Judas Priest - Turbo

Albums like TURBO, PACK IS BACK, PINK BUBBLES GO APE, COLD LAKE, etc. just prove that our metal heroes are human and that even they can't hit one out of the park every time

I love all of those albums but have never heard "Pink Bubbles Go Ape." I need to listen to it now!

"Cold Lake" and "Turbo" are two of my favorite releases by Celtic Frost and Judas Priest.

i would skip pink bubbles go ape. i have never heard it but the cover is enough to make me not want to listen to it - one of the worst covers ever

Maybe I should clarify. Pink Bubbles Go Ape does have its moments amidst the weird stuff. It's not a GREAT record but is a fun record if you're in the right mood for it. However, the follow up, CHAMELEON, is simply god-awful boring.

synth guitars worked for Iron maiden on somewhere in time though at least because that album is a metal classic

So true, it was a perfect "sync". But if you ask me to select between PoM and SiT albums, I would say PoM - though both these albums are the best from the band.

both have different guitar tones that are both actually very nice to listen too. pom has some filler tracks though unlike sit

Yup, that is what I was refering too, personal choice for me, is that tone from PoM, which is more of "metal" to my ears.

its a very nice tone especially on where eagles dare one of my favourite iron maiden cuts

i really like the sound as a whole on somewhere in time. i like the guitar tone and the subtle keyboards used in the background and stuff, it makes it seems futuristic which was the albums 'concept'

Turbo is mediocre when compared with other bands albums, and crap when juxtaposed with Priest's other albums! So seeing that the band is in fact JUDAS PRIEST, this album is a failure. PARENTAL GUIDANCE?! NOOOOOOO, for God's sake they were in their late 30's when they wrote that lol.

I really like it, but it's certainly not the first cd of their's that I grab off the rack. It's probably in the bottom five of their catalogue to me. Peace.

When the song "Turbo Lover" was played over the PA system when SLAYER played here in Nov.1986 (in Toronto),
the ENTIRE concert hall erupted with chants of "b u l l sh i t!" until the song was quickly taken off.
