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. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Skybreaker from Wednesday, October 14, 2009 10:30:09 AM)

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 have been waiting for the boys to drop the EMG pickups. And go back to the Marshall JCM800. Give us heads some molten metal. That killer tone. That is the sound that conquered. Unleashed in the East.

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.

You pertty much said it all with that post. I'm not as big a fan of Angel of Retribution like you are but it kind of looks lite that was the classic metal cd they felt they had to do after Rob came back. And now that its out of the way they want to this boaring Nostradamus metal. That cd is just boaring to listen to. I go back and listen to Screaming for Vengeance and it wipes the floor with Nostradamus big time!
"Pestilence and Plague" has to be one of the worst songs they have ever recorded.
Yes you are correct Skybreaker,they are going "backwards". Its just that people can't see it like we are seeeing this. One might ask the question: Are they getting "soft" on us?
And to answer JT's question: Yes I really do think that they would put another experimental album out regardless of any negative reviews on Nostradamus you bet.This is the
band that is a box of chocolates remember? Ya never know what your going to get!!! lol!!
Compared to band's albums of the last 5 years like Motorhead's Inferno,Kiss Of Death and Motorizer(2004-2008)and Saxon's Lionheart,The Inner Sanctum and Into The Labyrinth-
-(2004-2009) they are leaps and bounds better than Nostradamus and Winter Songs by far. And JT mentioned some of the heavier tracks on Nostradamus but they are not that
"quality" of songs to me even though they are heavyish.............they quality of these songs are nowhere near the charts of a song as good as Demonizer,Judas Rising,Hellrider or
Deal With The Devil,Whells Of Fire,not even close in my books.
Hellrider is the one to turn to for faith of this next record cause I've lost mine "again". ("SIGH"). I'm NOT looking forwards to the next Judas Priest album because with them....I don't
know "what" I will be getting,a heavy metal album or an experimental watered down "try something new" record? I don't want to get my hopes up just to be let down by another album
that Ken and the guys wanted to "do something different" with.And I know its something they have always done so don't go there(lol!)as they experimented with half of point of Entry
with weak tracks like "Don't Go,You Say Yes,All The Way,Trouble Shooter" and then the shit Turbo album,Ram It Down was experimental with weak tracks like Love Zone,I'm A Rocker
Love You To Death,and then the Demolition album that was terrible,Nostradamus and now Winter Songs?These are not christmas carols,these are religious christian hymns!!!!
This band should be focusing on making normal heavy metal instead of trying to push the bounderies of heavy metal and coming up short every time they try. Its getting "old".
I wouldn't be suprised at all if they came up with something even more outlandish than Nostradamus and Winter Songs put together! Is this band coming to its end?

It's a real shame that you don't cause you're missing out on a lot of music and i aint just on about metal either whether to do with Priest or not. Anyways more to the point it doesn't spell disaster to Priest because Christmas only comes but once year. Plus Halford said himself he feels it will be a strong heavy metal release. Priest have ever gone soft despite your views on Nostradamus their are some awesome heavy tracks on there, Prophecy, Death, Persecution, Visions, Nostradamus and Future of Mankind are all true Prest the others are contraversial i'll give you that but they always keep some elements there, After hearing a rather large amount of bad reviews of Nostradamus do you really think they will put out something that might further damage the bands reputation as a whole? I certainly don't. Halford can do what he likes on his own as far as i'm concerned, as long as Priest are still there to deliver the goods and i'm sure that is what we will be getting. They can't ignore fan requests but i still hope they do something new and fresh. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Monday, October 12, 2009 4:52:39 PM)

Relax, was joking about the christmas albums from Slayer and Megadeth. Can't believe you don't like South Of Heaven actually. I reckon it's a great album, Seasons In The Abyss is awesome too I think. You summed up Get In The Spirit perfectly, what a load of bullshit. Take some average metal by numbers tune that you're too lazy to write lyrics for and then put the words to some stupid christmas carol over the top, and there you have it. Winter Songs. FUCKING LAME!!! If Halford considers it anything other than a cash in on christmas he should hold back it's release until April. If the album can stand on it's own then i'll take my words back.

Relax, was joking about the christmas albums from Slayer and Megadeth. Can't believe you don't like South Of Heaven actually. I reckon it's a great album, Seasons In The Abyss is awesome too I think. You summed up Get In The Spirit perfectly, what a load of bullshit. Take some average metal by numbers tune that you're too lazy to write lyrics for and then put the words to some stupid christmas carol over the top, and there you have it. Winter Songs. FUCKING LAME!!! If Halford considers it anything other than a cash in on christmas he should hold back it's release until April. If the album can stand on it's own then i'll take my words back.

I am beginning to believe that we are not going to get "Judas Priest" back after Nostradamus and Winter Songs.....that may be the "poison" that spells disaster for this great band we've known and loved for all these years,think about it? lolAnd why in the hell did he have to use the Halford band name and album for this religious project anyways?

I for one look forward to hearing it. If the whole album is like Get into the Spirit it will be a true metal album. And sometimes i wish people (not particularly singling you out J.D) would have an open mind. Ok you have your opinion on what real metal should be about etc but music is evolving even if you don't like the topic the music itself should be enough for you to enjoy, Halford has released some heavy ass material here so i don't get why people are complaining?

Correct JD, i wasn't bashing Halford as a guy, i was just saying that i think the album was a dumb idea and a sellout. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Thursday, October 08, 2009 4:41:38 AM)

What? You really think that Angel Of Retribution was not that good? WTF? LOL! Oh my god Painkiller is a good album man but it doesn't wipe the floor up with it,no way.
And you only mention Judas Rising and Demonizer? You don't even mention "Hellrider" which has to be in the top 5 best songs from Judas Priest of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Judas Rising
Deal With The Devil
Revolution
Worth Fighting For
Demonizer
Wheels Of Fire
Angel
Hellrider
Eulegy
The only less quality track on here is Lochness but the first 9 tracks are fabulous!!! Revolution sounds like it could of been on Hell Bent For Leather right after the Killing Machine track!!!
Worth Fighting For reminds me of Desert Plains and Take These Chains mixed kind of,excellent track. Angel is total classic Judas Priest as was Dreamer Deceiver off Sad Wings Of Destiny.
Angel Of Retribution is the 5th best Judas Priest album of all time in my opinion,only Sad Wings Of Destiny,British Steel,Screaming For Vengeance,and Painkiller are better than this record!!!!
And I see where Jimmy James is coming from,the usual metal fan wants "metal" especially from the "metal god"....not "christmas songs". I don't think he really bashed Halford as he was just
frustrated with Rob's decision with Winter Songs. It is what it is...I just hope that the nest Priest record doesn't get infected by this!!!! (Quoting Message by Skybreaker from Wednesday, October 07, 2009 8:45:42 PM)

Everything on Painkiller is top choice metal. I think they could push traditonal metal to new heights if they wanted to but for some reason they try to do something different and it disapoints.

I do agree with everything else you have said here. I "hate it" when they try and "push metal into unfamiliar territories". Why can't they just push traditional metal.

Judas Priest has to be one of the most unpredictable heavy metal bands of all time. Thats good up to a certian point until they go too far with something like Nostradamus and Christmas songs. In my opinon they have released some very disapointing cd's. They are not very consistant and you have to waite forever between cd's. At one time I considered Priest the greatest metal band of all time but I'm not convinced of that any more. Painkiller was the last great Priest CD. Can they do it again with this next cd and regain their status as the best of all time or continue on with this pushing metal forward business and release another disapointing cd.

Oh, bite your tongue. I was with you until the Wall. Greatest concept album EVER (and my only self given tat via switchblade in Spain). For shame. You know I am an animation freak. One of the greatest of all time not to mention the fantastic tune. Love the movie version over the CD / LP version.

Yeah Guido I hear ya he don't know jackson about opera,he knows about as much as I do! lol! And yeah I said the Nostradamus album and the Winter Songs idea sucks and I do think so but its more of it sucks "for me" that I don't like it more than I'm ranking on other people's opinions. I often have said I am jealous of those who love the Nostradamus album and have been able to cross into that magical realm and see what the album has to offer,but I am one of those who can't see anything enough to get through to the other side "no matter how many times I listen to it" and with each listen it seems to get even worse if thats possible so I will never "get it".
The winter songs album idea is the same thing for me,I envy those who can get into this album because its something new from our favorite singer! Or I just say something "sucks"....same difference to me ya know.
Just as I thought. Silence = ingnorance. About 1/2 an hour to even Google one of the greatest materpieces ever created.
I can take J.D. stating openly that he doesn't like this or that before I can stand a blowhard who who doesn't know Mozart. Don Giovianni. Small wonder that he is my friend and you are not. (Quoting Message by Numero Uno from Friday, October 09, 2009 10:02:41 PM)

Mr. Diamond,
I have to respectfully disagree with you on the point of JP/Halford selling out on the select cd you listed with the exception of TURBO. IMO there's difference between selling out (for commcercial success) and exploring other musical avenues for personal gratification. In '86 if you remember MCrue, Poison, Ratt and other were all the "glam metal" and selling lots of records,lots of airplay...and JP tried to walk that line with the Turbo and their costumes to be more 'radio' friendly and be a jp version of the glam bands...This for me was selling out for $$$
The other times with JP and Halford I feel they/he was just exploring other musical interests/directions and not necessarily for commercial value as personal.. Rob has plenty of money, so like he said "I always wanted to make a christmas cd" . Many artist do Christmas cds mostly because of their own fond memories of the past and nothing more.....Rob's not following a commercail trend so to speak and in the vain I support anyone who has the ability and money to pursue their deisres even for little monetary gain...
Just my opinion....:)

And Guido is also right as the Nostradamus album really is not an opera album either.But I still think that album "sucks" as well,they both suck and the idea "sucks". Hey.,I'm just telling you how it is from my stand point.Not saying that any of you are,but just because its a Rob product or a Priest product doesn't mean it is quality. I am starting to wonder if the band 5 years after Angel Of Retribution is starting to ....dare I say it....get "soft" in thier old age??? Ouch!!!! That one hurt to say myself!! LOFL!!!!!!!!

Oh I completely agree, man. It is your right and you are not alone in your opinion! There are many that do not care for it, just as many have complained about Nostradamus. In fact, I would go so far as to suggest that the complaining is one BIG reason that Priest did not do the big Nostradamus tour this year. They went the more marketable direction and pushed British Steel and the 30th anniversary angle and it was a GREAT success. A fantastic success, I believe. Will they do that Nostradamus show? It is likely. I believe they will. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Friday, October 09, 2009 5:49:18 PM)

Well my friend, I think it is important that I say I do not want to go on record as accusing Rob of "selling out" That may be a bit harsh. Rob, Glenn and all other musicians make music for a living. That is their job. In the case of a Rob Halford, he is an entire "industry" within himself. He is larger than life in many respects. As such, the things that he does professionally affect many people and THEIR livelihoods. He is not making decisions only for himself. He has agents, producers, etc that all rely on him to do things that are at least somewhat lucrative so they can feed their families. I am not positive but I would guess Rob has a very nice bank account and lives very comfortably. In short, it is not ALL about him.
Having said this, perhaps Rob honestly enjoyed making these songs? There is really no way to get "inside his head" and say without a doubt that it is all about money. I have mentioned before that Priest are in the very unique and comfortable position of being able to experiment and try things that many bands cannnot afford to do. They do not NEED to sell out massive stadiums or sell millions of new albums to eat. That is a very enviable position indeed!
My comments earlier today were really more of an observation. I think it is incredibly savvy on Rob's part to release these songs at this time of year. If not him, then others around him who will clearly benefit. In any event, if I were in Rob's shoes and had accomplished all the great things he has in his career, I might very well spend time "experimenting", too. I don't know.

"SIGH". Yeah you are 100% correct I'm afraid Freeze.(another big "SIGH"). Rob has once again put his "$" before the rivited earth worm and iron dog fans that crave "PURE" metal.
He did this with Turbo,Nostradamus and now Halford 3. Now all the Halford solo fans are going to have to wait another 5 years till' they get a proper "Halford" solo album...or worse,they
may never get another Halford solo album again,whos to say? How much $money does Rob really need at this point anyways? Anybody? I mean jeezzz the guy has to be living pretty so
does he really need the kind of extra cash that will bring him in from the christmas carol album? You tell me.
But what you are saying Freeze IS 100% correct,Halford is "selling out" again,just as Priest did with half of "Point Of Entry",as they did with Turbo,Halford's "Two" band,Priest's Demolition
and Nostradamus. The problem I have with it is that its been almost 5 looooon years since Halford or Priest released something pure metal...."Angel Of Retribution". 5 long years is too
long for a tradional heavy metal band. It is starting to worry long time fans and the band doesn't have 5 years to waste anymore because they are pushing 60 years old yet they do it anyways?
Why is it so fucking hard for this band to "stay metal" and stay "pure"? Yes they are my favorite band but the consistancy is ridiculous,they have been anything but "consistant" the last 24 years
since they put out the Turbo album. The next album better be a full "heavy metal" album of pure metal.If they don't,I'm afraid this band will be "finished". So we will all see what happens.......
Maybe Judas Priest should take a class with Saxon as the teachers,they could learn from Saxon's "consistancy".Maybe Biff could give some of his "very little money" to Judas Priest and Rob
so that they could go back to writting british heavy metal "like Saxon does"??? Saxon ain't got shit for cash like Priest does,nowhere even near the kind of money and yet they still crank out
normal british heavy metal the traditional way,every album for the last 15 years. This is what Judas Priest and Rob Halford needs to learn how to do.
Well I have listened to it for the fifth time now and I have to say, although it is not at all what I would expect from Rob, it sure is a smart marketing move on his part. I mean, seriously! The man puts out some Christmas songs just before the start of the holiday season??? Brilliant! Not only will his "hard core" fans snap up the album, think of how many people will buy it as a way of trying to get family and friends into his music??!?!?!?!! "Hey mom, check out his new Christmas song!" HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great move on the part of Rob and/or his management. Never forget, he still gets paid! May sound somewhat cynical to some of you but it is true.

Well ok,maybe he did bash him a little bit. But I can understand "why". This Winter Songs idea is rather "strange". I will not buy the album,nor listen to it. I fucking HATE CHRISTMAS!!!! Scrooge ruls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!
Actually J.D he did mention Hellrider he didn't mention Demonizer which i am shocked at lol as it is one of my favourite all time Priest tracks! And Lochness i love that song, i think the only reason people don't like it is because it was their first epic song and the lyrics were cheesy but Hell the music is badass and it is bloody Heavy too. I can't resist banging my hed when the main verse riff comes in it's awesome. Kinda reminds me of the music you would get from the Dynasty warriors games.
Well he did call him a Sellout and Senile. I would say that's insulting considering Halford is not either of those! He's far from a sellout as his amitions and musical directions don't appeal to most lol!

What? You really think that Angel Of Retribution was not that good? WTF? LOL! Oh my god Painkiller is a good album man but it doesn't wipe the floor up with it,no way.
And you only mention Judas Rising and Demonizer? You don't even mention "Hellrider" which has to be in the top 5 best songs from Judas Priest of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Judas Rising
Deal With The Devil
Revolution
Worth Fighting For
Demonizer
Wheels Of Fire
Angel
Hellrider
Eulegy
The only less quality track on here is Lochness but the first 9 tracks are fabulous!!! Revolution sounds like it could of been on Hell Bent For Leather right after the Killing Machine track!!!
Worth Fighting For reminds me of Desert Plains and Take These Chains mixed kind of,excellent track. Angel is total classic Judas Priest as was Dreamer Deceiver off Sad Wings Of Destiny.
Angel Of Retribution is the 5th best Judas Priest album of all time in my opinion,only Sad Wings Of Destiny,British Steel,Screaming For Vengeance,and Painkiller are better than this record!!!!
And I see where Jimmy James is coming from,the usual metal fan wants "metal" especially from the "metal god"....not "christmas songs". I don't think he really bashed Halford as he was just
frustrated with Rob's decision with Winter Songs. It is what it is...I just hope that the nest Priest record doesn't get infected by this!!!! (Quoting Message by Skybreaker from Wednesday, October 07, 2009 8:45:42 PM)

You really think AOR is that good? I think Painkiller wipes the floor with it. Judas Rising and Hellrider are the only standout tracks on AOR in my opinion.

Actually J.D he did mention Hellrider he didn't mention Demonizer which i am shocked at lol as it is one of my favourite all time Priest tracks! And Lochness i love that song, i think the only reason people don't like it is because it was their first epic song and the lyrics were cheesy but Hell the music is badass and it is bloody Heavy too. I can't resist banging my hed when the main verse riff comes in it's awesome. Kinda reminds me of the music you would get from the Dynasty warriors games.
Well he did call him a Sellout and Senile. I would say that's insulting considering Halford is not either of those! He's far from a sellout as his amitions and musical directions don't appeal to most lol! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Thursday, October 08, 2009 4:41:38 AM)

What? You really think that Angel Of Retribution was not that good? WTF? LOL! Oh my god Painkiller is a good album man but it doesn't wipe the floor up with it,no way.
And you only mention Judas Rising and Demonizer? You don't even mention "Hellrider" which has to be in the top 5 best songs from Judas Priest of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Judas Rising
Deal With The Devil
Revolution
Worth Fighting For
Demonizer
Wheels Of Fire
Angel
Hellrider
Eulegy
The only less quality track on here is Lochness but the first 9 tracks are fabulous!!! Revolution sounds like it could of been on Hell Bent For Leather right after the Killing Machine track!!!
Worth Fighting For reminds me of Desert Plains and Take These Chains mixed kind of,excellent track. Angel is total classic Judas Priest as was Dreamer Deceiver off Sad Wings Of Destiny.
Angel Of Retribution is the 5th best Judas Priest album of all time in my opinion,only Sad Wings Of Destiny,British Steel,Screaming For Vengeance,and Painkiller are better than this record!!!!
And I see where Jimmy James is coming from,the usual metal fan wants "metal" especially from the "metal god"....not "christmas songs". I don't think he really bashed Halford as he was just
frustrated with Rob's decision with Winter Songs. It is what it is...I just hope that the nest Priest record doesn't get infected by this!!!! (Quoting Message by Skybreaker from Wednesday, October 07, 2009 8:45:42 PM)

Well i would say you can weigh up the pros's and cons of both albums. Painkiller is damn right heavy from start to finish where as AOR you have a bit of everything and that is what i like most about Priest. HEAVIEST: Demonizer, Hellrider, HEAVY: Judas Rising, Deal with the Devil, Wheels of Fire, Lochness, MODERATELY HEAVY: Worth fighting for, Revolution, SOFT: Angel, Euology. It's a fantastic album and out of all of their albums the production is definately the best, everything is crisp and clean. Painkiller is just a relentless heavy beast which i also love but man AOR is full of diversity and has something for every mood you're in. It's a tough choice if you're going for full on heavy metal then Painkiller if you're going for a top notch all-rounder then AOR. I would say AOR is still relatively fresh so i prefer it at this moment in time because i have played Painkiller to death which i'm sure everyone has once before. It does not get enough credit in my opinion.

jimmyjames, I'm sorry but you sound so cynical here. Halford is not singing hymns for goodness sakes, he's just pushing the boundaries of heavy metal - to be honest I would rather he do that with Halford than with Priest, but what I have heard of the new Halford album actually sounds pretty cool! I am a lover of so called 'traditional' heavy metal, but I am not adverse to someone taking a slight detour to try something new!! As for cheesy and schmaltzy, again what I have heard of the new Halford songs is not either of those things - you'd be better off putting Poison in the same sentence as those words LOL!

Great point i agree with that whole heartidly. He can still sing and i appologise for not making my point clear and that is a great one at that, Halford can still sing and beautifully. His screams are starting to go but man he's nearly 60. Angel brings tears to my eyes. But mind he can still scream like a mo fo when he really wants to i'll never forget the show in Manchester this year oh man his screams were perfect in a lot of the songs and so f*****g loud too! I'm pleased they left out Painkiller from the British Steel set it's about time that was laid to rest but now i want to hear Demonizer!!! I can always dream!

Yes Angelic Storm. I do like Jugulator because of the songwritting even though its nowhere near as good as Painkiller or a killer album with Rob but I still like most of it.
I absolutely hate Demolition though. I only like the first 3 tracks off the album,thats it.I hate the rest.
And I agree with you as well JT....I would love it if they put out another album like A.O.R. as Rob's voice is still good enough,he doesn't have to hit all the high notes to make a killer album. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Angelic Storm from Wednesday, October 07, 2009 9:06:37 AM)

Yeah,your right JT. Rob should be able to do what he wants and Halford band is not Priest. I am just getting impatient for this next Judas Priest album. K.K. may have said they will not be repeating history but with Angel Of Retribution they may as well of repeated history because the album sounds like it even could of been out in 1985 right after 1984's Defenders Of The Faith. So if they are trying to push thier metal into an unfamiliar territory as they did with Nostradamus,then I'm not to sure about how traditional it will sound. I am not a fan of Turbo,Demolition or Nostradamus the 3 Judas Priest albums that are the most experimental.
LOL! A release of these 2 new Halford tracks and I'm already starting to get worried again about the next Priest album!!!!! lol!! I am not a fan of "something different". I am a fan of "the same old thing".
British Steel was "the same old thing". Screaming For Vengeance was "the same old thing".Defenders Of The Faith was "the same old thing". Painkiller and Angel Of Retribution were "the same old thing".
All of Motorhead's albums are "the same old thing". Saxon the last 15 years and 7 studio albums are "the same old thing". And these albums are raved about being some of the very best material ever.
So I guess only time will tell. Judas Priest does best when they stick to thier guns and fire out "the same old thing". So its up to you K.K.!!! LOL!!!

I agree with Skybreaker here...I think its been to long since the band has released a proper heavy metal album. And 2005 is almost 5 years ago now. I really think that the next Judas Priest studio album is going to set a pace as to what they are evolving into. Another "Nostradamus" could spell the demise of this band's career. I don't think they will do that again but whos to really know especially that we are almost 5 years from Angel Of Retribution now,the last album that was traditional british heavy metal with no opera or winter songs influenced.

I agree with you up untill you said :Painkiller was the last great Judas Priest record. I "disagree". I think Angel Of Retribution is almost as good as Painkiller, big time.
I do agree with everything else you have said here. I "hate it" when they try and "push metal into unfamiliar territories". Why can't they just push traditional metal. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Skybreaker from Wednesday, October 07, 2009 2:45:07 PM)

Judas Priest has to be one of the most unpredictable heavy metal bands of all time. Thats good up to a certian point until they go too far with something like Nostradamus and Christmas songs. In my opinon they have released some very disapointing cd's. They are not very consistant and you have to waite forever between cd's. At one time I considered Priest the greatest metal band of all time but I'm not convinced of that any more. Painkiller was the last great Priest CD. Can they do it again with this next cd and regain their status as the best of all time or continue on with this pushing metal forward business and release another disapointing cd.

You say you dont like Turbo, Demolition, or Nostradamus because they're experimental. Does that mean you like Jugulator? [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Wednesday, October 07, 2009 4:10:11 AM)

Yeah,your right JT. Rob should be able to do what he wants and Halford band is not Priest. I am just getting impatient for this next Judas Priest album. K.K. may have said they will not be repeating history but with Angel Of Retribution they may as well of repeated history because the album sounds like it even could of been out in 1985 right after 1984's Defenders Of The Faith. So if they are trying to push thier metal into an unfamiliar territory as they did with Nostradamus,then I'm not to sure about how traditional it will sound. I am not a fan of Turbo,Demolition or Nostradamus the 3 Judas Priest albums that are the most experimental.
LOL! A release of these 2 new Halford tracks and I'm already starting to get worried again about the next Priest album!!!!! lol!! I am not a fan of "something different". I am a fan of "the same old thing".
British Steel was "the same old thing". Screaming For Vengeance was "the same old thing".Defenders Of The Faith was "the same old thing". Painkiller and Angel Of Retribution were "the same old thing".
All of Motorhead's albums are "the same old thing". Saxon the last 15 years and 7 studio albums are "the same old thing". And these albums are raved about being some of the very best material ever.
So I guess only time will tell. Judas Priest does best when they stick to thier guns and fire out "the same old thing". So its up to you K.K.!!! LOL!!!

You are right, i love it when they do the same old thing too. Some of it just clicks with me more than others. I love every album and i can see the good in all albums even Nostradamus although i was disapointed when i first heard it to say the least but hey it has some heavy tracks. Persecution is damn heavy could be on Painkiller easily! Anyways yep back to the roots heavy metal would be awesome. From Ram it Down onwards they got more intense. When people thought they couldn't get any heavier the released Painkiller and when people think they couldn't get any heavier they released Jugulator (despite it being Ripper i love that album). Angel of Retribution went to classic mixed with modern heavy and i loved it. I would welcome a return to AOR Priest style heavy metal. I just hope the boys still feel up to it after all of these years and Rob won't be able to keep his voice forever unfortunately as it has showed signs of detioration and man i feel like killing myself for saying that because Halford is my idol in every sense of the word but it's true. They should take a break and then head into the studio and let Rob have a rest cause after all this touring he's bound to need a one. He just needs to let his vocal chords repair and he will be the screaming Metal God yet again!

Oh come on jimmy. Even I hate this direction but I still will not "give up" untill the next Judas Priest studio album.That is where the line will be drawn in the sand.Yes I "hate" christmas always have,its just to "holy" for me as I hate "holy" things(lmao!) and I will not be groving on christmas carols anytime soon but I still give some credit to Rob's abilities here. I think that we have been to far away from Angel Of Retribution where they were in a mode of traditional pure heavy metal music and Rob was in the mood of "The Scream Of The Demon,Theres Evil About!!!!!!"
If Judas Priest releases an album with these christmas songs influenced in them or with Nostradamus still in the style than I would start to wave the white flag myself.
It's shit. Fucking christmas carols, Halford is going senile. Hope the guys still have Rippers number

!! How could I like a band that gives you quality albums year after year with no experimental crap inbetween? lol!!! What are they thinking???? lol!!!
Maybe it'll all pass when the holiday season is over.
I keep any beliefs to myself though, cos they are just that, mine, and no one elses. I don't care how other people live, I accept everyone, so long as they don't hurt anyone else in the process 
That's just me though. Plus, I just love rocking out and headbanging to heavy fuckin metal LMAO!
