 This 23-song, 104-minute double-CD behemoth is distinctive in the Priest œuvre for, among other things, being the first of their albums that you listen to and don’t think, “Wow, how could I have not figured out before that Rob Halford is gay?!” For all that moments hark back to, say, the more epic tracks on Sad Wings of Destiny and Painkiller, the operatic grandeur and the way the cuts all flow into one another make this album an anomaly of pomp previously unheard in the JP catalogue. If Priest have always been the Stones to Iron Maiden’s Beatles, then this is the band’s Their Satanic Majesties Request (though in scope and lyrical focus it’s closer to Genesis’s The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway): a concept album about the life of Nostradamus that’s as straightforward, in its lyrics, as Maiden’s “Alexander the Great....full text |

If that sounds like a thrilling way to spend an hour and 40 minutes, you'll probably love the music here, which reflects the album's narrative ambition with a bigger, more flowery sound than on Halford's comeback disc, Priest's "Angel of Retribution" from 2005. (Expect acoustic guitars, strings and keyboards along with K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton's usual battery of biker-bar riffs.)...full text |
