steel with Breaking the Law and Living after Midnight. I'm starting to detect that you listen to nothing more than metal J.D? You know i would say i had a gift when starting to listen to Priest, Demolition had just come out. But i bought Living after Midnight (the greatest hits) first and i got a great feel of what Priest were all about. I appreciated every track on the CD and went out and bought the albums one afte the other. I grew to love them all. I also bought The Ripper era albums quite early and got into his music with Priest too and as a result i grew to love both vocalists approach to metal and the music with Priest. I guess i can thank my lucky stars that i wasn't buying the albums in order otherwise i might have ended up a frustrated and disapointed fan like J.D here. Ah well i might be of the minority and like the majority of Priests catalogue but i aint a fanboy either as i will admit that i think turbo Lover is not a great song nor is the second half of Turbo (not keen on Rocka Rolla although i love Cheater, One for the Road and Caviar and Meths. Most of POE doesn't get a listen but i that album has some true greats on it without a doubt. I hardly ever listen to Sad Wings of Destiny even though i understand its importance to metal music and Victim of Changes is a masterpiece (one of the greatest songs they have ever written if not the greatest) and i'll admit even some of Nostradamus strikes me as not great but i like most of the album. Demolition has some subpar tracks on it but i love some of it. In fact every album has songs that i don't like and rarely they have an album where i like every song but it happens, (Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith, Painkiller, Angel of Retribution, Jugulator, British Steel, Killing Machine, Stained Class) all amazing albums from start to finish.

JT I was there when British Steel came out and was a fan of British Steel I was 10 years old and my cousin told me to listen to it because I was such a huge Kiss fan in 1980 and when I heard British Steel I was blown away to say the least,in 1980 an album like British Steel "blew you away" because there was nothing like it back then. I MUST say that "TURBO" was anything but a "British Steel"!!!! So I am definately disagreeing with you as Turbo was NOT another "British Steel" 6 years later(not 7). I can't for the life of me figure out why you said it,and most importantly I can't understand "how" you could compare British Steel with Turbo...because of an uplifting tracks as Living After Midnight or Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise? LOL!! Sorry but those 2 tracks are uplifting and radio friendly songs and are commercial but are nowhere near the commercial aspects of the Turbo album. (YUK)!!!
JT_Small_Deadly_Space wrote:
The thing that people miss about Turbo is as much as it was a commerical flop, it does what it says on the tin, it is commercial, catchy and even fun man that's what British Steel was when it came to light however this was 7 years afterwards. I enjoy turbo, it's not exactly a heavy metal album and i know that it's more rock pop i guess but that's where the appeal lies. Everyone has a place in their heart for songs such as 'The Final Countdown' and 'Don't stop me now' by Queen etc why should 'Parental Guidance' be any different. 'Locked In' is one of the most uplifting tracks that Halford and the boys have ever come up with in my opinion and Out in the Cold is damn right awesome. When i hear Locked in it i get a feeling that i don't often get from Priest and it's just a sheer sense of happiness and excitement. Obviously all of their albums induce something within me whether it be aggression or anger etc and they put me in head banging mode but Turbo is different (except for the Private Property intro). It induces a totally different feeling but one that i still like. I think if it had been by a different band (one of the mainstream) then people would have loved it but beacuase it was by the studded metal rockers, people hate it. I think if bands can go outside their box and create something better than another band could have done of their own genre, then hell they deserve a pat on the back. Turbo is one of the best pop rock albums i've ever heard it may have failed at being a metal album but it succeeded on a whole new level. I can't leave without mentioning Reckless as i think it is trully the major stand out song of the album and something that could have easily went on Screaming For Vengeance, the guitar solo, the heavy riff and the vocals are just genius. As for POE well i think it failed as a metal album and didn't really succeed on many other levels although there are some great old British Steel standouts on there!
As for Halford stuff i believe that one day we will get another Halford metal album, after all if what you said is true J.D, Christmas 2010 aint for another year yet and Prest aint gonna be touring for a while. I believe Halford will do something more cause the music he has produced so far in that band has been outstanding and that is what the metal world is crying out for right now, Halford just needs to hear those cries =)

JT, I have bought the albums in order since SFV, and I'm not a frustrated or disappointed fan. I'm also not a fangirl. Priest has always written from the heart and the way they feel at that moment in time. Turbo was a product of the times. I think those of us around at that time were disappointed because we saw metal going down the tubes. It became all about the hair bands. Then Priest comes out with an album that sounds like they are trying to do the same thing. Listening to that album now is NOT the same as when it came out. Completely different vibe during those times. Those times were very much PARTY till you puke, have fun until you pass out, live to excess I listen to Turbo and that feeling comes back. It's a fun album and it makes me want to drive around in my car with the windows down. But it's not one of Priests bests and it's one of my least favorites.
If you read the post properly i was just saying that Turbo had all of the commercial aspects of British Steel i didn't compare the album to Turbo in terms of music style as i have clearly stated it is not a metal album. And lets be honest although Turbo might seem like a commercial album and it is radio friendly i doubt that it received any airtime at all and nowhere near as much as British Steel with Breaking the Law and Living after Midnight. I'm starting to detect that you listen to nothing more than metal J.D? You know i would say i had a gift when starting to listen to Priest, Demolition had just come out. But i bought Living after Midnight (the greatest hits) first and i got a great feel of what Priest were all about. I appreciated every track on the CD and went out and bought the albums one afte the other. I grew to love them all. I also bought The Ripper era albums quite early and got into his music with Priest too and as a result i grew to love both vocalists approach to metal and the music with Priest. I guess i can thank my lucky stars that i wasn't buying the albums in order otherwise i might have ended up a frustrated and disapointed fan like J.D here. Ah well i might be of the minority and like the majority of Priests catalogue but i aint a fanboy either as i will admit that i think turbo Lover is not a great song nor is the second half of Turbo (not keen on Rocka Rolla although i love Cheater, One for the Road and Caviar and Meths. Most of POE doesn't get a listen but i that album has some true greats on it without a doubt. I hardly ever listen to Sad Wings of Destiny even though i understand its importance to metal music and Victim of Changes is a masterpiece (one of the greatest songs they have ever written if not the greatest) and i'll admit even some of Nostradamus strikes me as not great but i like most of the album. Demolition has some subpar tracks on it but i love some of it. In fact every album has songs that i don't like and rarely they have an album where i like every song but it happens, (Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith, Painkiller, Angel of Retribution, Jugulator, British Steel, Killing Machine, Stained Class) all amazing albums from start to finish.

I MUST say that "TURBO" was anything but a "British Steel"!!!! So I am definately disagreeing with you as Turbo was NOT another "British Steel" 6 years later(not 7). I can't for the life of me figure out why you said it,and most importantly I can't understand "how" you could compare British Steel with Turbo...because of an uplifting tracks as Living After Midnight or Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise? LOL!! Sorry but those 2 tracks are uplifting and radio friendly songs and are commercial but are nowhere near the commercial aspects of the Turbo album. (YUK)!!!

Everyone has a place in their heart for songs such as 'The Final Countdown' and 'Don't stop me now' by Queen etc why should 'Parental Guidance' be any different. 'Locked In' is one of the most uplifting tracks that Halford and the boys have ever come up with in my opinion and Out in the Cold is damn right awesome. When i hear Locked in it i get a feeling that i don't often get from Priest and it's just a sheer sense of happiness and excitement. Obviously all of their albums induce something within me whether it be aggression or anger etc and they put me in head banging mode but Turbo is different (except for the Private Property intro). It induces a totally different feeling but one that i still like. I think if it had been by a different band (one of the mainstream) then people would have loved it but beacuase it was by the studded metal rockers, people hate it. I think if bands can go outside their box and create something better than another band could have done of their own genre, then hell they deserve a pat on the back. Turbo is one of the best pop rock albums i've ever heard it may have failed at being a metal album but it succeeded on a whole new level. I can't leave without mentioning Reckless as i think it is trully the major stand out song of the album and something that could have easily went on Screaming For Vengeance, the guitar solo, the heavy riff and the vocals are just genius. As for POE well i think it failed as a metal album and didn't really succeed on many other levels although there are some great old British Steel standouts on there!
As for Halford stuff i believe that one day we will get another Halford metal album, after all if what you said is true J.D, Christmas 2010 aint for another year yet and Prest aint gonna be touring for a while. I believe Halford will do something more cause the music he has produced so far in that band has been outstanding and that is what the metal world is crying out for right now, Halford just needs to hear those cries =)

I am hearing your vibe brother! I agree that Turbo is no Painkiller, but it fit the era at the time, which was California hair metal. Hmm...What was big back then. Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt, Cinderella, etc. That was the mood. I like quite a few songs on Turbo, but I definitely saw it going in a different direction than Defenders of the Faith. (Which is my all time favorite Priest offering. Probably due to it being my first.) As for Halford, he has put out some phenomenal music with his solo band. I have to say I am incredibly disappointed that Judas Priest listened too closely to the complainers of Nostradamus and in the end barely played a single thing off their new album, which they poured months of work and soul into, then kept it in a drawer. ??? I am feeling let down that they couldn't even play the song Nostradamus, (or Alone or Persecution) live. Such awesome powerful songs, and to think I may never hear it live. I apologize, none of this has anything to do with this topic. P.S. I am thrilled to be having a metal Christmas. Thanks Rob!

Turbo was just basically Priest trying to fit in with the hair band trend at the time.
They tried but it just didn't work.

I think if bands can go outside their box and create something better than another band could have done of their own genre, then hell they deserve a pat on the back. Turbo is one of the best pop rock albums i've ever heard it may have failed at being a metal album but it succeeded on a whole new level. I can't leave without mentioning Reckless as i think it is trully the major stand out song of the album and something that could have easily went on Screaming For Vengeance, the guitar solo, the heavy riff and the vocals are just genius. As for POE well i think it failed as a metal album and didn't really succeed on many other levels although there are some great old British Steel standouts on there!
As for Halford stuff i believe that one day we will get another Halford metal album, after all if what you said is true J.D, Christmas 2010 aint for another year yet and Prest aint gonna be touring for a while. I believe Halford will do something more cause the music he has produced so far in that band has been outstanding and that is what the metal world is crying out for right now, Halford just needs to hear those cries =)

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.

Those 6 tracks blow away Turbo so far out of the water it is not even close in my opinion.

The 4 songs on P.O.E. that suck are Don't Go,You Say Yes,All The Way and Trouble Shooter. Turbo has way more shit songs.

I believe there should be different genres for every time of the year and it shouldn't matter what the topic is if the music is good. Halford always manages to bring out something that is missing.

I have to say I feel the same way. There are great songs on virtually every album Priest has made, and some duds too. I think the weakest offering was Point Of Entry, though I love Heading out to the Highway and Solar Angels. It has a different feel to it. More Arizona, than British steel mill. I personally like that they have the balls to try new things and not get stuck in the AC/DC every album sounds the same rutt. Don't get me wrong, I like AC/DC too, but throw in any album, it doesn't matter. You'll get the same sound. I came on board during Defenders of the Faith, and that is my most listened to album/cassette & CD. Oddly, next most listened to is Nostradamus. I like it. Not every song, but most of them. I also love Sad Wings & Sin after Sin, Screaming, etc etc. Every offering has something awesome on it. As for Winter Songs, I like what I've heard, and Rob can sing about toast and I'd likely love him more, but quite frankly, we need to have some metal over the holidays. It can't all be Bing Crosby, Madonna's Santa Baby, and the church versions. THANKS Rob for filling the void!
JT_Small_Deadly_Space wrote:
Well maybe not to you no but fans of the album would probably disagree with you. I love every Priest album and they were definately the ones that set the benchmark for metal, i even see the good in Turbo 'Locked In' is one of my favourite all time Priest tracks and so is 'Out in the Cold' in fact i like the whole first half aof the album plus Wreckless. Rather than pick faults with albums which just ruins things, i find the good in all albums and that way i can enjoy whatever i'm listening to and not be disappointed. It's a shame more people here can't think it the same way. Besides sometimes it's the small things that make albums great i bet critics don't go wow, the chorus in 'Future of Mankind' is one of the best that Priest have ever written or wow the guitar playing in 'Nostradamus' (the track) is some of the best they have ever done or wow Halford gives one of the best performances of his entire career on 'Exiled' or wow 'Persecution' is a real heavy mo fo featuring yet again an awesome chorus, or yet wow 'Death' is one of the most evil and atmospheric tracks they have ever written or wow 'Alone' is one of, if not the best ballad they have ever written besides Angel!
Rather than finding the gems in something they just brush it off and go bah what a disapointment and i tell you, i bet Priest feel let down by that too cause they poured their heart and soul into that album even if some of the tracks weren't up to 'heavy metal standards'. It doesn't make it bad music that's all i'm saying.

You can cut and paste Nostradamus all you want but is still doesn't bring it up to the metal standards they set in the past.
JT_Small_Deadly_Space wrote:
The reason people don;t like Nostradamus so much is because it has layers, whereas albums such as Painkiller and Jugulator didn't. It was just power power power etc. Nostradamus is a very diverse album which fetures many different tempos and feelings. Some weren't as powerful as i'd hoped but hey they guys tried. I think if you exclude most of the prologues and a couple of songs and a are left with this: Dawn of creation, Prophecy, Revelations, Pestilence and plague, Death, Conquest, Persecution, Alone, Visions, Calm before the Storn, Nostradamus, Future of Mankind. Now that would have been good. I can share some of your disapontment because i too was when i first heard it but for some reason it still syands to this day as my most listened to album. I obviously pick out my favourites but Hell i genuinely enjoy it. Drums/production could have been more creative/better and some of the lyrics but for the most part they rocked hard. I just thought it was well though out, the emotion and feeling that came out through some of the tracks were overwhelming and i salute them for putting this together. It showed a different side to them that only comes out in tracks from their earliest albums. I think possibly the best allround track would have to be Alone that is a true Priest ballad and classic in my opinion. Nostradamus and Persecution are the heavy ass tracks which i love above many of their well known hits. But still i would like to see a return to good old British Steel! Something with relentless double bass, Strumming heavy riffs with harmonics and thunderous Halford screams although i fear they may be few and far between but still. Give us some good old prime British metal! As for winter songs i will not judge further until i hear the whole album. If the music is good it will get my vote despite the topic.

Don't get me wrong, I like AC/DC too, but throw in any album, it doesn't matter. You'll get the same sound. I came on board during Defenders of the Faith, and that is my most listened to album/cassette & CD. Oddly, next most listened to is Nostradamus. I like it. Not every song, but most of them. I also love Sad Wings & Sin after Sin, Screaming, etc etc. Every offering has something awesome on it. As for Winter Songs, I like what I've heard, and Rob can sing about toast and I'd likely love him more, but quite frankly, we need to have some metal over the holidays. It can't all be Bing Crosby, Madonna's Santa Baby, and the church versions. THANKS Rob for filling the void!

Well maybe not to you no but fans of the album would probably disagree with you. I love every Priest album and they were definately the ones that set the benchmark for metal, i even see the good in Turbo 'Locked In' is one of my favourite all time Priest tracks and so is 'Out in the Cold' in fact i like the whole first half aof the album plus Wreckless. Rather than pick faults with albums which just ruins things, i find the good in all albums and that way i can enjoy whatever i'm listening to and not be disappointed. It's a shame more people here can't think it the same way. Besides sometimes it's the small things that make albums great i bet critics don't go wow, the chorus in 'Future of Mankind' is one of the best that Priest have ever written or wow the guitar playing in 'Nostradamus' (the track) is some of the best they have ever done or wow Halford gives one of the best performances of his entire career on 'Exiled' or wow 'Persecution' is a real heavy mo fo featuring yet again an awesome chorus, or yet wow 'Death' is one of the most evil and atmospheric tracks they have ever written or wow 'Alone' is one of, if not the best ballad they have ever written besides Angel!
Rather than finding the gems in something they just brush it off and go bah what a disapointment and i tell you, i bet Priest feel let down by that too cause they poured their heart and soul into that album even if some of the tracks weren't up to 'heavy metal standards'. It doesn't make it bad music that's all i'm saying.

The reason people don;t like Nostradamus so much is because it has layers, whereas albums such as Painkiller and Jugulator didn't.

Now that would have been good. I can share some of your disapontment because i too was when i first heard it but for some reason it still syands to this day as my most listened to album. I obviously pick out my favourites but Hell i genuinely enjoy it. Drums/production could have been more creative/better and some of the lyrics but for the most part they rocked hard. I just thought it was well though out, the emotion and feeling that came out through some of the tracks were overwhelming and i salute them for putting this together. It showed a different side to them that only comes out in tracks from their earliest albums. I think possibly the best allround track would have to be Alone that is a true Priest ballad and classic in my opinion. Nostradamus and Persecution are the heavy ass tracks which i love above many of their well known hits. But still i would like to see a return to good old British Steel! Something with relentless double bass, Strumming heavy riffs with harmonics and thunderous Halford screams although i fear they may be few and far between but still. Give us some good old prime British metal! As for winter songs i will not judge further until i hear the whole album. If the music is good it will get my vote despite the topic.

Those 6 tracks blow away Turbo so far out of the water it is not even close in my opinion. The only 3 tracks off Turbo I can stand are Out In The Cold,Wild Nights and Reckless and even those songs are nowhere near the quality of these 6 tracks off of P.O.E....the rest of the songs on Turbo are garbage. The 4 songs on P.O.E. that suck are Don't Go,You Say Yes,All The Way and Trouble Shooter. Turbo has way more shit songs.

Yes i would say Nostradamus is one of my most listened to albums too, i can't explain why but it is i, like you like a lot of songs on that album. I have also been through that unstoppable phase of listening to The Ripper era. I love Jugulator and Priest have never sounded heavier (would have been better with Halford though for sure). I believe there should be different genres for every time of the year and it shouldn't matter what the topic is if the music is good. Halford always manages to bring out something that is missing. Ressurection was a return to pure heavy metal, Crucible well that was an experimental album for sure but it paid off, the title track is one of the greatest opening tracks of all time (despite the intro Park Manor). Get into the Spirit rocks hard and i look forward to the rest of the album!

Don't get me wrong, I like AC/DC too, but throw in any album, it doesn't matter. You'll get the same sound. I came on board during Defenders of the Faith, and that is my most listened to album/cassette & CD. Oddly, next most listened to is Nostradamus. I like it. Not every song, but most of them. I also love Sad Wings & Sin after Sin, Screaming, etc etc. Every offering has something awesome on it. As for Winter Songs, I like what I've heard, and Rob can sing about toast and I'd likely love him more, but quite frankly, we need to have some metal over the holidays. It can't all be Bing Crosby, Madonna's Santa Baby, and the church versions. THANKS Rob for filling the void!

Well maybe not to you no but fans of the album would probably disagree with you.

Rather than pick faults with albums which just ruins things, i find the good in all albums and that way i can enjoy whatever i'm listening to and not be disappointed. It's a shame more people here can't think it the same way. Besides sometimes it's the small things that make albums great i bet critics don't go wow, the chorus in 'Future of Mankind' is one of the best that Priest have ever written or wow the guitar playing in 'Nostradamus' (the track) is some of the best they have ever done or wow Halford gives one of the best performances of his entire career on 'Exiled' or wow 'Persecution' is a real heavy mo fo featuring yet again an awesome chorus, or yet wow 'Death' is one of the most evil and atmospheric tracks they have ever written or wow 'Alone' is one of, if not the best ballad they have ever written besides Angel!
Rather than finding the gems in something they just brush it off and go bah what a disapointment and i tell you, i bet Priest feel let down by that too cause they poured their heart and soul into that album even if some of the tracks weren't up to 'heavy metal standards'. It doesn't make it bad music that's all i'm saying.

I just thought it was well though out, the emotion and feeling that came out through some of the tracks were overwhelming and i salute them for putting this together. It showed a different side to them that only comes out in tracks from their earliest albums. I think possibly the best allround track would have to be Alone that is a true Priest ballad and classic in my opinion. Nostradamus and Persecution are the heavy ass tracks which i love above many of their well known hits. But still i would like to see a return to good old British Steel! Something with relentless double bass, Strumming heavy riffs with harmonics and thunderous Halford screams although i fear they may be few and far between but still.

I think it was Rob. I remember an interview with Ian and he said that Rob was jerked around so much while filming that part that he threw up in the helmet. I guess even the Metal God pukes once in a while
Turbo was the biggest disappointment for me of any of the Priest albums..... the only song I really like is Out in the Cold. Something about the way Rob sings that makes me want to rescue him [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Thursday, November 05, 2009 11:59:21 PM)

Those 6 tracks blow away Turbo so far out of the water it is not even close in my opinion. The only 3 tracks off Turbo I can stand are Out In The Cold,Wild Nights and Reckless and even those songs are nowhere near the quality of these 6 tracks off of P.O.E....the rest of the songs on Turbo are garbage. The 4 songs on P.O.E. that suck are Don't Go,You Say Yes,All The Way and Trouble Shooter. Turbo has way more shit songs.

While Turbo is hated by many, there are some good songs on it. "Turbo Lover" is not bad, once you got used to the synths. And Like I said, Turbo Lover isn't too bad. I'll cave a little on "Locked in" but that is about it, unless you just in a total 80's fit. Nope, my least favorite JP album. Loved the videos for being very funny though, and the Turbo Card commericals. Too funny. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Thursday, November 05, 2009 5:01:01 PM)

Yes i would say Nostradamus is one of my most listened to albums too, i can't explain why but it is i, like you like a lot of songs on that album. I have also been through that unstoppable phase of listening to The Ripper era. I love Jugulator and Priest have never sounded heavier (would have been better with Halford though for sure). I believe there should be different genres for every time of the year and it shouldn't matter what the topic is if the music is good. Halford always manages to bring out something that is missing. Ressurection was a return to pure heavy metal, Crucible well that was an experimental album for sure but it paid off, the title track is one of the greatest opening tracks of all time (despite the intro Park Manor). Get into the Spirit rocks hard and i look forward to the rest of the album!

I have to say I feel the same way. There are great songs on virtually every album Priest has made, and some duds too.

I personally like that they have the balls to try new things and not get stuck in the AC/DC every album sounds the same rutt. Don't get me wrong, I like AC/DC too, but throw in any album, it doesn't matter. You'll get the same sound. I came on board during Defenders of the Faith, and that is my most listened to album/cassette & CD. Oddly, next most listened to is Nostradamus. I like it. Not every song, but most of them. I also love Sad Wings & Sin after Sin, Screaming, etc etc. Every offering has something awesome on it. As for Winter Songs, I like what I've heard, and Rob can sing about toast and I'd likely love him more, but quite frankly, we need to have some metal over the holidays. It can't all be Bing Crosby, Madonna's Santa Baby, and the church versions. THANKS Rob for filling the void!

Well maybe not to you no but fans of the album would probably disagree with you. I love every Priest album and they were definately the ones that set the benchmark for metal, i even see the good in Turbo 'Locked In' is one of my favourite all time Priest tracks and so is 'Out in the Cold' in fact i like the whole first half aof the album plus Wreckless. Rather than pick faults with albums which just ruins things, i find the good in all albums and that way i can enjoy whatever i'm listening to and not be disappointed. It's a shame more people here can't think it the same way. Besides sometimes it's the small things that make albums great i bet critics don't go wow, the chorus in 'Future of Mankind' is one of the best that Priest have ever written or wow the guitar playing in 'Nostradamus' (the track) is some of the best they have ever done or wow Halford gives one of the best performances of his entire career on 'Exiled' or wow 'Persecution' is a real heavy mo fo featuring yet again an awesome chorus, or yet wow 'Death' is one of the most evil and atmospheric tracks they have ever written or wow 'Alone' is one of, if not the best ballad they have ever written besides Angel!
Rather than finding the gems in something they just brush it off and go bah what a disapointment and i tell you, i bet Priest feel let down by that too cause they poured their heart and soul into that album even if some of the tracks weren't up to 'heavy metal standards'. It doesn't make it bad music that's all i'm saying.

The reason people don;t like Nostradamus so much is because it has layers, whereas albums such as Painkiller and Jugulator didn't. It was just power power power etc. Nostradamus is a very diverse album which fetures many different tempos and feelings. Some weren't as powerful as i'd hoped but hey they guys tried. I think if you exclude most of the prologues and a couple of songs and a are left with this: Dawn of creation, Prophecy, Revelations, Pestilence and plague, Death, Conquest, Persecution, Alone, Visions, Calm before the Storn, Nostradamus, Future of Mankind. Now that would have been good. I can share some of your disapontment because i too was when i first heard it but for some reason it still syands to this day as my most listened to album. I obviously pick out my favourites but Hell i genuinely enjoy it. Drums/production could have been more creative/better and some of the lyrics but for the most part they rocked hard. I just thought it was well though out, the emotion and feeling that came out through some of the tracks were overwhelming and i salute them for putting this together. It showed a different side to them that only comes out in tracks from their earliest albums. I think possibly the best allround track would have to be Alone that is a true Priest ballad and classic in my opinion. Nostradamus and Persecution are the heavy ass tracks which i love above many of their well known hits. But still i would like to see a return to good old British Steel! Something with relentless double bass, Strumming heavy riffs with harmonics and thunderous Halford screams although i fear they may be few and far between but still. Give us some good old prime British metal! As for winter songs i will not judge further until i hear the whole album. If the music is good it will get my vote despite the topic.

Becks, I agree with you. Point of Entry is underated. There are some lame songs on there like, "Don't Go" and "Troubleshooter" but I love "Solar Angels" and about all the other songs on it! That album came out when stereos that were sufisticated could start to be bought by the masses, and the beginning of that song just sent chills down my spine!

Those 6 tracks blow away Turbo so far out of the water it is not even close in my opinion. The only 3 tracks off Turbo I can stand are Out In The Cold,Wild Nights and Reckless and even those songs are nowhere near the quality of these 6 tracks off of P.O.E....the rest of the songs on Turbo are garbage. The 4 songs on P.O.E. that suck are Don't Go,You Say Yes,All The Way and Trouble Shooter. Turbo has way more shit songs.

I came on board during Defenders of the Faith, and that is my most listened to album/cassette & CD. Oddly, next most listened to is Nostradamus. I like it. Not every song, but most of them. I also love Sad Wings & Sin after Sin, Screaming, etc etc. Every offering has something awesome on it. As for Winter Songs, I like what I've heard, and Rob can sing about toast and I'd likely love him more, but quite frankly, we need to have some metal over the holidays. It can't all be Bing Crosby, Madonna's Santa Baby, and the church versions. THANKS Rob for filling the void!

Well maybe not to you no but fans of the album would probably disagree with you. I love every Priest album and they were definately the ones that set the benchmark for metal, i even see the good in Turbo 'Locked In' is one of my favourite all time Priest tracks and so is 'Out in the Cold' in fact i like the whole first half aof the album plus Wreckless. Rather than pick faults with albums which just ruins things, i find the good in all albums and that way i can enjoy whatever i'm listening to and not be disappointed. It's a shame more people here can't think it the same way. Besides sometimes it's the small things that make albums great i bet critics don't go wow, the chorus in 'Future of Mankind' is one of the best that Priest have ever written or wow the guitar playing in 'Nostradamus' (the track) is some of the best they have ever done or wow Halford gives one of the best performances of his entire career on 'Exiled' or wow 'Persecution' is a real heavy mo fo featuring yet again an awesome chorus, or yet wow 'Death' is one of the most evil and atmospheric tracks they have ever written or wow 'Alone' is one of, if not the best ballad they have ever written besides Angel!
Rather than finding the gems in something they just brush it off and go bah what a disapointment and i tell you, i bet Priest feel let down by that too cause they poured their heart and soul into that album even if some of the tracks weren't up to 'heavy metal standards'. It doesn't make it bad music that's all i'm saying.

I think if you exclude most of the prologues and a couple of songs and a are left with this: Dawn of creation, Prophecy, Revelations, Pestilence and plague, Death, Conquest, Persecution, Alone, Visions, Calm before the Storn, Nostradamus, Future of Mankind. Now that would have been good. I can share some of your disapontment because i too was when i first heard it but for some reason it still syands to this day as my most listened to album. I obviously pick out my favourites but Hell i genuinely enjoy it. Drums/production could have been more creative/better and some of the lyrics but for the most part they rocked hard. I just thought it was well though out, the emotion and feeling that came out through some of the tracks were overwhelming and i salute them for putting this together. It showed a different side to them that only comes out in tracks from their earliest albums. I think possibly the best allround track would have to be Alone that is a true Priest ballad and classic in my opinion. Nostradamus and Persecution are the heavy ass tracks which i love above many of their well known hits. But still i would like to see a return to good old British Steel! Something with relentless double bass, Strumming heavy riffs with harmonics and thunderous Halford screams although i fear they may be few and far between but still. Give us some good old prime British metal! As for winter songs i will not judge further until i hear the whole album. If the music is good it will get my vote despite the topic.

Those 6 tracks blow away Turbo so far out of the water it is not even close in my opinion. The only 3 tracks off Turbo I can stand are Out In The Cold,Wild Nights and Reckless and even those songs are nowhere near the quality of these 6 tracks off of P.O.E....the rest of the songs on Turbo are garbage. The 4 songs on P.O.E. that suck are Don't Go,You Say Yes,All The Way and Trouble Shooter. Turbo has way more shit songs.

I believe there should be different genres for every time of the year and it shouldn't matter what the topic is if the music is good. Halford always manages to bring out something that is missing.

As for Winter Songs, I like what I've heard, and Rob can sing about toast and I'd likely love him more, but quite frankly, we need to have some metal over the holidays. It can't all be Bing Crosby, Madonna's Santa Baby, and the church versions. THANKS Rob for filling the void!

Well maybe not to you no but fans of the album would probably disagree with you.

Rather than pick faults with albums which just ruins things, i find the good in all albums and that way i can enjoy whatever i'm listening to and not be disappointed. It's a shame more people here can't think it the same way. Besides sometimes it's the small things that make albums great i bet critics don't go wow, the chorus in 'Future of Mankind' is one of the best that Priest have ever written or wow the guitar playing in 'Nostradamus' (the track) is some of the best they have ever done or wow Halford gives one of the best performances of his entire career on 'Exiled' or wow 'Persecution' is a real heavy mo fo featuring yet again an awesome chorus, or yet wow 'Death' is one of the most evil and atmospheric tracks they have ever written or wow 'Alone' is one of, if not the best ballad they have ever written besides Angel!
Rather than finding the gems in something they just brush it off and go bah what a disapointment and i tell you, i bet Priest feel let down by that too cause they poured their heart and soul into that album even if some of the tracks weren't up to 'heavy metal standards'. It doesn't make it bad music that's all i'm saying.

The reason people don;t like Nostradamus so much is because it has layers, whereas albums such as Painkiller and Jugulator didn't. It was just power power power etc. Nostradamus is a very diverse album which fetures many different tempos and feelings. Some weren't as powerful as i'd hoped but hey they guys tried. I think if you exclude most of the prologues and a couple of songs and a are left with this: Dawn of creation, Prophecy, Revelations, Pestilence and plague, Death, Conquest, Persecution, Alone, Visions, Calm before the Storn, Nostradamus, Future of Mankind. Now that would have been good. I can share some of your disapontment because i too was when i first heard it but for some reason it still syands to this day as my most listened to album. I obviously pick out my favourites but Hell i genuinely enjoy it. Drums/production could have been more creative/better and some of the lyrics but for the most part they rocked hard. I just thought it was well though out, the emotion and feeling that came out through some of the tracks were overwhelming and i salute them for putting this together. It showed a different side to them that only comes out in tracks from their earliest albums. I think possibly the best allround track would have to be Alone that is a true Priest ballad and classic in my opinion. Nostradamus and Persecution are the heavy ass tracks which i love above many of their well known hits. But still i would like to see a return to good old British Steel! Something with relentless double bass, Strumming heavy riffs with harmonics and thunderous Halford screams although i fear they may be few and far between but still. Give us some good old prime British metal! As for winter songs i will not judge further until i hear the whole album. If the music is good it will get my vote despite the topic.

LOL! Well to be fair,Don't Go,You Say Yes,All The Way,Trouble Shooter are FAR better than those 6 terrible songs on Turbo:
Turbo Lover
Locked In
Private Property
Parental Guidance
Rock You All Around The World
Hot For Love
YUK! Sorry Head Banger(lol!) Those 6 songs are equal to the 6 most terrible tracks from Judas Priest whatever they may be.
But I like those 4 other songs on Point of Entry! I hate you!

Those 6 tracks blow away Turbo so far out of the water it is not even close in my opinion. The only 3 tracks off Turbo I can stand are Out In The Cold,Wild Nights and Reckless and even those songs are nowhere near the quality of these 6 tracks off of P.O.E....the rest of the songs on Turbo are garbage. The 4 songs on P.O.E. that suck are Don't Go,You Say Yes,All The Way and Trouble Shooter. Turbo has way more shit songs.

Yes i would say Nostradamus is one of my most listened to albums too, i can't explain why but it is i, like you like a lot of songs on that album. I have also been through that unstoppable phase of listening to The Ripper era. I love Jugulator and Priest have never sounded heavier (would have been better with Halford though for sure). I believe there should be different genres for every time of the year and it shouldn't matter what the topic is if the music is good. Halford always manages to bring out something that is missing. Ressurection was a return to pure heavy metal, Crucible well that was an experimental album for sure but it paid off, the title track is one of the greatest opening tracks of all time (despite the intro Park Manor). Get into the Spirit rocks hard and i look forward to the rest of the album!

Although they are my favorite band I am NOT a Judas Priest "fan",I am a fan of Judas Priest's quality songs.

Know where to look but I buy my music from artists I absolutely adore. Never a question about JP or Halford.
No rip intended, just the truth from an honest trader who just downloaded a 90s version of the JP tour. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Necroticist from Saturday, October 31, 2009 6:12:08 PM)

Hi JT! The song "She" was written about Rob's mom. Halford's ability to change his voice to match the song is just amazing! No one will ever be better than our METAL GOD! And I can't wait for my Halford METAL Christmas!! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by JT_Small_Deadly_Space from Friday, October 30, 2009 4:47:53 AM)

Sun is a phenominal song. Am i mistaken or was that written about his mother? Yes i love Crucible on a whole probably more than Ressurection even though i love thaty album. The title track is one of the heaviest things i've ever heard and the intro riff gives me the shvers and then Rob's voice, my god (Halford) blew me away and i thought it couldn't be matched on any song then i heard Sad Wings on Live Insurrection which cemented his status to me as the one and only metal God, nobody and i mean nobody apart from Halford would ever be able to sing that song like that phenominal! Hell is Home is one of Rippers best definately i agree but Bloodstained struck such a chord with me i love that song! Now then as for POE yes i say it is their weakest album however it has some of my favourite tracks on it. The ones i like most are 'Heading out to the Highway', Hot Rockin, Desert Plains, Solar Angels (the best) and i even love You say Yes just for the calm and soothing bit in the middle. As for that i can say i didn't really enjoy the rest but i didn't mind Don't go either and yes there will be no sleep on Christmas Eve this year cause Halford will be shakin down my walls this yeah! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

What do you think of Sun on Crucible? That is the gem on that cd. I don't know what it is about that song, but it's spectacular. And he doesn't scream during any of it, it's pure singing and carrying a note. I just LOVE it. Definitely on my list of Top 10 Favorite Songs EVER. (I even tricked my husband into liking it by playing it, and THEN telling him who it was! Heehee!) I can't say much about the Ripper era, since I drifted a bit musically during that turbulent time. I do however like Hell is Home quite a bit, and Ripper definitely has pipes. But there's just something about Rob. He doesn't imitate anyone and he's got voices within voices. I met him once after the Painkiller concert, and he was a sweet gentleman! While giving him a hug, I took a deep sniff of his leathers! Good times.. Back to Winter Songs, I love their version of We Three Kings, it ROCKS! And Get Into The Spirit KICKS! I am deee-lighted to have METAL for Christmas and during our frigid ridiculous winters. I am disappointed that the 3 released songs were removed from YouTube, because now I have to wait until next week to hear the songs when I buy the first copy of Winter Songs! Old people, stay out of my way! I will knock you over.

Finally someone sees it from my point too! Yes POE was their weakest i agree with that cause i mean i aint gonna lie i love a lot of songs on Turbo, Locked in is one of my all time favourites! I would have loved to see them on that tour too like on The DVD Electric eye, the stage looked amazing and they were on top form with a full arena thousands of fans too oh man why couldn't i have been around in the 80s? Yes i would say Nostradamus is one of my most listened to albums too, i can't explain why but it is i, like you like a lot of songs on that album. I have also been through that unstoppable phase of listening to The Ripper era. I love Jugulator and Priest have never sounded heavier (would have been better with Halford though for sure). I believe there should be different genres for every time of the year and it shouldn't matter what the topic is if the music is good. Halford always manages to bring out something that is missing. Ressurection was a return to pure heavy metal, Crucible well that was an experimental album for sure but it paid off, the title track is one of the greatest opening tracks of all time (despite the intro Park Manor). Get into the Spirit rocks hard and i look forward to the rest of the album!

I have to say I feel the same way. There are great songs on virtually every album Priest has made, and some duds too. I think the weakest offering was Point Of Entry, though I love Heading out to the Highway and Solar Angels. It has a different feel to it. More Arizona, than British steel mill. I personally like that they have the balls to try new things and not get stuck in the AC/DC every album sounds the same rutt. Don't get me wrong, I like AC/DC too, but throw in any album, it doesn't matter. You'll get the same sound. I came on board during Defenders of the Faith, and that is my most listened to album/cassette & CD. Oddly, next most listened to is Nostradamus. I like it. Not every song, but most of them. I also love Sad Wings & Sin after Sin, Screaming, etc etc. Every offering has something awesome on it. As for Winter Songs, I like what I've heard, and Rob can sing about toast and I'd likely love him more, but quite frankly, we need to have some metal over the holidays. It can't all be Bing Crosby, Madonna's Santa Baby, and the church versions. THANKS Rob for filling the void!

Well maybe not to you no but fans of the album would probably disagree with you. I love every Priest album and they were definately the ones that set the benchmark for metal, i even see the good in Turbo 'Locked In' is one of my favourite all time Priest tracks and so is 'Out in the Cold' in fact i like the whole first half aof the album plus Wreckless. Rather than pick faults with albums which just ruins things, i find the good in all albums and that way i can enjoy whatever i'm listening to and not be disappointed. It's a shame more people here can't think it the same way. Besides sometimes it's the small things that make albums great i bet critics don't go wow, the chorus in 'Future of Mankind' is one of the best that Priest have ever written or wow the guitar playing in 'Nostradamus' (the track) is some of the best they have ever done or wow Halford gives one of the best performances of his entire career on 'Exiled' or wow 'Persecution' is a real heavy mo fo featuring yet again an awesome chorus, or yet wow 'Death' is one of the most evil and atmospheric tracks they have ever written or wow 'Alone' is one of, if not the best ballad they have ever written besides Angel!
Rather than finding the gems in something they just brush it off and go bah what a disapointment and i tell you, i bet Priest feel let down by that too cause they poured their heart and soul into that album even if some of the tracks weren't up to 'heavy metal standards'. It doesn't make it bad music that's all i'm saying.

The reason people don;t like Nostradamus so much is because it has layers, whereas albums such as Painkiller and Jugulator didn't. It was just power power power etc. Nostradamus is a very diverse album which fetures many different tempos and feelings. Some weren't as powerful as i'd hoped but hey they guys tried. I think if you exclude most of the prologues and a couple of songs and a are left with this: Dawn of creation, Prophecy, Revelations, Pestilence and plague, Death, Conquest, Persecution, Alone, Visions, Calm before the Storn, Nostradamus, Future of Mankind. Now that would have been good. I can share some of your disapontment because i too was when i first heard it but for some reason it still syands to this day as my most listened to album. I obviously pick out my favourites but Hell i genuinely enjoy it. Drums/production could have been more creative/better and some of the lyrics but for the most part they rocked hard. I just thought it was well though out, the emotion and feeling that came out through some of the tracks were overwhelming and i salute them for putting this together. It showed a different side to them that only comes out in tracks from their earliest albums. I think possibly the best allround track would have to be Alone that is a true Priest ballad and classic in my opinion. Nostradamus and Persecution are the heavy ass tracks which i love above many of their well known hits. But still i would like to see a return to good old British Steel! Something with relentless double bass, Strumming heavy riffs with harmonics and thunderous Halford screams although i fear they may be few and far between but still. Give us some good old prime British metal! As for winter songs i will not judge further until i hear the whole album. If the music is good it will get my vote despite the topic.

I never get tired of that performance although i think that the Live in London performance of it with Ripper is better. Let me just be clear i think the performance is better not the vocals but i did enjoy them too but Halford owns on this track. I just think the album version was too slow and this version is a bit too fast. Live in London they got it just right.

look on the bright side. early 90's rob wanted to do something different and had to leave the band. cost us 14 years of clasic priest. now its set so he can do side projects.

I really do respect your opinion but I really do think it is great that Priest are doing what THEY want to do and to me that is all that matters. I think every fan of Judas Priest has different opinions on why or what they like about them so it is impossible to make everybody happy when they release an album. Nostradamus is something very different but something they have been wanting to do, so I am very happy they did it. I happen to love the album but I like stories so to me it was great. So many times I hear a Priest song, and I think they could have made some sort of story about it. I have not heard the entire "Winter Songs" so it is way to early to give an opinion on it. I am very excited about some of the tracks Rob has decided to record on it. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Skybreaker from Tuesday, October 13, 2009 10:14:22 AM)

Seems to me what Priest is doing with this pushing metal forward concept is releasing Cd's like Nostradamus and Winter Songs (yes I know its Halford) and throw in just enough classic priest metal (although not much) to keep the fans hanging on hoping for something better in the next CD while they expirement with this stuff. Looks like they are almost going backwards instead of forwards to me.
From what I can tell, people that do not like Christmas / Christmas music are the ones upset by this album. Music is very personal and we all feel differently about songs because music has the power to take you back in time. I've always loved Christmas and Christmas carols so I'm excited to listen to what Rob has done with those old standards. But for those that don't like those songs in the first place, I can understand your not liking the album. I can see how someone that doesn't like Christmas in the first place would see this as a Stryper type of album, minus the spandex and big hair....*ugh* - at least that's what I'm getting reading the posts. I'm sorry that some fans will hate this album, but I'll be decorating and baking listening to this album all season long I'm sure. This just shows me that Rob can do ANYTHING! He just absolutely AMAZES me.

I have to say I feel the same way. There are great songs on virtually every album Priest has made, and some duds too. I think the weakest offering was Point Of Entry, though I love Heading out to the Highway and Solar Angels. It has a different feel to it. More Arizona, than British steel mill. I personally like that they have the balls to try new things and not get stuck in the AC/DC every album sounds the same rutt. Don't get me wrong, I like AC/DC too, but throw in any album, it doesn't matter. You'll get the same sound. I came on board during Defenders of the Faith, and that is my most listened to album/cassette & CD. Oddly, next most listened to is Nostradamus. I like it. Not every song, but most of them. I also love Sad Wings & Sin after Sin, Screaming, etc etc. Every offering has something awesome on it. As for Winter Songs, I like what I've heard, and Rob can sing about toast and I'd likely love him more, but quite frankly, we need to have some metal over the holidays. It can't all be Bing Crosby, Madonna's Santa Baby, and the church versions. THANKS Rob for filling the void!

Well maybe not to you no but fans of the album would probably disagree with you. I love every Priest album and they were definately the ones that set the benchmark for metal, i even see the good in Turbo 'Locked In' is one of my favourite all time Priest tracks and so is 'Out in the Cold' in fact i like the whole first half aof the album plus Wreckless. Rather than pick faults with albums which just ruins things, i find the good in all albums and that way i can enjoy whatever i'm listening to and not be disappointed. It's a shame more people here can't think it the same way. Besides sometimes it's the small things that make albums great i bet critics don't go wow, the chorus in 'Future of Mankind' is one of the best that Priest have ever written or wow the guitar playing in 'Nostradamus' (the track) is some of the best they have ever done or wow Halford gives one of the best performances of his entire career on 'Exiled' or wow 'Persecution' is a real heavy mo fo featuring yet again an awesome chorus, or yet wow 'Death' is one of the most evil and atmospheric tracks they have ever written or wow 'Alone' is one of, if not the best ballad they have ever written besides Angel!
Rather than finding the gems in something they just brush it off and go bah what a disapointment and i tell you, i bet Priest feel let down by that too cause they poured their heart and soul into that album even if some of the tracks weren't up to 'heavy metal standards'. It doesn't make it bad music that's all i'm saying.

Ah yes Before the Dawn an underated classic on a fantastic album. Yeah that struck me when i first heard it, it was like this song is completely different to the rest of the album it was like 'Last rose of summer' on Sin after Sin (one of my all time favourites and it aint exactly heavy metal). My favourite on Killing Machine is the title track (for the UK) it has so much power and raw energy i love it. As for other ballads i would say 'Turn on your Light' is a great song and i really wish that they had released this on an album rather than as a bonus track.

Its good you can find so many gems on Nostradamus but I just can't find that many. I think the best are Persecution, Conquest, Nostradamus and War.
The best ballad in my opinion is Before thr Dawn from Hell Bent. Simple song with a great solo right smack in the middle of it.

But JT,it just doen't work like that for most people. For me,I instantly either like it,or I do not like it right away. Nothing "grows on me" like how people say the song is growing on me,well nothing grows on me ever and the first listen of Nostradamus in its intirety I instantly did not like the album. For Skybreaker,he doesn't like Angel Of Retribution that much at all but to me its Judas Priest's 5th best album and has been since it came out but I'm not going to convince him that the album is great,to him it sucks and it is what it is.
Same thing with Guido,he hates the "A Matter Of Life And Death" album from Iron Maiden and thinks it sucks,well to me it is a good album,its not an A+ but its thier best album since Powerslave in my opinion and out of 10 tracks I like 8 of them(I hate Different World and Benjiman Bregg) but to Guido it is simply not,its a terrible album of terrible Iron Maiden material. Now to me I'm going no way man its pretty good,but it must remain a crappy album to him because what he hears is not going to get any better.
Nostradamus is this way to me and just because they poured thier heart and soul into the album doesn't mean we should like it to make up for thier hurt feelings and such(lol!). They have had many critics bash them and sometimes rightfully so. The Turbo album is the WORST thing Judas Priest has EVER done and I think that Winter Songs is the worst idea that Rob has come up with! lol!!

Guardian Angel! I completely agree with you! Most people don't like change and are scared of anything new. It's too bad for them because that is how you discover new things that you find you love. I really wish that Priest would receive the recognition that they so truly deserve. It's a real shame that people tend to appreciate things only when they are gone and then it is too late....
HALFORD
I figured I was going to get it when it came out, just out of curiosity. The pundits on another site I participate on were all groaning "Oh no, what the f*ck is he doing?". 
Awesome that he and the band did the songs metal!! 
If I go to Candlelight Mass this Xmas Eve, I'll have Halford's version of the songs running through my mind.
