Every Judas Priest Albums Ranked Worst To Best
11. Turbo
Turning it up to eleven at Number Eleven is Turbo. Like many of their 80s contemporaries, Judas Priest really began experimenting with their sound; incorporating more electronic elements and playing around with synthesizers. This made Turbo, as a record, into a much more mainstream ‘Glam Metal’ experience.
A thoroughly dazzling '80s experience through and through, Turbo contained absolute gems like Private Property, Parental Guidance and Turbo Lover. Some low points were present too, of course, with many looking to Rock You All Around The World as a hair metal mess of cheese and cliché; both in content and in title.
Whilst this shift in tone didn’t make everyone happy at the time of its release, Turbo remains one of the band’s only platinum-selling records (and the final one, at that). Rob Halford himself admitted that Turbo was the most “love/hate” priest album and one that would always continue to divide fans most strongly; even after other experimental efforts like Nostradamus.
