Nostra is one of the worst Halford fronted Priest albums. Perhaps only Ram It down sucks more. They have (thankfully) failed to proceed with the horrendous idea of playing it all live, despite claiming after it's release they would. It almost 2 years since Nostra, so it doesn't look like that will happen. Instead they went with an album released 30 years ago. Says it all doesn't it.
I like Angel Of Retribution (apart form Lochness). Priest should stick to what they play best. Bone crunching metal. Leave the poncey rock opera to Andrew Llyod Webber

I take it Hellrider is a poster like the one I described. He got on the bus with Painkiller and thinks that is all the band is about. Shame
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
