 Great Effort! Aug 11, 2009
The Deluxe version of the album is great and the band sounds as good as ever.
I was surprised however, missing from the Deluxe Edition is a group photo. It would have been nice to include the band photo in the Deluxe album, as they did in the audio CD none Deluxe version. Still, a very nice concept album from Judas Priest.
An Epic (Fantasy Style) Metal Masterpiece Jul 01, 2009
Judas Priest has really outdone themselves with this two disc epic. I'm reminded of epic tales of old and the haunting melodies of soundtracks like "Labryinth" or even "The Princess Bride." This isn't the metal of "AC/DC" or "Black Sabbath." Instead, this is a much slower paced more thoughtful metal in the vein of "Symphony X" "Dream Theater" and 'David Bowie."
I highly recommend this album.

Masterpiece Jan 01, 2009
My first listen and I can easily see this is a masterpiece, easily Priest's best since Painkiller. Personally I think it far surpasses that album. If you can't appreciate the scope of this album, then chances are you have been lobotomised of have had a serious head injury.

 Judas Priest in a different way Dec 20, 2008
You have to listen for a couple of times to get used to this album. It still sounds like Priest, but it's totaly different then al the previous albums. It takes guts to make an album like this. But as a big Judas Priest fan, I hope the next album will be full of metal again.
An epic Work : Masterful in all Respects Sep 21, 2008
The Latest work by JUDAS PRIEST is superb in terms of the vocals, the music, and the packaging.It is clearly a concept album that in my view has only one similar album that you can compare it with, which was done by a band in a different genre ( YES, the album I have in mind is TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS).The points in common are that you have Unique vocalists, and musicians who are masters at what they play. Anyway, jettison the comparison.
JUDAS PRIEST stand alone in the Hard rock world as being brilliant musicians, and consistently hard workers who have fans that stick to the PRIEST like few band fans do. In my view there are few bands that can deserve that kind of loyalty in hard rock. And JUDAS PRIEST have produced a work that shows they can play extremely, extraordinarily well.There is not a weak track on the album.
The Package I bought was the the "middle" edition, where the Book has the CDs in the front ( disc 1 ) and in the back ( disc 2). The Book is very well done. Just a word of caution, if you have either sweaty hands at the time you look at the book, or someone who wants to look at this book with any kind of gunk on their hands, try and avoid it: this is a collectors book that needs careful handling. If you can afford the Vinyl edition ( as in Vinyl record version) then you should buy that. Whilst I am tremendously happy with the NOSTRADAMUS work, I am also happy with the edition I bought. This is a great year for Rock releases, and I do mean in the classic, best quality sense.
