I just cannot understand all the hatred for this album. I think it is just amazing. I've been a fan since 1980 and I will be the first to admit that I've been dissapointed by them in the past. I despised (and still hate) the Turbo album, most of Ram It Down, and much of (the completely overrated, IMO Painkiller). That being said, I think that AOR and now Nostradamus have put Priest right back on top of the metal heap.
