Every Judas Priest Albums Ranked Worst To Best
10. Point Of Entry
1981’s Point Of Entry had a lot to prove after coming directly on the heels of Judas Priest’s seminal British Steel record (which we’ll get to later). Presumably thinking the best way to win a competition was to not play at all, the band opted to create and record the music spontaneously, rather than writing or planning it out ahead of time.
When held up to a classic piece of metal like British Steel, Point Of Entry came off as just a bit rubbish. However, this is like comparing a Michelin Star dinner to a Gregg’s Sausage Roll; they both have their place and it’s a little bit unfair to even try and compare them.
Upon revisiting, there’s a lot to love about this record. You can viscerally sense the band were simply giving people more of what they liked, even if it may have come off as bland at times. Standouts from the record include Desert Plains and Heading Out To The Highway. If you’ve got a bit of a road trip and forty minutes to spare, Point Of Entry is an excellent driving album.
