Well,my opinion isn't the right one I just wish it was ha! Well,while everybody my age was partying,whooping it up and enjoying the Turbo album in 1986 I was NOT. I was so damn pissed off at Judas Priest for doing this to the fans,it was black leather,studs & black cloths with killer metal albums to worship and comming off an album titled Defenders Of The Faith I just couldn't belive what was happening.
It was such a low point for myself in the realm of heavy metal. Priest did Turbo,Maiden did Somewhere In Shit and Sabbath was dismembered,Ozzy did the shitty Ultimate Sin album and even underground heavy metal bands like Exciter put out crappy LPs in 1986.
I spit on Priest for 2 years untill I got the Ram It Down album which still didn't make me 100% happy but I was starting to get there,then by 1990 we finally got another real british heavy metal album. The memories I personally have of Turbo and the era in 1986 were all shit,horrible year for heavy metal with only a handfull of exceptions.
Thats why i hate the album so much and even 25 years later in 2011 I still hate it just the same,I wish they would of never done it. Probably K.K.'s idea haha!

Oh come on! LOCKED IN = great tune (not to mention one of the best videos ever made!) LOL!
I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one that feels this way about Turbo! When I listen to it, I feel just like I did back then with very few cares in the world and nothing but good times with great friends! Out in the Cold is the only song that I really love off the album, but I remember shooting hoops for hours with Turbo cranked pissing off the neighbors..... aaahhh, good times!

I really have to defend Jugulator. It met my expectations of a good album more down to earth and I've had a great time listening to it. Nostradamus causes me to have split emotions, as there are little gems in there but that somehow they've decided not to follow through.
I agree man, Turbo is better than Nostradamus which is the worst Priest cd of all time. Ripper cd's are better than Nostradamus.

What kills me is how much people dislike "Ram It Down".
Let the hatemail roll but I think it's as good as "Painkiller".
I only put 5 songs from "Painkiller" on my classic. I have 9
from "Ram It Down".
[guidogodoy] Friday, July 15, 2011 2:02:23 PM
Amen! Very well said! It does, indeed, capture the era when it was released quite well. Only think I'd add is that it has some tunes that I genuinely love!

My list changes every now and then, but here's the current one, with ratings to show what exactly is the difference between the albums to me:
1. Screaming for Vengeance (10/10)
2. Defenders of the Faith (10/10)
3. Stained Class (9½/10)
4. British Steel (9/10)
5. Sad Wings of Destiny (9/10)
6. Killing Machine (8½/10)
7. Ram It Down (8/10)
8. Turbo (8/10)
9. Sin After Sin (8/10)
10. Painkiller (7½/10)
11. Angel of Retribution (7½/10)
12. Nostradamus (7/10)
13. Point of Entry (6½/10)
14. Rocka Rolla (6/10)
15. Jugulator (4/10)
16. Demolition (2/10)
You might wonder why I positioned Painkiller, a record almost every freaking Priest fan seems to love, behind two of the more hated albums, Turbo and RID. Well, here's an explanation. When I first started to listen to heavy metal more seriously, i.e. started looking for Judas Priest, Saxon, Accept etc. , I liked the faster-tempo songs, so obviously Painkiller and the more recent Saxon albums. But over the years I've more and more liked the more melodic, classic metal songs, and nowadays Painkiller gets fewer spins in my CD player than many other Priest albums. Oh yeas, I can find some melody in Turbo and Ram It Down, even if most hate them. I 'm not saying that I dislike Painkiller; I like all the albums with Rob, but there's just huge differences on how much I listen to them, and often the older albums find their way in my CD player or turntable, rather than Painkiller, AoR or Nostradamus, not even counting the Ripper-era albums.
Hey, everyone's entitled to an opinion. If someone says that Demolition is the best thing ever, I won't start arguing. It's just another opinion.
