I have been a loyal and huge fan of Manowar since Battle Hymms came out in the early 80's. Over the years some records have been better than others but I always loved them because it was Manowar. "Warriors of the World" [is really bad]! I can not beleive this is the same band that wrote " The Gates of Valhalla" and "Blood of my Enemies" . I have been defending and standing up for Manowar since I was a little kid. Every [person] who made fun of them or did not see what was great about Manowar was a mission for me to get them into their music and vibe. I've been to every local show and even had dinner with Manowar after a show once in NJ. But I have to say that this record is a big dissapointment. The lyrics and music are absolutly horrible. Usually the Metal Anthem song (Brothers of Metal etc...) is the worst track on a Manowar record. The Metal Anthem on this record is the only one I can listen to. The rest of the tracks are garbage. I really think it's time for them to hang it up. Joey and Eric have lost their way. Plain and simple : If your a fan of such songs as " March for Revenge" , "Bridge of Death" , "Hatred" and other great Manowar titles leave this record on the shelf. I already spent my hard earned cash on this horrible record. You shouldn't have to !
