Now you just need their first two albums and Kings of Metal. That last is probably my fav Manowar album. It's where they jumped the shark and became the victim of their own ludicrousness. The self-aggrandizement, the dodgy spoken word bit that goes on for too long, the none-more-cheesy ballads. It's where they went off the deep end, but they did it so right that it's glorious. It's their quintessential album. They had a copy of it at the local record store forever, but back then I hadn't realized just how much I loved them so I never got it. And when I finally went back it was gone. Gone. And Manowar is ****ing hard to track down outside of the internet since they don't have a distribution deal in America.
