I think Priest' have earned the right to d*mn well do whatever they want-concept album or whatever.I would have prefered a traditional album in the vein of "Angel Of Retribution" over this,but there you go.Its decent but doesn't live up to the hype by a long shot.I didn't really like the last" Primal Fear" disc that well,but its better than "Nostradamus" in my book.Ive spinned it about 6x's.
