(Rated this album with 6 out of 10) Reviewed by

I have nearly every Manowar album, with the exceptions of Fighting The World and Louder Than Hell (though I've listened to both quite thoroughly), and this just is not the best. The first sign of something wrong is the opener All Men Play On 10. The 'death to false metal' message is nice, but the lyrics are rather uninspired, and the music is slow. Plus, the bass solo on this one is boring. Overall, this album just seems tired and uninspired, as though they had no new ideas. Unfortunately, they did have a new idea after this, and it involved selling out.
