Artist: ManowarAlbum: The Triumph of Steel Old Rating: 4/5
Verdict: Ah, Manowar. Either the most manly of metal bands on the planet or the most homoerotic (take your pick). Either way, they're not a band that's ever wowed me with their music. This album is okay. The long opener in some ways feels like they were trying to make their 2112, but for me it falls short of that greatness and could have used some trimming down. Everything's generally solid USPM though. It's a keeper, but I can't see myself ever buying anything else by them. I do also have The Hell of Steel compilation, which is about as much of them as I can stomach.
New Rating: No Change. |
If you also have The Hell of Steel, you really don't need anything else by Manowar. Fighting The World and Kings of Metal are the best two albums (the first three albums are overrated by Manowar purists), but the highlights from them are on that compilation, and you're not missing anything by not owning them.
