the Gull Records-era Judas Priest

[Purveyor Of Evil]

I LOVE Turbo! I took it for what it is. A great hard rock album. Not heavy metal-a great hard rock album. It was an album indicative of the times. So what?

Oh great, another person to give me my opinion. Can't you read? If you look up, you will see it highly ranked on my list, as I think it's a great album.

What's wrong with Ram it Down? Actually only Johnny B. Goode, Monsters of Rock, and Love Zone I don't like. Ram it Down made Painkiller possible. MM2000 has it correct, IMHO.

No, I don't, my opinion is wrong, EVERYONE knows that :Smug:

Not sure about you PoE, but I'm REALLY starting to get tired of the overly self righteous, asshole way of posting by certain people around here, heh.

I love Turbo. Of course I love synth-heavy 80's rock in general. I think people reflexively slag that album like it's just the accepted thing to do.

I agree with both points. Turbo came out my Junior year of High School and I saw them for the first time on that tour. It hit at *just* the right time for me and was exactly what I was looking for at that time. Even better to my ears is the '87 Live album from that tour. Great stuff!

I also think some people slam on Turbo because it's the accepted response (although I do accept that in this forum it's far more likely to find people who genuinely hate it than most other places). It reminds me of people defending grunge 10+ years ago with the same line I heard over and over and over again, "I used to listen to [insert 80's metal band here] but I was young and stupid and it's what my friends listened to. Then God sent his only begotten son, Kurt Cobain, to save my soul and I realized the error of my ways..."

Such as the implication in your reply to my post, ehh? Look who is the jackass now.

If you're talking about the post of mine you just quoted, evidently you can't understand even the thinnest veiled sarcasm. If you are talking about the other where I directly quoted you, I simply offered MY opinion, and did nothing to take away from the OPINIONS of others. Nice try though.

Turbo was at least an interesting risk, If not a successful one.

Ram It Down is the truly most unacceptable album in the discography. Nobody can disagree with that

Clearly, you must be high. While it is towards the bottom in terms of favorite Priest album, by no means is it even close to the atrocity that is Turbo. It was the album that started turning Priest around and made them even heavier than they ever were before.

Aas metalmilitia said, these "statements" that are speaking as if they know the opinion of the entire forum or metal community for that matter, NEED TO STOP!!!
