Nostradamus = Spinal Tap's best album

[Initech]

Since the movie This Is Spinal Tap came out, heavy metal bands come and go, but the one that is increasingly becoming a real-life Spinal Tap is that of Judas Priest. Not even Iron Maiden, with its four guitar players, comes even close to matching the Tap-ness of Priest. Listening to their latest effort, the double-disc Nostradamus, I could totally picture in my head David St. Hubbins, Derek Smalls, and Nigel Tufnel recording this album. Hell, that was pretty much all I could think about listening to this release.

It has everything that Spinal Tap mocks in the movie - pretentious wankery, show-off guitar solos, and medieval themes (think an entire album centering around the Stonehenge song). But seriously if you're a Tap fan or a Priest fan you should definitely pick this album up.
