And in my opinion, & I would suggest the band's also, POE has the stronger songs - "Heading Out To The Highway", "Hot Rockin'", "Desert Plains" & "Solar Angels" - all of which have been included in various sets since the album came out, where as all of TURBO's with the exception of the classic title track have been long since dropped.
Sure, there is an argument to be made for "Out In the Cold" & "Reckless", but I fear the latter will never see the light of day live as Rob can no longer sing that high. [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by parky-priest from Thursday, March 10, 2011 2:21:25 PM)

Wild Nights.... is a great feelgood factor song whilst Rock you all around the world starts off promising but degenerates quickly. Yes, the Album lacks heavyness but it would be very interesting to hear Reckless on the forthcoming Epitaph tour. The rest of the Album in my opinion is weaker. |

Neither of them are crap. I have both of these on CD and vinyl and have listened to them about three to four times during the past two weeks (just like every other Priest album I own), so I know what I'm talking about.
PoE has it's moments with Heading Out to the Highway, Hot Rockin', Don't Go and Desert Plains, although it does also have not-so-good tracks like You Say Yes and Turning Circles. The album is much lighter than most other Priest albums but that's why I love the band; they've got so much variety, and this album in particular is for the feel-good moments.
I have more mixed feelings about Turbo. My other musical passion along with metal & rock is 80s pop (a weird combination, I know). So at the first glance, a combination of two of my favorite styles doesn't sound bad. I've always liked Turbo Lover - it was one of the songs that hooked me with the band. Out in the Cold is one of the best power ballads I've heard (I have a soft spot to power ballads, to be honest) and Reckless is a great hard rocker - although a bit out of it's place among the other, more synth-driven tracks. Again, there's some feel-good songs like Locked In, Parental Guidance, Rock You All Around the World and Wild Nights, Hot & Crazy Days, all of them great party songs. Private Property and Hot for Love try to be more serious but can't quite get there with all the synths, and are probably the weakest tracks on the album (although I love the solo in Hot for Love). Conclusion: I like the album, but it's not so much Priest as other albums. But I still listen to it regularly.

Agree they were good in there time people ,dont realize bands have to go with the flow to stay in the times. Like Nostrdomaus,it got them on prime time T.V.. Its hard to change one minded people Like Ripper Owens he dont get his due he had some good tunes its hard to follow a legend, Halford left ,he was thrown into the fire And some Tracks like BuLLLLet train,One on one, Feed on me to name a few really Rock! Listen to Rapid Fire on live 98 Halford never did it that good ever!

HAAAAAAAAA!!!!! While it is public knowledge that I actually like "Don't Go," that is just too damn funny.
Almost matches the level of pure disgust I have always felt for Stryper. Almost...

Sounds like me metalgodess. I like POE more than Turbo, but both albums unfortunately have a fair few bad songs. Turbo more so I believe, POE is underrated more often than not in my book.
