Yeah Head Banger your right here,as usual my friend. I'm not saying that nobody should not like "Turbo",but to me it is a sore subject! lol!
I was 16 years old at that time turbo was released(1986) and coming off an album titled 'Defenders Of The Faith" I was phyched out for the new album....
...and then came "Turbo"!!!!!!! (lol!) Dude,...all of you would laugh your asses off if you could of seen the shitty expression on my sad face when I got home and put it on the turn table(of course there were no CDs back then)!!!!!
I almost freaking "cried" head banger...I think there were tears building up in my eyes...I was bummed out for months!! Actually...I think I was bummed out untill the release date of 1988's Ram It Down!! That album may not be Priest's best but the title track,the song Heavy Metal..Come And Get It...Hard As Iron,Blood Red Skies...it was leaps and bounds better than Turbo!! lol! Man I just could'nt understand "WHY" they did a 180 turn from Defenders and chose to do Turbo...that was anything but defending the heavy metal faith. lol! But to each his own,thats for sure.

there are those who truly love everything the band does. great fans
there are those who like a lot of what the band does, great fans
there are those who talk as though the band can do no wrong. not sure what they are. fanboys, starstruck, deaf???
a fan has the right to like of not like the album as they chose. I wont buy the album if they read their grocery list. I dont like nost, I like turbo though. we are all different, and will all voice our opinions. those who say that we cant say negative things, are wrong.

Yeah hellrider,I'm with ya!!! If I did'nt bash the band alittle than I'm nothing more than a "fan-boy" who says everything Priest does is 100% awsome regarless of what it is.
There are fans that would even like a Priest album even if it sounded like Green Day...I am not one of those fans..I want the best out of Judas Priest and the best is what they do "best'....
hard screaming heavy metal is the word here hellrider,you got it down my friend!!!

I seriously hope that Judas Priest return to thier heavy metal "roots" on the next album.....if there is going to be a "next album"? If they do decide to record again,I hope it is in the vien of Angel Of Retribution.Nostradamus was to experimental,and way to long,very un-Priest-like.Say what you will,say you like the Nostradamus album,say that its the best...blah blah blah blah....it is not Judas Priest,and its not Judas Priest at thier best.
Over an hour and a half of soft,ballad-like tracks was not my idea of fun when I listened to this LP.
Sad,bummed out and confused is more what I felt. Everybody has an opinion and mine is not "valid" to say that mine is right,but what I can say is that the Nostradamus album was not "Judas Priest's style". For the life of me I can't understand why this band feels the need to "do something different"? If they do not like thier original style/sound anymore,than maybe the band should think about hanging up the leathers and playing golf from here on out,that would be fine by me.I would rather see them retire than keep putting out albums like the experimental Demolition and Nostradamus.
