Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the monumental success of 'British Steel', Judas Priest opted for a more accessible, radio-friendly approach on 'Point of Entry'. The album is characterized by significantly lighter, bouncy hard rock hooks and anthemic choruses, resulting in a highly energetic, very melodic, and hedonistic record seemingly destined for American stadium tours.
