Judas Priest Point Of Entry

There is no overstating Judas Priest's position at the very top of heavy metal's Mount Olympus. The long-term association (eight consecutive live and studio albums) between the band and producer Tom Allom includes seventh studio effort Point of Entry which had the difficult task of being sandwiched in between signature albums British Steel (1980) and Screaming for Vengeance (1982). Bringing back some blues boogie elements and cut spontaneously in Ibiza with more of a live feel in mind, the Gold-certified collection is at its best on hard-nosed rockers like "Heading Out to the Highway," "Desert Plains" and "Solar Angels."
