Here's all you need to know about the albums Judas Priest put out in the 1980's: Half of the them were good or great, and half of them were pretty bad.  POINT OF ENTRY falls into the latter category.

Following the enormous success of the hard-hitting BRITISH STEEL album, Priest decided to try to capitalize on the American market by going in a more commercial direction with the follow-up.  The result is a collection of mostly forgetable songs.  There are three good songs here: "Heading Out To The Highway," "Hot Rockin'" & "Desert Plains."  The instrumental intro to "Solar Angels" is pretty cool also.

Simply put, this is an album that was made more for pop music fans as opposed to metalheads.  Just look at the album cover!!!!  It doesn't exactly scream "Metal" now does it?  If you need further proof, just look at the track listings on the live albums Priest have put out since the early 1980's.  How many songs from POINT OF ENTRY do you see?
