I can't speak for everyone on the forum, but ultimately, I like the variety in their discography.  I do like Nostradamus, but I agree that this would be the time, if ever, for them to put out a serious british metal offering.  I would love to see something along the lines of Defenders of the Faith mixed with Angel of Retribution.  And I don't think the other 4 members of Priest would appreciate being lumped in with the Winter Songs thing.  That was a Halford deal, something Rob wanted to cross off his bucket list.  I just think that doing the British Steel revival tour right after releasing a new album, was bad timing.  I think a short Nostradamus tour to promote their new material and a summer British Steel tour would have made more sense, but hey, I'm not in the music industry, what do I know.   I just hope to hear something awesome before they hang up their axes.

		Yeah Hellrider what we are seeing here is our favorite band has been getting soft on us all the way around. 5 long years have passed since Angel of Retribution and all that there is to show for is Nostradamus and Winter Songs. Who knows what kind of mood the band members are in at the time they write the next album? Getting a killer british metal album from these guys is not a "shoe in" at all as we all know,the next LP may turn out like Ram It Down for all we know.But this is what 95% of members on this forum like isn't it?  The all like the fact that they never know what they will get from Judas Priest...could be a Painkiller,could be a Turbo,could be a British Steel,could be a cross between Nostradamus and Winter Songs...thats what almost everybody likes here is the fact that they can't count on one particular style.  "I FUCKING HATE THAT FACT". I am in the 5% that just want METAL.      hellrider 31038 wrote:   i wonder if he plans on recording another straight throu metal album with his band or just another hoilday cd like we heard he was planning on doing a few weeks ago.WE WILL ALL HAVE TO DEMAND  MORE RUSH OF POWER HEAVY MEEETTT   TTTAAALLL FROM THE MIGHTY METAL GOD.yeah lets hope the PRIEST ARE REALLY HUNGRY FOR A VERY ANGRY ALBUM .i know i  am infact i am starving to death and i am sure you are to..lol    (Quoting Message by J.D.

But really,the album is EXACTLY what Rob wanted to do as you already know of course.Along with you,I also wish Rob would of released a traditional heavy metal album all the way through with the Halford band,but he chose to do this for this year. This just goes to show that when the christmas season is over and the new year hits....its a count down to see what the band will do next.And hopefully Rob and Priest are hungry for an angry album of Judas Priest styled hellrider styled HEAVY METALLL!! lol!
