Mostradamus was great.
I seriously bet people who slam that album haven't even bothered listening to it straight through.
Angel of Retribution is solid as well.
Their biggest problem with that one was releasing the weakest track off the album as the lead off single, which may have turned off some.
This is sad news indeed.
Priest are still amazing live, IMHO.
As someone who listened to it straight through multiple times, allow me to say that I thought Nostradamus sucked hard. The title track was deceptively awesome, the remainder was a cheesy on-the-level-of-spinal-tap-but-actually-serious pseudo rock opera with no substance or balls. Also it sounded like it was programmed and recorded on one of the band members' laptops. For an oldschool band, it sure sounded cheap and fake productionwise.
