turbo

this was the first judas priest record that i heard. at first i thought they were too much metallic for me but i found this record very accessible. this is not bad. songs were melodic and maybe more hard rock than heavy metal that is why priest fans may complain about it. it is a big step from defenders, my favourite, but i think this is a very good hard melodic work. songs as turbo lover, locked in, reckless, hot for love and the power ballad out in the cold.
i may be blamed :-( because of this but i do not care, i believe it is a great record, and priest were breve for entering in quicksand territory. of course this were not going to please everybody but a great band has to take risks ;-)
the remastered version offers few things, since i expected more. the record is nicely decorated, the lyrics are in but i would have expected some history about the making of the record ... the story of the twin turbos or comments about each song... in this address more information about this could be found: http://members.firstinter.net/markster/TURBO.html
