 Rating:  - You don't have to respect it to like it.Before Judas Priest came out with Turbo, they were releasing albums like 'Screaming for Vengence' & 'British Steel'. Which didn't really give much hinting to this synth-heavy future release. Those albums were dark, angry, very unglamourus albums. Then suddenly that changes in 1986 and the band decides to release an album that had a 'commercial' sound to it. Turbo experiments heavily with synthicizers, upbeat guitar riffs and somewhat softer lyrics. This new 'commercial' approach attracted new fans and a somewhat repectable place on the charts (#17 I think) but not what the band was shooting for. It also agitated a lot of veteran fans and left the Metal Gods with damaged credability. Yes it was an experiment, but as a Priest fan I wasn't ...

I know those are solos but not really right? That was the initial reaction to Turbo the first time I heard it. After all this time it is still the same way. The whole argument that had the synth not been there the songs would still be great. Well no they would not. Judas Priest singing about love in a sappy way is just a plea for commercial status and air play because that is so unlike a Priest love song. And partying...never in my life did I think I would hear them sing about partying. The production is worse than even that of their 1970's albums which while ... Read More: Rating:  - Thee Definitive Live Post-70's Priest AlbumI can only speak from a high school kid's view in the 80's when this was released. "Turbo" and "Defenders" were popular and have a place in my adolescence, good or bad, this live album when it was originally released, was something you took the time to buy. Songs such as "Out In The Cold," "Love Bites," and "Heads Are Gonna Roll," were welcome additions to a live set mixed with their Steel and Vengeance material. They were very careful to play the songs exactly as they sound on the albums, and to some that may give it a "flat" sound, and the semi-fake crowd noise and early digital recording adds to that. But Halford sounds great, the songs are played impressively, it has a nice flow, and made for a great party album in the 80's. ... Read More: Rating: - Under-rated Judas Priest Album Sure, I agree with most that when "Turbo" was first released, it was bashed for being to radio friendly, and the addition of synths and electronic drums had fans cry outrage! If I really look back at the time period, Priest hadnt done anything different then most metal and rock bands, by adding in eletronic sounds. Rush, Van Halen, Yes, and Iron Maiden, just to name a few, all incorporated 80's synth sounds into their music, and most of the time, it worked. Fact is, people were crying sell-out, and I listened to pop radio stations all the time, and I never heard any Judas Priest ever played, not even from this album. Others cry its not as Heavy as older material. I also disagree with that Statement. Even though some songs have heavy synth sounds ... Read More: Rating: - Judas Priest goes softer, but still rocksI remember when the "Turbo Lover" video first aired on MTV. I liked the little skeletons and the British girl with the big beautiful bouncy butt as she chased a rolling motorcycle tire. I thought the song was good and I thought Glenn had a cool flamethrower on his guitar. Locked In, Parental Guidance, and Private Property were the other singles off the album, Locked probably being the most well known, and heaviest. The other two were a softer and OBVIOUSLY looking for radio airplay. Out in the Cold is a great tune, I would call it a lost classic. I think my favorite song on the album is 'Rock you all Around the World'. It's just a great tune to drive to and has a great sing a long chorus. It's just a song to unite all Priest ... Read More: |
