Lineup:
so it was expected that even Priest deliver, but the whole world was not really prepared for what they were going to offer.
1986's Turbo is propably the most hated in Judas Priests otherwise most impressive back catalog. the only track that really stood out in an album filled with ultra radio friendly tracks is "Out In The Cold", perhaps there is a hidden message that it really stood out on the cold.
the only reason why this is a must have, is because even though its foot tappingly sinful, it is probably the best album to get someone interested in Priest. all the tracks are radio friendly, very mainstream. u just want to get up and dance to tracks like "Hot For Love", "Rock you all around the world", "locked in", "Parental Guidance".
the sound was the most experimental as there were synthesizers being used for the very first time. The drums were the most basic, probably done to make the fans dance instead of Headbang, but the other trade marks were all there. excellent vocal range, driving guitars, and crazy solos (check 'Locked In' for sweeps & wild shredding)
the only reason it didnt work was because the fans were totally disillusioned with what they were hearing. From a band that inspired countless other bands, with their trademark hard rock/metal act, to come up with such a lame 'commercial' record was unforgiving. the album would have been outstanding if it was made by some lesser known rock band, but fans of metal & Priest still consider this their worst output ever. they even hated the cover of what looked like the hands of a sophisticated woman "pushing the gear" in turbo mode!
harsh , really, as all the songs are excellent albeit commercial. they still sound metal and not like the glam rock pop metal bands that exploded during that time, and one really has to listen to this album with an open mind to truley enjoy it.
as Rob screams in Parental Guidance " dont you remember what its like, to loose control, put on my jacket b'fore you get too old, lets Rock n Roll!"
