"Fighting the World" was released when the music world was infested with the big hair/ glam rockers and unfortunately, Manowar was not immune to the phenomena. While this is hands-down Manowar's worst album, it also proves something else: Even at their worst, the Kings of Metal are greater than many other bands at their best!This album contains a lot of downers, like Manowar's worst-ever song, "Blow Your Speakers," and "Fighting the World" which isn't too much better. Both are gilded glam rock songs. Other songs like "Violence and Bloodshed" and "Defender," featuring Olson Welles, weren't as good as they could have been, but weren't too bad. However, even then, Manowar can produce good songs to save themselves, like "Black Wind, Fire and Steel" and "Holy War," both which personify the spirit of Manowar. Yes, even Manowar can make mistakes, but then again, a screw-up by Manowar exceeds victories of others!
