Product Description
Product Description
Two CD 2008 release by Judas Priest. In the realm of Heavy Metal, there has never been a double disc concept album that has managed to balance a thought-provoking storyline with metallic thunder. Long in the works, Nostradamus takes epic storytelling to a whole new level, as it recounts the life of this mysterious, world-known 16th Century French prophet. Most bands of this high stature would be happy to play it safe. But not Judas Priest, who continue to take chances and break new ground. No other rock band could have pulled off such a grand statement, and Judas Priest have raised the bar once more with Nostradamus. 23 tracks.

This CD is amazing. I have not listened to Priest since high school but this CD has made me a fan again. It'd heavey but still has a flow to it. The lyrics may not be Dylan or Waters but they are nothing to be ashamed of. The only thing that would make this CD better is a two hour live DVD of the whole show. But i fear we will not see that. If you have ever liked priest or maybe you just like the sound of twin guitar leads check this one out. I don't think you'll regret it

Every once a while comes along something memorable.
If you love music, whether it be Araya's scream, Nile's wall of sound, Chopin's touch or Beethoven's genius, you'll be left moved in complete adoration with this release. If however, you're still at the stage of only enjoying the speed and anger that metal provides so well, if different genres leave you cold and unimpressed, than wait some other year to get this. It is heavy in intent, in sound, but not with anger. It isn't Screaming for Vengeance; it's actually much deeper and much more ambitious. If anything, it is very classical; but any fan of classical and metal as well will tell you that the two genres have very much in common. Add to that that the entire thing is a minor key, you'll be wholly rewarded for your love of music.

Judas Priest is one of the most talented heavy metal bands. They started almost 40 years ago with a mixture of hard rock and progressive rock, then turned to heavy metal, speed metal, whatever they call it. They are so diverse, it is difficult to define their style. None of their albums look alike, each and every one of them is different. They always try new things, and, besides Turbo, never failed. But with Nostradamus they have outdone themselves. Nostradamus is metal opera, and at the same time, vintage Priest. I don't think Rob Halford has ever been able to show the whole beauty and range of his voice. Deep Purple's Don Airey is probably the best keyboardist one could think of to invite for such an ambitious project. Lost Love and New beginning are the two songs I would remove from the song list, but the rest is so great! A stunning album, a masterpiece from one of the best bands ever!

Powerful and Epic
I was really worried about this album. I started reading some of the early bad reviews and was a little shocked as to how much some people hated Nostradamus. Read more

Epic, if flawed.
First off, in all honesty, this is the first Priest album I really ever "got into". Despite growing up in the 80's, I was late getting into Maiden, and never really got into... Read more

Not exactly a review
I was just getting into the album when I switched to disc two, whereupon I discovered a female singer from what sounded like the 1950's. Read more
