The album title pretty much says it all. Manowar is as you expect them to be, on this album too. Not that there is anything wrong with that, they are convincing in their attitude.Fighting the World is far from Manowars best album, it is a bit too produced for my taste and the songwriting seems uneven at times. Violence and Bloodshed for example I could easily have done without. But the album also contains some very strong tracks, like the amazing power-balad Defender, narrated by Orson Welles. Some people may argue that Manowars balads fall flat, I never shared that view. Holy War is a traditional Manowar song, and should have become a classic, although it seems somewhat forgotten to me. The last track Blackwind, Fire and Steel is an amazing and powerful speed attack.
All in all not their best effort, but still a good one.
