• Judas Isn't My Priest............................................
  I think these "rockers" are steering youngsters to bad ideas. Judas betrayed Jesus, so why are we supposed to believe he's worthy of being a priest? If I weren't a shut-in, I'd go to church and get on my knees with a real priest who has taken vows of poverty and chastity; Father O'Hanonmine is my role model.

• Nostradamus jams!
  This is the best work from JP since Hell Bent for Leather. Been a Priest fan from the start. This is a must have. This CD rocks start from finish. Pure JP - screaming and mesmerizing Halford with the typical jammimg riffs by Tipton/Downing. A little bit of everything in this. Not a bad song in the 2 disc set. Great change-ups. Rock opera at its best. Off the chart lyrics. These guys just keep on getting better. My favorite CD in years!

  It's a good story,but quite a long listen,sort of a throw back to the classic idea... more info

• Judas Priest meets Trans-Siberian Orchestra
  I'll keep it short:
  The music is well done and very professional (mixed well), however unless you like rock opera-ish show music or the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, this may not be for you. (Lizzy Borden did it better years ago with Master of Diguise).
  It is good for what it is thus the 3 stars, but not what I expected or really would have wanted. I can't fault them for trying new things. The lyrics do leave a lot to be desired, too. This one is actually better when Rob isn't singing, which is... more info
