The course for simplicity was set on "British Steel" & this album continued in that vein...A real plunge from former glory technically speaking that is...Some all time live classics here too...But all in all too little diversity & innovativity here...

'Point of Entry' is often regarded as one of the worst Priest albums. Not by me. I actually prefer this one over 'British Steel'. Songs like 'Hot Rockin', "Heading out..." and 'Desert Plains' are far better than the majority of 'Bristish Steel'.

Priest' most definitely fit the criteria for HH. They have a ton of melodic stuff-They've either influenced or inspired half the bands on this site and HH !

On this album, they simplify the music even more than on "British Steel", in fact this sounds like a tired rehash of that album. "Heading Out To The Highway" sounds like it would have fit great on the previous album, but the rest is just average. 7/10

Wow,Is it me or does the drum sound on everything in the "Dave Holland Era" suck.He often sounds like a sterile f*king drum machine.Hate to be critical,but its too bad for us that Scott Travis' didn't join up early on in Priest' . "Heading Out To The Highway" and "Desert Plains" are good songs.Yet,by contrast "Don't Go,"Hot Rockin' etc are complete and total sht . ----

I hate to say bad things about a great band, specially JUDAS PRIEST...but I find this album a really boring one. "Heading Out To The Highway", "Hot Rocking", and "Desert Plains" are the only stand-outs.

Casi en las venas del British Steel estos por ser albums de comienzos dedecada y con esa influencia de los 70 que se nota, pero que tiene sus buenos cortes el caso por ejemplo de Desert Plains un gran corte de Heavy/Hard.

I guess that I am in the minority, but I have always really liked this album tremendously (bought it on vinyl when it was released). I consider this their best AFTER "Stained Class," "Hell Bent..." and "Unleashed..." The riffs are catchy. I prefer it to "British Steel" but that's a good one too.

A major disappointment compared to STEEL And to think it was just a year away...

From: halfordhughes	Date: June 2, 2011 at 13:36

don't know why this has some bad reviews i like it not near as good as the classic brithish steele (vengance should've been the follow up there) but it has some good songs heading out to the highway is cool as is desert plains it's not that bad an album people

From: rick kerch vzla	Date: November 9, 2014 at 10:22
"Hot Rocking" is my fave track in here and is obviously followed by the other "hit single" "Heading Out To The Highway"...other appealing songs are tracks 5,6,7,9 & 10...a cool rocking album but without too much hesitation IMHO...83/100

Man, I used to play the heck out of this album in college. Yeah, its a bit "lighter" than other Priest albums but it still rocks.

To me, Point Of Entry is like a twin to British Steel. The overall sound of the album is nearly identical to its predecessor, to where you could easily picture the two being recorded at the same time. The difference lies in the songs, as there are fewer standouts, and somewhat more of an emphasis on melody and less on crushing (for the time) riffs. In the end, Point Of Entry comes off as a little more "hard rock" than "heavy metal," if you will. But "Desert Plains" is one of my all-time favorite Priest songs, and the other singles "Heading Out To The Highway" and "Hot Rockin'" (despite its cringe-worthy video) are classics as well. But there's no denying songs like "Don't Go," "Turning Circles" and "Troubleshooter" are filler.

very good album once again for JUDAS PRIEST and as Doghouse states this one is more on the hard rock territory than heavy metal !the quality is here ,the vocals ,the guitar solos that marked their sound but the speed is gone and the songs are in a mid tempo hard rocking style !"heading out to the highway " is a classic and "desert plains",'hot rockin",'"dont go" are fine songs also!every PRIEST album is a must have

I revisited this album over weekend, as I sometimes take a notion to do. And the thing that struck me is that, as seen in comments above and basically anywhere else Point Of Entry is discussed, there are three songs that are almost universally acknowledged as Priest classics ... and seven others that are almost never mentioned. I know "Solar Angels" is kind of a dark horse, and they opened shows with it on this tour, but that seems so strange to me given its slow tempo and general lack of a hook. Never been a favorite of mine in any way. Otherwise ... I dunno, man! "You Say Yes" has a bouncy, rock 'n' roll rhythm to it that's kinda fun. Maybe this didn't seem like too much of a disappointment at the time, to the average American listener?
