Judas Priest

I listened to it in its entirety yesterday, for the first time in ages. I think it's a terrific body of work, but a very poor "Judas Priest" album, and especially not an album where you pick and run with the goodies only. You have to treat it as a single work and listen to the whole thing and not cherry pick.

Agreed.

I think it's a better album than it's given credit for, like "judas priest do concept album about Nostradamus" could have really gone tits up with shit like "he is THE PREDICTOR!!!" etc. especially hot on the heels of Loch Ness, but there's nothing anywhere near the level of cringe I was expecting. It's really just hampered by all the little 2 minute interludes. The Future of Mankind is a truely great track, almost Maiden like.

Saying that, I haven't listened to it in years, probably since maybe a year or two after it came out.
