Point of Entry

 

Turbo

I'm a big fan of Turbo and Point of Entry, even though I have them lower on my list. I'm a big fan of all the Halford-era albums.

I love all six albums from the 1980s.

 

Firepower skyrocketed to the top of my list the first time I heard it.

Yeah Firepower is really good. What's your ultimate Firepower track right now?

I also like Point of Entry a lot- though I think of it more as just rock and roll, and not metal.

”Rising From the Ruins”

Nice, that one has a Desert Plains kind of feel with a little bit of Blood Red Skies as well (which I'm a big fan of).

 

I think the secret weapon of the album is Flame Thrower! :haz:

I find my self just absentmindedly playing the riff to Flamethrower all the time, it's sick! The first time I heard it I was just in shock.

Shock?

 

Don't think I have ever heard someone describe hearing a riff that way before.

It's like this. After listening to enough pentatonic blues based riffs in my life, there are certain phrases I expect to hear. If a phrase starts off like one I'm familiar with, I subconsciously think I know how it's going to go before it's finished. When I first heard Firepower, I had that experience up until the chromatic bit, which took me totally off guard, then it just kept repeating and never came back down to where I thought it would land when the track started. I was in shock, very happy shock!

I love them both as well - not so much as 'Priest' records. But as good, almost prog records.

 

Frankly, I think that Turbo is what Point Of Entry would have sounded like if the band had the guitar synths back then.

Painkiller

Stained Class

Sin After Sin

Killing Machine (Hell Bent for Leather)

I've never had Painkiller in my top 5 and it's not even in my top 10 these days. I do really like the album though, there's just so many better ones in the Priest canon.

Played Firepower today. It is wonderful! I'm a bit meh to a lot of their recent albums, hence why I've overlooked it.

 

Well...I shouldn't have

To me Painkiller seems a bit too much of a reaction to criticism of Turbo and Ram it Down and other stuff (let's show those thrash metal bands), a try-hard album, a little bit forced and by numbers. I still like it though.

It's the most aggressive Priest album. Love it.

I think it hangs with most of the big thrash records. Maybe not Rust In Peace, but it holds its own against Persistence Of Time, Seasons In The Abyss, and ...And Justice For All.

Aggressive but with songs that aren't as good as most Priest albums.
