The Priest is back, baby!

[Aleksi]

Under blood red skies and sentinel are like perfect 80's action movies in song form

 

[JiveTurkey]

But Turbo is not. Seriously??

I can't figure none of you out, man!!

Turbo has more good songs. And LOTS of killer guitar synth. So I make exceptions

Turbo is Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone" meets Hard Rock.

If that's your bag. You can have it.

Even Rob, by all accounts, is not proud of Turbo. They fully embraced the
Synth Pop elements of the time... and mixed them into their production
and writing with less than stellar results. In my opinion.

I like me some Synth Pop action. Just not in the context of Priest.

I'll take Turbo over Living After Midnight (and most of that album) 10 times out of 10

Turbo and Defenders were both released when I was in high school, so there is the inevitable nostalgia factor at play for me.

Defenders is one of the GOATs

The song Turbo is a super fun listen on some good headphones. I unapologetically and unironically enjoy it.

Fun fact. First High School Band we formed our 1st 2 songs were Johnny B. Goode and Living After Midnight .

Colouring By Numbers.

Same.

I just felt like Turbo was a massive departure and kind of catered to the times. A little
too "Let's try and be trendy." For me.

My high school garage band also did LAM, along with Crazy Train, Rock And Roll, and a bunch of our own stuff that, looking back, was pretty obviously ripped off from other stuff we had been listening to.

I listened to the entire JP catalogue in order with some nice headphones, back during Covid, as a lockdown-coping thing.

I grew up loving British Steel through to Turbo, but was totally unfamiliar with their early stuff. Loved all of it, particularly the progg-y first album, as well as Sin After Sin and Stained Class. So many great songs, catchy and well-arranged riffs, and Halford is just not of this earth, the true metal god. I'll never get tired of hearing that guy sing.

For sure. Like “Judas Jovi.” However I do still like the album.

I did the same in the past year. That early stuff is just

So much of it I didn't recall, or can't remember hearing before.

My 1st Priest Album was Unleashed In The East.

particularly the progg-y first album,

Oops, I meant Sad Wings Of Destiny with this. Always forget about Rocka Rolla.

JT and I were relishing (and feuding a little) about that period a few months ago,
as I recall.
