 I never even bought it,I bought tickets to see the 2008 show before I heard the album but after hearing it in its entirety,I gave my tickets away to a couple of long time frinds who just knew thier old material,but they enjoyed the show of course but I was to butt hurt over the album to go to the show its just the way I am but I have no doubt that the show was very good.

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.

I am glad to those who enjoy Nostradamus,I envy those people because to them,they got an excellent LP from my favorite band of all time.I'm just hoping that this next LP will be the jewel in my territory of heavy metal.

EXTREMELY well-written. Also sums up why I bought the album twice. Super-duper deluxe that I had signed and the deluxe "working version."

Cheers for the welcome. That post has been a long time coming.

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.

Thanks again for the welcome

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!

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.
