I find Turbo to be much more interesting than Angel of Retribution. Angel is the only standout track on the album IMO. Lochness could have been a Judas Priest classic but those lyrics... Serious and cheesy don't mix well. The rest is standard heavy metal fare, with some cool twin leads.
Turbo is commercial, yes, but it's actually quite original, something like progressive glam rock. And it being "of its time" is not a bad thing, it gives the album flavor. AOR is sanitized.

It reeks of over-commercialism and over produced. Locked In,Private Property,Parental Guidance don't have much energy to me as they have a keeping up with the jones' sound in 1986.ZZ TOP has never released anything this ridiculous. Judas Rising,Demonizer,Wheels Of Fire stop the shit out of these pussy songs.

Hellrider,I see you've listed Turbo over Screaming For Vengeance, Ram It Down and Angel Of Retribution....set aside the Screaming For Vengeance and Angel of Retribution albums know I've see you post Hard As Iron clips as well as Heavy Metal,Ram It Down tracks but I don't recall you ever posting anything from "Turbo".
So just what is it about the Turbo album you like so much better than Ram It Down,the stage cloths or the songs? Locked In,Private Property,Parental Guidance,Hot For Love you prefer over The Hellion/Electric Eye,Riding On The Wind,Bloodstone,Ram It Down and Heavy Metal? That just doesn't seem like you,is this your soft side?
