Yeah, no offense but who cares about what someone thought 23 years ago? I agree that the Turbo album really had some stuff that was different for Priest but its still heavy all the same. Rob Halford is just incredible on this album and he is one of the most important singers in metal. Judas Preist are the best because of their BIG varation of songs and Turbo is a perfect example of how diverse the Priest discography is.
Ram It Down? True Speed Metal to my ears! Contains the best guiatr solo battle in the history of metal !!
First off I agree with Jimmy James. Second,you said about Turbo: "This showed Priest's ability to write a good hook, without compromising their sound." But they "did compromise thier sound" Dale,and they compromised it "big time'.
23 years ago when this album was released I even remember back then countless long time fans were totally bummed out because Turbo robbed Priest's volcanic sound and robbed the band of its trademark sound,so I have no clue as to how you think the Turbo album didn't compromise thier sound,its beyond me.If you like the album,thats cool but to say it didn't effect thier original sound and style is ludichrist. The Ram It Down album still wasn't back to Priest's trademark sound but a couple of tracks were headed in the right direction such as the title track Ram It Down and the second track "Heavy Metal".(Quoting Message by Dale T. from Tuesday, December 29, 2009 11:49:55 PM)

but what is their sound? play freewheel burning to someone who knows only painkiller (yes they exist) and they will ID it as "early priest" play that same dude white heat red hot and they have no idea.
the 70's stuff shows a progression, similar style, growing out of a blues based rock style
then bs more straight up hard rock
POE moves towards prog
SFV straight heavy metal
dotf a darker metal

compare to maiden. every album instantly recognizable. the casual fan might not know which album which song goes with but you know its maiden. the only real constant with priest is Rob, and he was gone for 2 albums. glenn and KK change their styles and sound, Ian is consistant, and they have had more drummers than a cd changer in a bar has seen disks.

Its kind of funny but I find myself listening to Turbo more than Nostradamus. I don't know but its just kind of fun to listen to. I know they sold out on it and everything and its cheesy but it is Judas Priest. Nostradamus is just the opposite, too long and drawn out and just gets boaring after a while. If I had to choose one of the two as the only Priest cd I had it would be Turbo. So thats what I think about Turbo.

Shitty record,and "ballsy on thier part"? Yes. Is it "smart" for them to experiment on one album and not put out another record for 3 long years? No. I HATE it when bands "experiment". Fuck the "likers". [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by iamnostradamus88 from Saturday, December 26, 2009 11:51:58 PM)

Yeah!!! What the fuck was that? They only did that to appeal to that 1950's rocker type crowd.

I understand that. I'm sure people on the Rolling Stones site are still discussing songs that are 45+ years old. However with Turbo it's always the same old arguments rehashed. What were they thinking? Parental Guidance is a shocker etc. I'd be happy to discuss Island Of Domination for a change instead of this Turbo sellout shit.

I disagree. This song is from '75 and I argue it still has merit for JP.Com

I think Turbo's 25 years old. Who fucking cares? Why are we talking about something that happened a quarter of a century ago. Lets talk about some more up to date stuff, like the first Gulf War, Frank Sinatras death, the Berlin Wall coming down etc.

I like "terbo". Parental Guidance makes me laugh.
In the Electric Eye DVD, they have the Locked In video appear first before the Turbo Lover one. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Hmmm... Edited at: Friday, December 25, 2009 11:54:26 PM

Out In The Cold is my favourite song on Turbo, which is an album I enjoy if I am in the right mood, you shoudl definitely do that song Freeze!
We were driving around cranking Painkiller today, kicks ass, but yeah, from what I've heard recently, Rob struggles with it. Which when you listen to it, is understandable, hell I wouldn't be able to replicate that LOL! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Thursday, December 24, 2009 11:01:54 PM)
