Judas Priest's most mature and professional album was their first one, Rocka Rolla. Little by little, they went downhill with each album after that, so that by the mid '80s, they looked like a bunch of silly middle-aged men playing childish bubblegum for below-average 10-year olds. Turbo (1985, I believe) makes the first two Partridge Family albums sound like Larks Tongues in Aspic. I'd rather listen to those old LPs anytime.
