from hell
i like heavy metal. i love bands like iron maiden, judas priest, stratovarius, mercyful fate,blind guardian etc. i was in a train station and in the cd store i was looking and i saw this cd by manowar. I had heard that they were quite good so i bought it. THIS IS THE WORST CD MADE EVER BY ANYBODY IN ANY GENRE OF MUSIC. IT IS SOOOO BAD IT IS ACTUALLY PAINFUL TO LISTEN TO. IN FACT I WAS NOT ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE CD IN ONE TRY. I HAD TO STOP IT DURING THE HORRENDOUS DRUM SOLO IN THE FIRST SONG(a waste of 28 minutes called agony and extasy of achilles or something. I GAVE THIS CD TO A FRIEND AND HE TOO AGREES IT IS TERRIBLE. I HAVE NOT YET FOUND 1 PERSON WHO CAN LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM. Reasons why it : 1)atrocious music: it seems that manowar dont know what exactyl music is, they havent yet found out how to make anything that sounds remotely interesting.its the same boring power chord riffs over and over with some of the worst rythm i have ever heard.and the composition skills of manowar are just pathetic 2)the vocalist:yes the worst part of the band if the music is bad he is frightfully terribly bad. he doesnt even sing he just chants out the idiotic lyrics like an actor who is reciting shakespeare 3)the lyrics: this band obviously thinks that they are evil warriors or something. its really pathetic that they haevnt grown up yet. the best lyric is without doubt: 2,4,6,8 your soul i will desecrate. ... It is offensive to think that Manowar even exists. ...
