How did I feel when Turbo was released?  Do I have to be honest?  I was with a buddy of mine when I picked it up (on cassette tape).  My buddy didn't really care for anything heavier than Def Leppard, but after I turned him on to DOTF, he really dug it.  Anyway, I put it in the player on the way back to town (couldn't wait to get home) when Turbo came on (the first track).  I could NOT believe what I was hearing!  I had to convince him that the same band made both albums.  He never really gave Priest much of a thought after that, and I kinda lost a little "metal coolness" in his eyes for DEFENDING it (I'll forever represent Priest no matter how I feel personally about an individual song or album).  I was probably more embarrassed on the inside that the METAL GODS that I loved so much totally missed the target with me.  I am 21-22 years old at the time and songs like Parental Guidance and Private Property, I just couldn't relate to them.  In time I have grown to appreciate the album for what it is, and it is a classic in it's own right.  But that is how I felt about the Turbo album upon it's release.

Keep Rockn'

A lot of parent groups shot their cause in the foot by wearing their tunnel hats so far down on their brow.
