Point of Entry Reviews:
THIS ROCKS!!!!!!
2009-07-13 - Item as described. I was immediately catapulted into memories of days gone by as soon as the first note was struck.

"Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later"
2004-07-16 - Judas Priest's 1981 Point of Entry was the follow-up to the classic British Steel. Speaking in vinyl terms, if Point of Entry consisted of the entire first side and "Solar Angels" from side two, it would be 5-star and Priest's most solid album. Unfortunately, it continues with some of Priest's worst tracks.

First, the best stuff: The first three songs also sport music videos available on the video Fuel for Life. "Heading Out to the Highway" is the best of the bunch, but "Don't Go" and "Hot Rockin'" are also excellent, catchy tracks. I really like "Turning in Circles." It is a fun, kick back rocker. "Desert Plains" is excellent. It is a slower track dominated by some thundering drums by Dave Holland (now serving 8 years for a sexual assault conviction). The song transports its listener across desert plains. It is very well done. "Solar Angels" doesn't blow one away but is a solid, catchy track. It is almost of the style of a British Steel song as it is a driving, repetitive song with no chorus (like "Rapid Fire" and "Steeler"). If it had the grinding guitar sound, it would fit very well on British Steel.

Now for the bad stuff: The rest of the album is terrible. "You Say Yes" is just annoying, especially the chorus. The quiet bridge is the best part. Parts of "All the Way" sound a little like "Don't Have to Be Old to Be Wise," but it is not in the same league as that excellent British Steel track. "Troubleshooter" is also annoying and "On the Run" is a little better, but not by much. Although this album breaks down at the end, the best tracks are so good that this album is still worthy of 4 stars.

A remarkable effort
2003-06-26 - This album sounds just as good as it did 20 years ago. Even though it's not on the same plain as Vengeance and British Steel, it still packs a punch. The album is rock solid until around track 8 and then it looses a little steam. But still, a very kickin' album from a band that delivered the metal goods for decades.

What the hell?
2002-12-28 - I bought this album knowing of only Heading out to the Highway which is a very kool song. When I listned to the whole album I was not too happy. Desert Plains,Solar Angels and Heading Out To The Highway are the only 3 I like on this album. JP were criticized more for TURBO than POINT OF ENTRY. I find TURBO to be better than POINT OF ENTRY. It sounds like JP didnt work very hard on this album. While the 3 songs I mentioned are very good I just don't care for the remaining songs.

Can't Believe I'm Writing A Review For This!
2002-10-26 - When I was in junior high school in the early 80's I worshipped Judas Priest. "Point Of Entry" is probably their best album in my opinion...back then they were called "albums" by the way.

"Turning Circles," "Hot Rockin'," "Heading Out To The Highway," "Solar Angels," "Desert Plains" and "Turning Circles" were all great tunes and every once in a while I still crank them up on my RoadRunner Rhapsody Software account for a nostalgic kick.

"British Steel," "Point Of Entry" and "Screaming For Vengeance" were definitely the pinnacle of the group's musical career.

Who could forget the old MTV videos of Heading Out To The Highway and Hot Rockin'? Although Rob Halford's admissions to being openly gay were a bit of a shock to me and my macho, heavy metal listening former self, I still respect and enjoy their music regardless, much like the mainstream still enjoys Queen...music is music.

"You Say Yes," "All The Way," and "Troubleshooter" are also quality tunes from Heavy Metal's glory days on this release that have always been under-appreciated.

While gay, hairy, macho guys in leather might give us heterosexual guys the squeamies, no one knew it back then and the subject material of their songs generally referred to women or just plain macho man antics.

Do I feel "betrayed" by Judas Priest being a former big fan as a girl crazy youngster? No, because I never even felt or saw a bit of sexuality in their music, it was just good, hard rockin' British metal.

Point Of Entry is truly one of the finest Heavy Metal albums ever created.

Rock on.
