Really enjoyed that episode. As far as Nostradamus is concerned, when I first heard they were doing it I thought it was a joke, it reminded me of Spinal Tap's Stonehenge. Sadly, it wasn't. I think I've listened to it maybe twice. Glenn Tipton's solo in Loch Ness is fantastic, that drawn out note. Wonderful. Oh, and the image of a Broadway version of the chorus is going to stay with me now...

What an amazing analysis of Nostradamus as Rob's story. I never thought of it like that, but it makes so much sense. Now I will be listening from a different point of view. 1. Invincible Shield 2A. Angel of Retribution 2B. Nostradamus 3. Firepower 4. Redeemer of Souls

It's so much fun interpreting art from different perspectives. Great ranking!

1. Invincible Shield 2. Nostradamus 3. Angel Of Retribution 4. Redeemer Of Souls 5. Firepower

Brilliant episode! John and Jeff really brought the rock. I don't know about that Jay dude though. A fun variety in lists!

1. Angel of Retribution 2. Firepower 3. Invincible Shield 4. Redeemer of Souls 5. Nostradamus (The first Nostradamus album is really good, the second is much weaker.)

Great list!

Cool episode. Love the difference in all your choices. For me…… 1. Angel of Retribution 2. Invincible Shield 3. Firepower 4. Redeemer of Souls 5. Nostradamus

Subject to change, but: 1. Firepower. Production quality is much better than Redeemer Of Souls and I like most of the songs. Favorite song is "Lightning Strike." 2. Redeemer Of Souls. Despite not liking the production quality as much as with the others (minus Nostradamus), I most of the songs resonate with me more than with most of the other albums. Also, one of my heart rats had chosen the title track as his favorite song of all time. (And kinda opposite of Jeff, he heard Turbo first and loved it then heard Painkiller and looked at me like I was insane when I said it was Judas Priest.) My favorite song is either "Halls Of Valhalla" or the title track. 3. Angel Of Retribution. Haven't heard it enough to tell if it's above or below any of the other albums aside from Nostradamus. Favorite song might be "Hellrider." 4. Invincible Shield. Like AOR, I haven't heard it enough to discern if it's better than the other 3, but it's above Nostradamus. Favorite track is "Crown Of Horns." 5. Nostradamus. "Revelations" is one of my all-time favorite tracks, but most of the album isn't for me. It has some symphonic metal aspects, but falls flat in that regard (symphonic metal is one of my favorite sub genres).

Great list and opinions of the records. Every list on the comments has been different which makes this alot of fun.

Invincible Shield was only the second album I'd heard from the modern era. The last couple of weeks I've been playing catch up on old and new. I got Firepower first then Redeemer Of Souls. Nostradamus only occasionally pops up so I will have to wait to get that. I was impressed by Firepower but need that and Redeemer to sink in. Invincible Shield is great but Angel is a good follow up to Painkiller in respect of ROR. Loch Ness is in my DNA anyway as I had family living there and was up there around the time of Stained Class.

Have fun while you continue exploring this era of Priest! Always fun!

Cool show, dudes! I’ve fallen hopelessly in love with Invincible Shield, so that would be my number one. If it’s Priest’s final studio album, l feel that they’ve gone out on a high note… much like George Costanza! 😉 If they put out another studio record, then it’s just more cool music to check out. I came into JP with Screaming for Vengeance in 1982, so l don’t mind their eighties output at all. Of course, some albums are better than others, but that’s how life works. A song like “Out in the Cold” raises up the much maligned Turbo to me. It’s hands down the best track on that release, to me anyway. Much like Queen - and JG’s buddy Martin Popoff has stated - Priest’s 70s stuff is nearly flawless. So, that’s the yardstick that we always measure the rest of their oeuvre against. Keep up the fine work, Alchemist! Cheers from The Big Apple. 🍎 Rock Out, Prog On and Pogo! Your clone and mine, ~ The Divine & Diabolical 😈 Doppelgänger of Davey Cretin, from CRETIN CLASSICS.

Great Priest story. 80's Priest is great and 70s Priest is legendary.

Redeemer love! I dig it!

Exile is great , the rest I don't care for.

1. Firepower 2. Angel of Retribution 3.Redeemer of Souls 4.Nostradmus/ Invincible Shield - coin flip for 4th or 5th

5 Nostradamus 4 Firepower 3 Redeemer of Souls 2 Invincible Shield 1 Angel of Retribution This era is ok, prefer 70s and early 80s up to Defenders. Judas Rising is an unbelievable song and the best from the era, i do love Invincible shield, but Nostradamus is the worst album of the whole catalogue
