hard question for ManOwaR fans, my vote goes for "Hail to England", among the first albums I feel its the more well rounded talking about composition (fast songs,epic passages,or just headbanging rokcing songs)
or maybe its all because has BLOOD OF MY FUCKING ENEMIES as opener
we cant deny the magic of "the crown and the ring"

I chose "Sign Of The Hammer". And that is because of "Mountains" which has become my favorite Manowar song. At overall level best album is maybe "Hail To England", a-side is pure metal magic on that one.
"Into Glory Ride" has probably most spin in my players, one of my alltime favorite hangover albums, maybe most epic metal album to this day (except the opener). No bad words about "Battle Hymns" also, top-20 metal albums for me.
But today it's "Sign Of The Hammer".
Btw, are those "silver edition" cd's hard to get nowdays? I only have Into Glory Ride from those and would like to have rest of them. Got to give some rest to my vinyls now and then.

They shouldn't be hard to find, although as far as I know Battle Hymns was only released in the US as a silver edition. It's definitely worth the money though, as the linernotes are cool and it sounds better than ever.nabel wrote: Btw, are those "silver edition" cd's hard to get nowdays?

I really can't choose from those four. Early Manowar is heavy metal perfection for me, although I love Fighting The World and Kings Of Metal and The Triumph Of Steel has its moments too. If only they were as good now as they were then....
I'm not sure exactly which version of the CD's you are seeking, but I do have a set of Manowar's old albums, legitimate CD re-issues that I'm looking to get rid of for cheap in basically flawless condition, perhaps $5.00 a piece?nabel wrote:Btw, are those "silver edition" cd's hard to get nowdays?

Let me know if you're interested.

Hail to England for me. Heavy, epic with an intense black feeling in music and lyrics (Each dawn i die, Bridge of death). Not a single filler, every song rips.
Sign is a close second, but it starts with the godawful and stupid All men play on ten, so it's not flawless.
Btw, my favorite Manowar track lies in the last great album they put out which imo is Triumph of steel. The track is The power of thy sword.

Agh, I want to change my own vote Into Glory Ride has grown on me to be their best release ever and best epic metal album ever too. How someone can dislike it is beyond me. The only thing that's not superb is the intro of Warlord and it's so bad it's kinda funny so that's kinda plus too!

Isn't it too gay for you?Jens wrote:Playing INTO GLORY RIDE now. Does it get any better than this ultimate epic metal madness?!
I had to wait to post this until side A was done, too much fistpounding to write a message.
And yes, it does get better. Just listen to their previous and following albums.
