I am a musician and a music reviewer, and have been doing the both for quite some time. I am starting an ambient project, under the name of Athanati Este, and I will be releasing an album called Chaos Theory, which is exploring experimental ambient.

Nostradamus

Posted by burnoutfool - June 1st, 2009


My review on Judas Priest's Nostradamus:

Let me start this by saying that I am a die hard Judas Priest fan, and I have been listening to them since before I could walk. That being said, nobody could predict this shitbomb, not even the "great" Nostradamus himself. Granted that Rob Halford does still have talent, and forever will in my book, his vocals just don't cut it for this piece of moldy garbage. I expected more from KK Downing and Glenn Tipton, but their guitar solos seem very sporadic, very flat (or sharp) and just plain shitty. Honestly, when you listen to their older work, such as stuff from Hell Bent for Leather or British Steel, you will wonder if it's the same guitarists playing. Again, granted that guitarists often get worse with time, but not this much worse.

Another Good thing about the album (I use "good" lightly), was the interesting album art, depicting Nostradamus in the middle of the universe. This could have multiple meanings, like that he predicted the future from reading the stars, or that he was so well at reading the future that he was "heavenly".

The problem that I have with Judas Priest's new album is the fact that it could have been better. It often sounded like they were trying to make a Heavy Metal Opera (Repo anybody?) and the way the guitars would combine with the bass and the synth was just too much to handle when Halford sang on top of it. They used the echo effect on his voice in EVERY song it seemed like, making it even harder to take.

If you can steal Nostradamus (don't buy this cumstain of an album) then take it outside, proceed to bludgeon it with your cock, shit on it, light it on fire, sacrifice it to Satan, and rid the world of its plague.
