Judas Priest

[Azas]

In my view, Point of Entry is much closer in spirit to Turbo than to British Steel. It leans far more toward a commercial direction, or at least a more polished, radio-friendly approach. Not that British Steel wasn’t radio-friendly—but it was radio-friendly in the right way. To me, it never felt like a sellout. Point of Entry, on the other hand, comes across as trying too hard to chase that appeal, imo.

Much like Killers I am very fond of Point of Entry as it was my first Priest album. I think it's very cool they played Solar Angels on the last tour.

Firepower and ivincible shield i only lsitened once i think. About point of entry and british steel... judas priest? Judas priest sound.

They have literally said they were trying to make British Steel 2.0, deliberately aiming for the the anthems too, which Azas rightly pointed out as ending up as being too forced.

Yes, Point of Entry.

I like “Desert Plains” and “Solar Angels.” If all of Point of Entry had been more in the vein of those two—desert-rock, vision-inducing songs—I would rate the album much higher. As it is, it feels more like a product made to appeal than a statement or a clear creative direction.
