UK: Heavy Metal/Hard Rock, some songs made in the style of the glam metal
The album was ranked No. 39 on Metal-Rules.com list over the 50 greatest glam metal albums.
While Turbo sold well initially, going Gold (RIAA) on 10 June 1986 and Platinum on 24 July 1987, and reaching No. 33 in the UK and No. 17 on Billboard 200, the long-term reaction from fans was quite negative. The band's use of guitar synthesizers and the introduction of hints of glam metal into their image were particularly unpopular with the band's fanbase at the time.[citation needed] Sales tapered off and the subsequent live album from the otherwise successful "Fuel for Life" tour tanked by the band´s standards, only going Gold after a string of Platinum certified albums.[citation needed]
Aside from the title track, most of the songs on Turbo disappeared from the live setlist by 1989.
Rob Halford referred to Turbo as the "love/hate Judas Priest album". In 2008 he told Kerrang!:
The only agenda we've ever had in Priest was to really give every album its own life and I think we've achieved that on everything from Rocka Rolla up to the new one, Nostradamus. That said, if ever there was a controversial record in terms of what people might have expected from us, it's Turbo. It was the fact that we moved into a different atmosphere, but that's where we were at at that particular time. Some of the technological advances like the pedal boards that Glenn and KK used were giving us options for different sounds and experimentation. Personally I think there are still some great tracks on that album ... It's one of the recordings that divide opinion."
