I personally think they only made a few good albums.
Opinions on the band?
Anyone?

Love them and their music, pioneers in the burgeoning world of metal back then. All the albums may not be good, but a majority of the songs (and I say that with truth seeing as I have every album they've put out) are very good if you're into classic metal and opened minded.
I can't say they're the most influential band to come out of the NWOBHM (that goes to Maiden.) but they're definitely a strong force that gave way to all those bands that use screams (of the high or low variety).
And Rob is definitely not one to hide his sexuality anymore, right?
And to be honest, when Nostradamus came out, I was kinda 'eh' about the band.
When my mom got to go backstage, she said that even Rob is getting tired of Priest's older stuff.

I honestly like Nostradamus. Not love, not hate but like. It's a decent venture but not the priest I've come to know.
I think there were a few songs I liked and others that were just...meh. But I can't say they didn't try. They liked something and went for it.
As for rob, well...I suppose he would. But I don't think the queen is getting tired of "Hell Bent For Leather". At least I hope not (it's a damn good song...).
