Thanks for the welcome everyone - it is all about opinion isn't it? I mean if we didn't have different ones, there would be no point in having a forum.
Judas Priest has gone through so many musical transformations that I am just not sure which the hardcore era is - Is that SFV and Painkiller? British Steel and Hell Bent for Leather? Stained Class ? I like it all, although I rarely turn to Turbo or Ram It Down, but they are all so different. I love good smokin heavy metal, but that comes in many forms.

first of all i hope i did not offend you with my post but i LOVE PRIEST and HALFORD THE METAL GOD way to much to just keep my mouth shut and dont give a fuc? what comes next from them.second you got me all wrong.i love the majority of all the PRIEST ALBUMS but the MIGHTY PAAAAAAAAAAAINKILLLLLLLLLLLLER does the most for me it also defines heavy metal in my opinion in every way.the majority of nostradamus IS EXACTLY THE THING THAT IS KILLING METAL IN MY OPINION .I AM JUST TRYING TO KEEP THE METAL ALIVE I LOVE IT SO MUCH.IT IS MY FUEL FOR LIFE.

Painkiller is an outstanding album, especially when you consider how weak, relatively speaking, its predecessor was, but even on Painkiller there are a variety of sounds. Freewheelin Burning is as good an opener on a Priest album that you will ever find, but if the whole album sounded like that, Freewheel Burning wouldn't be nearly as explosive as it is and DOF wouldn't be as great as it is.
Thanks for the piece from Nostradamus, Hellrider, as soon as it ended, I wanted to hear the song that came after it - that's the. sign of a great album. Edited at: Thursday, April 08, 2010 7:08:01 PM Edited at: Thursday, April 08, 2010 7:08:53 PM

Welcome to the board by the way OTH - I don't think we have spoken yet. I agree, Priest knows how to write from the heart and does it incredibly well! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by onetreehill from Thursday, April 08, 2010 8:44:32 PM)

Judas Priest and soft rock do not roll off the tongue, but when they do take on moodier pieces I think JP have done very well.

I second that Spa! Hellrider is a great guy and a huge fan of Priest. He, like a lot of other fans, just don't happen to like Nostradamus. He prefers the hardcore side of Priest. I have to admit, I'm really craving a kick ass METAL MONSTER album from the Priest next time around myself! I want to see them pound Iron Maiden and put that battle to rest FOREVER!! But I do love Nostradamus as well. I really think musically, they outdid themselves on that album. But for some it isn't metal enough. It's all a matter of opinion.

I suppose I can see how it polarized the fan base. Nostradamus was a real leap of faith for the band. A faith in each other, their abilities and in the their fan bases ability to go wherever they musically wanted to venture. This will come across as a criticism, and I suppose it is, but I find too often the critics of Nostradamus slag the effort because there are not enough speed metal genre songs on it; in short, it doesn't compare to Painkiller. Painkiller is a great album, but it was one of several musical peaks. SWOD, HBFL, UITE, BS, SFV, DOTF are others. If the fan of Judas Priest looks across those albums and the ones that I haven't mentioned, there are a ton of musical stylings. Most easily fit the metal mold that JP helped to design, but like Black Sabbath you can't pick one or two songs and say this is what they sound like across the years. They grew and explored. If they hadn't, I don't think I would own every album.
Nostradamus is like a survey of the history of Judas Priest, but done with all new songs. The first side is as close to perfection as I can imagine. The music just rolls from song to song and the intros/outros allow for the shifts in sounds. The second album is a little on the uneven side, but Alone and the title track bring it all home in style. There are a couple of things one has to do if they are going to really give this album a chance and that is 1) listen to it from front to back with no breaks and 2) listen to it a few times. You have to do #1 everytime you listen to it. This is not an album you can put the needle down on track 3 and get any satisfaction. I liked it a lot after my first listen, but I grew to love it by listen 5. The thing that surprised me, as someone nearing my half century on Earth, is that a heavy metal album could continue to impress me as long as this one has. It is my album of choice today, if I am choosing one by Judas Priest.

I haven't seen Judas Priest live since October 1988 Ram It Down tour as they never came to Seattle on the Painkiller tour wich really bummed me out.I wish I could of seen the Retribution 2005 tour but I had to work.

onetreehill wrote:
Hi all - first time poster
The first time I saw the Priest was in 1978 in a small 3000 seat auditorium in Vancouver. I only owned Stained Class at the time, but after that show, I knew that this was a band that I would follow for as long as they let me. I only say this to give you some background to my relationship with Judas Priest. From Hell Bent For Leather on, I have owned each album on or around the day it was released. Some albums, SFV, DOTF, P have moved me more than others RID, POE, but I have always enjoyed the work and appreciated the band's desire to diversify and to stretch their artistic abilities.
All of that is a peramble to my belief that Nostradamus is Judas Priest's finest hour (and a bit). It embodies a little bit of every thing Judas Priest has ever recorded and it gave them license to try something that has never been attempted in the history of rock - heavy metal or otherwise. I love that every song captures an element of their past. The interludes are clever and, at times, brilliant in their ability to tie all of the music together. For some it may seem overly long, but I believe it flows beautifully and, at time, captures a mood and spirit that is rarely felt from a Judas Priest album. At the end of it all, I feel that I have learned something about Nostradamus the man and this must have been part of the band's goal, but more importantly the album feels like I am listening to the band at the top of their artistic game.
If the band ever stop by to read these notes, I would just say to them congratulations it is an amazing effort. My only regret is that the album wasn't taken on the road and toured as a concept album like this should be. I can only assume the time for that gargantuan tour has past, but wonder if the band has ever considered playing it live once with orchestras, choirs, backing instrumentalists and recording it for posterity. I think many fans would have loved to have seen this show live. If the Priest never record another album, I will feel like Nostradamus is a great crowning achievement to a legendary, hall of fame worthy, career.

Hi all - first time poster
The first time I saw the Priest was in 1978 in a small 3000 seat auditorium in Vancouver. I only owned Stained Class at the time, but after that show, I knew that this was a band that I would follow for as long as they let me. I only say this to give you some background to my relationship with Judas Priest. From Hell Bent For Leather on, I have owned each album on or around the day it was released. Some albums, SFV, DOTF, P have moved me more than others RID, POE, but I have always enjoyed the work and appreciated the band's desire to diversify and to stretch their artistic abilities.
All of that is a peramble to my belief that Nostradamus is Judas Priest's finest hour (and a bit). It embodies a little bit of every thing Judas Priest has ever recorded and it gave them license to try something that has never been attempted in the history of rock - heavy metal or otherwise. I love that every song captures an element of their past. The interludes are clever and, at times, brilliant in their ability to tie all of the music together.

Hiya onetreehill, welcome to the noticeboard! Fascinating first post, I love reading peoples experiences with Priests music, it's wonderful. I'm glad you love Nostradamus so much, it seems to be such a polarising album for many Priest fans - some love it, some hate it. I think your post captures why some people love it very well. Again, welcome to the boards! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by onetreehill from Monday, April 05, 2010 8:52:01 PM)

fantastic well thought out record that will always be an Underrated piece in heavy music because of its length and challenging approach.
Well, my fellow Priest fanatic's, the 'streak' is officially over! i made sure i kept the cd's in the case for one day, (sunday), but opened it up today and gave it a spin! Thankyou again to all my very cool supporters here, Metal Goddess, and Becks, you both rock, and have been the biggest supporters! but, thanks to all that have been with me through it all, you are very special, YOUR PRIEST FANS!!!!
Keep the Faith!!!
