I just wish I'd had one more actually good Manowar album to review before I finished with the LP's. Feels wrong to end on two mediocre notes. Hopefully the rest of their discography will yield some serious hidden gems.
Of course, I could always change my mind about an album and come back to it. I doubt I'll ever come to enjoy Gods of War, but The Lord of Steel and Fighting the World seem to be growing on me a bit. And there's still the rerecorded versions of Battle Hymns and Kings of Metal. I don't remember being particularly impressed by them, but who knows.
And I'm gonna rationalize that this isn't an off topic post since I miss Manowar posting good albums.
