First, this recording is about 38 minutes long (same as the lp version) with no extra tracks.

Second, the sound on the cd is as great as the lp version.

Third. My cd contains the lyrics which were on the lp, but is missing the band member names and the dedications, including the one to Orsen Wells (thus the last Manowar recording Mr. Wells did narration on).

This recording features the same fine songwriting and performance found on Battle Hymns, Hail to England.

Some past reviews have stated that Manowar sold out on this recording.

There are no love ballads on this recording or pop tunes with added distortion to make it sound like a metal recording.

If 'selling out' means concentrating on writing great powerful majestic songs, instead of concentrating on trying to make some Wagnerian concept epic recording, thus sometimes resulting in some of the material being nothing more that filler in order to tie things together, then I wish more heavy metal bands would 'sell out' like this.

If quality, not quantity alone is judged, it is one of Manowar's best, it gets a 9/10 for a Manowar recording
