Point of Entry is the seventh album from the British heavy metal band Judas Priest. It was released on 26 February 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 melodic, radio friendly direction on Point of Entry. However, the demo version of "On the Run" was not so radio friendly. It had "different lyrics, speed-metal pace, and spit-fire fast vocals."

Альбом показал, что Judas Priest направились к более коммерческому стилю, однако некоторые песни всё ещё имели тексты, основной тематикой которых являлись тёмные лирические куплеты (как в предыдущих альбомах группы). Вместе со звучанием изменилась и стилистика: на обложке ключевое место занимает кожа и металл, ставшая символом метала. В США альбом вышел под названием Hell Bent for Leather, так как американской компании не понравилось настоящее название альбома. Трек "The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)" являвшийся кавером на одноимённую песню группы Fleetwood Mac был также включён в состав американского издания по просьбе компании-издателя.

British Steel saw the band reprise the commercial sound they had established on Killing Machine. This time, they abandoned some of the dark lyrical themes which had been prominent on their previous releases, but some of it still remains. British Steel was recorded at Tittenhurst Park, home of former Beatle Ringo Starr, a recording studio located on Tittenhurst's grounds, after a false start at Startling Studios in December 1979. Digital sampling was not yet widely available at the time of recording, so the band used analog recording of smashing milk bottles to be included in "Breaking the Law", as well as various sounds in "Metal Gods" produced by billiard cues and trays of cutlery.
