I find that NOSTRADAMUS gets better everytime I listen to it. I admit, I was disappointed when I first bought it. However, I listen to it more and more. I describe such as SAD WINGS OF DESTINY thirty years later, and we all know how awesome and psychedellic that album was (and is). Hats off to the Priest, for delivering quality metal that one can listen to over and over again.

I'm still quite a new Priest fan, because Nostradamus got me into Priest. Disc 2 is better in my own opinion, because it is a lot more serious with good epic songs like Alone, and Future of Mankind, my favourite song by Priest, Nostradamus was the first album I ever bought, and to this day remains my best purchase for cd's, Nostradamus IS the best Priest album to me, and it will never change, unless the new album follows on the same sort of thing but makes it even better (and makes it longer, for some reason Nostradamus feels too short)
[ar9lsi] Friday, March 25, 2011 2:29:10 AM
Nostradamus is one of the best Judas albums, but I have "weird" taste in Judas.. I also prefer albums like Angel of retribution (which is a pre Nostradamus in some ways), Defender of the faith and Screaming for vengeance. I of course like BS! Nostradamus CD 2 is the better I believe. I am in honesty, a sucker for concept albums; Rush 2112, Queensryche Operation mindcrime etc.
Please Judas, put in a Stockholm date on your Epitaph-tour!

Nostradamus had a strange effect on me.
When I first heard the title track on myspace before its release I felt a rush I'd never experienced from any Priest song and that's the truth I thought it was so powerful and this made me want the album more than anything. Then I heard Visions and I liked that immediately too but still thought Nostradamus was the better track.
Then I went to Download and saw them there where they played Prophecy and Death. I thought Prophecy was a brilliant opener, so heavy with an excellent drum groove and despite naysayers, the lyrics work really well. Death I did like it although I thought it was a bit long but loved the bit in the middle where it turns heavy and I really liked the darkness of the chorus.
Then I returned to see Nostradamus on my doorstep. I stuck it in and let it play from start to finish. At first I was disappointed mainly because I was expecting every song to be as heavy as the title and opening tracks and some of the songs I didn't connect with.
But I listened and listened and the songs started to grow on me little by little and it became my most listened to Priest album and I don't know why. It was strange I would put it in knowing it wasn't my favourite album but I did it anyway and now I absolutely love it. I think if Scott had had that space to be more creative, this album could have been way better as the drums in many songs were pretty straight forward and not very exciting although his use of space is outstanding especially in the track, 'Alone'.
It's a weird balance of good and bad I think and this is me being honest with this album. I think pros go to: Halford's voice, Glenn and KK's soloing and the use of effects and synth to create something unique. Unfortunately I think the drumming lets it down though that is no fault of Scott, he just didn't have a lot to work with.
Some of the riffs I think are magnificent and the best go to, Prophecy, Nostramdamus, Death (middle section and chorus), Persecution and Future of Mankind. But some are just more straight forward progressions.
I think overall it is a good album with some great tracks and average tracks maybe more of the latter. But I still pop it in and skip to the ones I think are true Priest classics.

Even though, the 'so called streak' people have referred to it as has been over for 14 months, i still spin it at least once a week! I had the opportunity to speak to Rob via telephone a few months ago on a radio show, and he was glad to hear i still listen, and that my metal loving' dog still listens! I love this record and it will never be permanently filed away! Cheers everyone!

As a Priest fan since '78 I state IMNSHO that Nostradamus is the most fully realized album Priest have ever done.
I'm not calling it the best or my favorite but, it's great and It's everything It should be . A masterpiece.

Thank you Zombi. Of course you're welcome in Terni, Italy. We have not a famous university but we are famous for producing 'STEEL'. Italian Steel, not British, but always steel, and of course I'm working with it, selling it world wide. It's strange but we are all 'Steelers'.

Great Album.
Just to demonstrate that they can be very heavy, very epic, very symphonic, very pop, thay can do everything and whatever they do it's the best.
That's right?

I tried to listen with an open mind. I just can't get into it. Too mellow, too symphonic.
I'm glad for Priest that people are into it but it's just not for me. Rob's singing style leaves a little
to be desired. Not enough highs, kind of boring.
Does anyone know how this album compares to average sales of other Priest lp's.(just curious)
Long live the Priest and all their fans!!!

shhhhhhhhhh COMMANDER you might give PRIEST a idea to perform nostradamus tour.no offence of coarse.it would be like trans siberian orchastra people saying they used to be a metal band but they sold out.puts us PRIEST METAL MANIACS DEFENDERS IN A VERY AWKWARD AND DEPRESSING SITUATION.it would also scar the NAME JUDAS PRIEST
I thought Prophecy,War, Nostradamus and Future Of Mankind were the 4 standouts and I also liked a couple of short/intro tracks like "Awakening" but I hate the song it goes into "Revelations". I also liked Calm Before The Storm intro to Nostradamus.
The rest doesn't settle with me. Nostradamus is a well put together epic album theres no question about that. I'm just jealous of those who can get into it's world because even though I say I would prefer the band to change it's name for the Nostra album,it's still created by JUDAS PRIEST my favorite band of all time so its an awkward situation(sigh) I just wish the album was something that was more up my ally I guess.

Sorry that you don't like Nostra. I do. Part because it is Priest? Certainly could be. I am intrigued by it complexity, sophistication and what marks the musical culmination of a band I have adored all my life.

Oh, I agree that those that like Nostra are in NO WAY trying to convince those that do. See? There is a difference beween us and fanboy fake Brian: when we think something sucks, we say it. It isn't blindly following the blind. Were that true, someone would have convinced me that Lochness was a decent sond LOOOONG ago. I'll even admit to the cheesy topic of Nostra. However, I am into classical music as well as some of you. The phrasings ARE classical in nature. I have heard many an interview where the guys wanted to do this sort of album and I am happy that they have come to a point in their career where it has come to fruition. Just one man's opinion, nothing more.
Say. J.D. (as I know YOU'LL answer as opposed to fanboy Brian), what are your four songs or so off Nostra? I think you might have posted them before but I forget. Please remind me. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Sunday, July 11, 2010 12:20:28 PM)

Jugulator and Ram It Down are very weak-like and went into left field but at least they didn't go out of the ballpark.
I don't think Ram It Down is a great Priest album,but with 10 songs on it I can handle 5 of them(Ram It Down, Heavy Metal, Come And Get It, Hard As Iron, Blood Red Skies)with the other 5 songs blah,but at least its half the album ....with Nostradamus there are 22 or so tracks and I can only handle 4 of them.
But thats irrelevant,the main point here is that the only thing we can agree on is that the Nostradamus album is the most different "away from Judas Priest" sounding album they have ever done.I just think it was too different sounding to be called a "Judas Priest" album.
Its like the band Emperor with the albums Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk and Equilibrium,they are not "Emperor's signature sound" and too strange to be called an Emperor albums yet to me they are both excellent albums. I would agree that those 2 albums shouldn't of been called "Emperor" and should of changed the band's name but I still like those records.
This is the same senario with Nostradamus,if I did like the Nostradamus album I would still not consider it "Judas Priest".

I like metal that pumps you up so much that you want to punch something while listening to it.
Nostradamus does that for me, but the problem is that it's Rob and the guys I want to punch
for unleashing that upon us. To those who love it, great for you. I'm glad some get enjoyment
out of it. For me it's much to weak. Admittedly I'll listen to music other than metal but when it
comes to Priest I want the music to be heavy. This opinion is solely mine. (Not to be imposed
upon anyone else.)
Long live the Priest and their fans!!!
[Head banger] Sunday, July 11, 2010 12:30:31 PM
I would agree with that. I would even argue turbo is closer to the clasic priest sound, particularily if you adjust that sound for the music of the time as Priest tends to do. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Sunday, July 11, 2010 12:20:28 PM)

On a similar note, I HATED Van Hagar. Ripper Era to boot. "Get up" off of Van Hagar was my one song and NOTHING out of Ripper ever thrilled me. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Red Rocker and gave Ripper a real shot, Neither were the Metal God. Plain and simple.
I listen to interview after interview and all the band how they wanted to do this sort of album. One mixing flamenco guitar with traditional metal riffs. They did it. Even more they did it in a greater way than the pussy Maiden egotistical style. You know me, you know I am NOT a Maiden-basher. Where Priest did it right, Maiden just plain blew it.
'Nuff said.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Nostra shows whats it takes to make an epic HM album. It is NOT that Maiden crap, 10 minute songs do not make for a good record. Ran 8 miles to Nosrta last night. Loved every second of it.
Just one man's opinion but I stated it before. Heaven forbid that this be their last album but I would be a happy camper were it so. It is nothing short of maasterpiece. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Saturday, July 10, 2010 1:10:54 PM)

I have just heard the album for the first time, all the way through, and i have to say it is AWESOME! I know its a bit of a departure from some of their more traditional stuff, but i love it - they go through so many musical styles, and Rob Halford's vocal range is as amazing as ever. I think I will be listening to it a lot more.

[metalmaz] Saturday, July 03, 2010 12:19:05 PM
Hey Budred. Priest are one of my favourite ever groups, but I have to agree that Nostradamus, with the exception of about 3 songs is utter shit. It's the worst Halford fronted Priest album. I think they realise it sucks as well On the Nostradamus tour they only did 4 songs - or was it 3?
Lets hope Priest see sense (I'm pretty sure they have) and go back to what they do best with their next album - arse kicking, rib crunching heavy metal.
However, this album could be a wonderful way to beat the Taliban ragheads. Blast it over the desert at full volume. They will die of boredom! Then we can bring our troops home [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Budred from Thursday, July 01, 2010 4:29:18 AM)

Actually I agree with Hellrider there. Sure Snotradamus has a few heavy songs like Prophecy, Nostradamus, Future Of Mankind etc. but a large portion of the album is shite like that. It literally is. Take that song, chuck an electric guitar solo on it and get Halford to sing it instead of that guy and it would fit on Snotradamus perfectly.

Nostradamus will not be played live Jackylone,I know your passion for the album but it simply will not be done and is not going to ever happen.The band aborted the Nostra tour right in the middle of it only to pump the British Steel tour and that shows that they feel that they went too far with the Nostradamus album,they got carried away in the studio and simply went too far down the road with it leaving "heavy metal fans" too far behind.
I really don't consider Nostradamus a "heavy metal" album. I believe it is a progressive rock opera album with a touch of heavy metal...like 2% of heavy metal with 98% of rock opera. I just couldn't file the album under "heavy metal".Like hellrider has said,its soft rock. But as I asked hellrider,will there even be another studio album from Judas Priest again? Maybe Nostradamus was the last studio album from Judas Priest? [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by jackylone from Monday, May 10, 2010 9:51:07 PM)

But did they? No!! They are keeping the faith by recognizing that creating Heavy Metal is what propelled them to fame in the first place. Besides, they still have many more years ahead of them and they'll create a Heavy Metal masterpiece that will surely RIP OUR FACES OFF!!!!!

Remember the saying. You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy?
Same rule applies here. You can take the metal out of the arena but you can't take the metal out of the clientel! lol [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Friday, May 07, 2010 6:53:03 PM)

Of course AMOLAD tour was a snorefest, the albums a shocker, really bad. I never saw them on the tour but if I was in the crowd and they spent 75 minutes of two hour show playing that I'd be pretty pissed off. I cant believe with their back catalogue of good songs they would even think of playing that in it's entirety. It's delusional.
If and when Maiden do their 30th anniversary Number Of The Beast Tour I will bag that as well if they milk it for as long as Priest have milked British Steel. And I'm sure they will by the way. Especially if Final Frontier is as crap as it looks like it's going to be.

Sure, I'd love something new but the BS tour was a KILLER! I bought three sets of tix and drove hundreds of miles to see them. I would have done the same to catch Nostra just once.

Of course AMOLAD tour was a snorefest, the albums a shocker, really bad. I never saw them on the tour but if I was in the crowd and they spent 75 minutes of two hour show playing that I'd be pretty pissed off. I cant believe with their back catalogue of good songs they would even think of playing that in it's entirety. It's delusional.
If and when Maiden do their 30th anniversary Number Of The Beast Tour I will bag that as well if they milk it for as long as Priest have milked British Steel. And I'm sure they will by the way. Especially if Final Frontier is as crap as it looks like it's going to be.

Oh, I completely disagree.

What do they do? Follow up with a nostalgia tour with Somewhere in Time. Try to call back their fan-base. IMO, a way to excuse themselves from a sad album and sad tour.
Priest with BS just knocked them off the shelf even if Halford doesn't know how to fly a plane.

C'mon Vail, eveyone knows the reason they didn't tour Snotradamus is because if they had hardly anyone would have gone to see it. As far as BS goes, theyre flogging that for all it's worth because they haven't come up with any decent new material. Keeping metal alive is not the motive, they're trying to squeeze every last cent out of it before they have to put Halford in a wheelchair.

Yeah that the thing about it, it would almost be like putting on an opera or something with all the theatrics and props that would go along with telling the story. Funny that they'd release an album that would be so logistically difficult to tour. Also the longer they leave it the less likely it is to happen.

The British Steel Aniversary Tour was fantastic and I'm glad I didn't miss it. Perhaps if a certain Aussie had been privy to the show he'd be less bitter. lol [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Friday, May 07, 2010 5:14:28 PM)

IMO, they achieved it. It was a killer.

What are you disagreeing with, that they're flogging British Steel because there's nothing new to promote or a Nostradamus tour would have been a failure?
Of course AMOLAD tour was a snorefest, the albums a shocker, really bad. I never saw them on the tour but if I was in the crowd and they spent 75 minutes of two hour show playing that I'd be pretty pissed off. I cant believe with their back catalogue of good songs they would even think of playing that in it's entirety. It's delusional.
If and when Maiden do their 30th anniversary Number Of The Beast Tour I will bag that as well if they milk it for as long as Priest have milked British Steel. And I'm sure they will by the way. Especially if Final Frontier is as crap as it looks like it's going to be.

Oh, I completely disagree. Granted, Nostra would have had a limited audience and I don't think they could have pulled off a full tour but a few choice locations and I (and many) would have taken a plane to get there. What do you have to say about that snorefest that was the penultimate Maiden tour? It SUCKED!! Bruce himself even commented in many an interview how off-put he was at the poor reception of AMOLAD. What do they do? Follow up with a nostalgia tour with Somewhere in Time. Try to call back their fan-base. IMO, a way to excuse themselves from a sad album and sad tour.
Priest with BS just knocked them off the shelf even if Halford doesn't know how to fly a plane.

C'mon Vail, eveyone knows the reason they didn't tour Snotradamus is because if they had hardly anyone would have gone to see it. As far as BS goes, theyre flogging that for all it's worth because they haven't come up with any decent new material. Keeping metal alive is not the motive, they're trying to squeeze every last cent out of it before they have to put Halford in a wheelchair.

Yeah I agree there, it wouldn't be lucrative as a tour. Maybe one or two shows at Royal Albert Hall or something, but yeah, as a tour, nope. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Friday, May 07, 2010 2:38:34 PM)

I mostly agree Freeze, although I do think the love of a 30 year old masterpiece does come in to it for Priest, but yeah, music is what they do for a living, of course they'll want to make some money.
Speaking of BS, the BS live tracks from the anniversary release are being released on Rock Band next week. Craig knows he will have to buy these, LOL! Priest is featured on Rock Band quite a bit, the entire SFV album was one of the first whole albums on the game, then Painkiller came along with Rock Band 2, then 3 tracks from Touch of Evil Live. Now British Steel. Cool stuff I say

Maiden and Priest are not the only bands ever to realize that they made a mistake and attempted to correct it by simply falling back on what works. Sound financial move, if you ask me! Priest are smart enough to know that they are not going to make a lot of money with a Nostra tour. If they can yank Stained Class or Sad Wings out of the closet and sell tickets, they will likely do that too! BUSINESS, baby! Thay aint playin fer free!!!! Whether its a band decision or a management decision is really irrelevant.
The whole "30th Anniversary" thing was a marketing bonanza! GREAT idea. Great album. Great show. Now they are selling DVDs and "box sets" and whatnot and making money on THAT, too! Not hard to figure out, is it? I really think they did the right thing, given the choice between that and a Nostra tour. When they start touring and playing for FREE, let me know (That's probably when we will see a huge Nostra tour!). Until then, they are WORKING and they are doing it to pay their bills and fill the bank accounts, not for the "love" of a "masterpiece".
