Everybody (including our very own Eyesore) seems to hate Keith Bergman's reviews. I think he's hilarious. I might not always agree with him (time will tell if I agree with him on the new Priest, as I haven't heard it yet) but his reviews are always a hell of a funny read.

I never go to Blabbermouth for reviews (because I didn't even know they did any), just for news. I go to AllMusic.com first and then usually just google and click links for reviews. So where are the reviews at on Blabbermouth? Mixed in with the news? I clicked on "Releases" but it just took me to Roadrunner bands.

in the top right it says cd reviews or along the left side you will see cd covers. I usually go to amazon for reviews as i like peoples input that likes those certain bands...

Thanks, I just looked and saw it as you were posting. For some reason, I must've been blocking out that side of the site for all this time.

When listening to this CD I couldn't help but think, "Saucy Jack, you're a naughty one, Saucy Jack, you're a haughty one, Saucy Jack."

It's been there all along. I can't remember the last time blabbermouth gave an album a good review! I put way more stock in Ult's reviews on NLTM!

My review will not echo that review, that's for sure.

i agree 100% ULT's reviews are how i like the reviews. He doesnt bash bands and he gets right to the point. I have seen some good reviews on Blabber and i have also seen some horrible bands get excellent reviews but to each there own i guess...

I have listened to about 4 times now and I have to say it is a good cd - but not great. I think if you take it for what it is intended to be the cd works. If you were looking for the galloping anthemic priest this is not that. I still think all the musical connectors between songs are a bit much but as a whole I like the album after it is finished.

I'm still skeptical. Downloading now and will purchase it if it's worth a smurf poo. I seriously have my doubts though. Concept albums are so tough to get right....

i hope you'll post a review in your next update. it will be interesting to read your views on it, since you are pretty good with turning your thoughts into words.

Listening to "War" right now. Pretty sure I won't be picking this up.

Priest shouldn't do concept albums.....

Picking my copy up tomorrow.

I like this one quite a bit. There is maybe a few too many interludes and couple songs that I didn't like ("War" and "Pestilence And Plague"), but otherwise it's a good album.

I just completed listening to "Nostradamus" all the way through for the first time. Initially I was afraid I wouldn't like it because I had read so many negative reviews, but I must say, I like it. I can honestly say, I'm NOT disappointed (and I really thought I might be). "Nostradamus" turned out to be what I was expecting. As a whole, from beginning to end, it works.

I'd give it (after only one listen, mind you) a 3.5 out of 5.

Just picked it up Friday.

After many listens, I am truly convinced that Death is the best track on here (not a knock on the rest of the album mind you).

Turbo and Ram It Down was bad? Are you serious? I think their worst was Point Of Entry.

I like Turbo and Ram It Down and agree that Point of Entry is lame.

I love PoE, that was the tour I first saw them on, great lp!

That was the only album I couldnt get into. Its only got like 3 good songs. Heading out to the highway, Desert Plains and Turning Circles.

What, no Solar Angels? They opened w/that track on the tour, don't remember much else from that show!

I took a little nappy a while ago, dreamt that I went to Walmart to pick up the new Priest lp, they were sold out but made me one there! I shall go there now to see how prophetic this dream, and lp, really is!

That's a cool dream. Do the ones at Wal Mart give you a ticket?

Well Walmart didn't have any, they didn't make me one either! Picked one up at Best Buy, no free ticket per say, just that coupon for a chance at one.

I bought it and listened to it. I was afraid it would get boring after 3 or 4 songs. But it was pretty good all the way through.

Mine did, but like Candlemass said, it is just a code for a chance to get a ticket. It actually states that a ticket to a particular show is not guaranteed.

the song prophecy is amazing and my band want to cover it. we were blown away by priest at castle donington last week and my mate bought the new album and he reckons it is ok

i know it is too long for me to digest properly so i will save my money. sorry Priest

I just picked up mine today. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet though...

Listening to this one again this morning. Still can't get the, "...you're a naughty one, Saucy Jack, you're a haughty one, Saucy Jack." thoughts out of my head.

I don't have it yet but I'll get it soon. There's so many mixed opinions about it I'm really not sure what to expect.
