With this album, Priest tried desperately something new just to earn more money. That's the explanation. Don't come talking about "exploring new directions", "refininf their sound", "trying new ideas". No. It was just a sell out to please Columbia Records and try to compete with the hair metal bands of that time (middle-eighties). As with most fo the bands that made this sell out, the result backfired: the band earned few new fans and lost a lot of the old ones, who just got angry and/or confused with the "betrayal".The worst of all was the changing in clothing, attitude and lyrics subjects. Unbeliavable, disgusting. Priest tried hard to sound like some cheap californian band. TURBO was their worst effort up till that point in time, and I still must flip coins to decide what album is worst, TURBO or Ram It Down. I think it's TURBO.
