<i>Point of Entry</i> 1981 studio album by Judas Priest

Point of Entry is the seventh studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 26 February 1981 by Columbia Records. Following the commercial success of their previous album British Steel (1980), the band pursued a more radio-friendly direction on Point of Entry. Following the conclusion of the British Steel World Tour, the band began work on their next project.

This gave Point of Entry a louder, stronger, more "live" sound than previous Judas Priest albums.
