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!
jd, with turbo for me its not so much about the musicallity of the album , but the memories that album provokes -- priest cranked and dragging cars downtown and then off to a party or just find a quiet stretch of road and pullover and smoke a little and drink a little and listen to turbo and defenders with like minded people ,.its corny, but its '86 and turbo is cranked, big hair everywhere, pulling mainers , good times !!!!!!
