Album Notes & Community Reviews
Embracing the commercial aesthetics of the mid-80s, Judas Priest controversially integrated heavily synthesized Roland guitar-synths into their driving heavy metal sound. The album abandons their darker, metallic edge in favor of highly melodic, arena-ready glam metal anthems focused on hedonism and sexual bravado. 'Turbo' remains a highly energetic, playful, and polarizing pivot in their legendary discography.
