The Lord of Steel

The production on this is crap. Sounds like it was recorded underwater.

Get the Hammer Edition, its that simple. The difference in production and mixing is astonishing. Great stuff! All Hail Manowar!

The album kills. Has a real heavy guitar sound, but is another great manowar record. I have enjoyed this album over many others.

I can understand why some people might have a problem with the album. After all, a few of the songs are a bit on the repetitive side and the production is a touch odd to say the least. Still, I think it’s a great Manowar record, and I also believe that their next album won’t repeat the few strange choices present on The Lord of Steel. If anything, the band was experimenting with a new sound, and sometimes that works, but sometimes it doesn’t. There are plenty of excellent songs on this album, and I look forward to future releases as always.

This is a sad tired album. If you like 80's Activision Atari games you'll love the bass playing on this album. Only high point is Karl Logan actually sounds like he is playing with feeling. Find true metal elsewhere because this band lost it. Bring back Ross the Boss as a songwriter! It's your only hope.

It's kind of sad, no longer hearing Eric's godly wails, but time stops for nobody, not even Manowar. Regardless, still plenty good, and I'd love to see them live one day (preferably not in a nursing home because god knows they'll be body oiling, chest hairing and cheesy metal antheming all the way to the grave.)

I have been following Manowar since their inception. Many times I had to order their music from overseas and I never missed an album. Gods of War was just dreadful and not a project that I would have envisioned in the Manowar collection. I was hoping that they would regroup and have another great album, but this album just sounds tired. There are some songs that are decent, but none that you would rock out to like in the past. It is too bad that many of the groups that I followed in the 70s, 80s and 90s are making albums that just are not up to par and do not match their early work.

wheres the old manowar that brought us kings of metal, blow your speakers. if you are a 1st time customer to manowar. go find the song kings of metal. it seems like so many older musicians are releasing albums but are failing miserbly. kiss, zz top, scorpions, aerosmith. so far the only older band seems to be pulling anything off is rolling stones with 1 song doom and gloom. even van halen released a new album and it wasnt good at all.

If you are 40 years old and playing dungeons and dragons in your parent's basement you may enjoy this. I think Manowar has a dartboard with words like "Steel", "Gods", "Warriors", "Hammer" and "sword", etc. That is how thou pickest the titles of thy albums. Needs more loincloth!

Manowar never disappoints but this album is more of a return to what made them who they are. Hammers up true metal people!
