Point of Entry is a heavy metal album from the band Judas Priest. It was released on February 26, 1981 .
In 1980 Judas Priest garnered some airplay with "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight" from their album British Steel. As a result the band pursued a more radio friendly direction on Point of Entry. The more blatant commercial direction alienated some longtime listeners.
While most fans considered it bland compared to British Steel, it still was a classic among their albums, with three singles to go with it: "Heading Out To The Highway," "Don't Go" & "Hot Rockin'." They performed "Heading Out To The Highway" up until their "Priest...Live!" album, and "Hot Rockin'" is still performed today; two of which had accompanying music videos..
The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added.
The US and European album covers differed, this being repeated with the remaster.
