After the massive success of British Steel, Judas Priest faced enormous pressure to deliver another hit. Released in 1981, Point of Entry divided fans with its more commercial, radio-friendly direction. Was it a creative misstep—or an underrated transitional record? In this video, I break down the label pressure, the Ibiza recording sessions, the mixed critical reception, and how this album paved the way for Screaming for Vengeance. Let’s explore the story behind one of Priest’s most debated releases and decide: was Point of Entry truly too commercial?
