Metal Legends Judas Priest release their sprawling 2-disc concept album Nostradamus. Nostradamus takes epic storytelling to a whole new level, as it recounts the life of this mysterious, world-known 16th century French prophet.
Reviews:
For all the hoopla about Rob Halford returning to Priest in 2003, the resulting Angel of Retribution was a predictably uninspiring affair. Although the band has absolutely nothing to prove at this point, perhaps they've been a bit miffed by all the latter-day Maiden worship. Hence, this double disc, no-holds-barred concept album about the French prophet, which includes' keyboards and string samples? We laud the ambition, at the very least.
