i always thought metal fans were a little stuck up and elitist but some of you are really cool ppl and i want to hear what you guys appreciate in the music in hopes i can appreciate it too.
Plus the lyrics in that song are f*cking awesome.

A user in another site introduced them to me, which would be a good album to get into Manowar?

The problem with Manowar, is that as much as I love them, there's something wrong with most of their albums, even the good ones.
Kings of Metal would have to be their penultimate record, and probably their most consistent.
Into Glory Ride is another top contender, but it's got a slower, heavier pace than their other albums, and isn't the most accessible choice for newer listeners, but it's become one of my favs. For their modern albums, the only one that isn't hopelessly-flawed-but-with-a-few-godlike-songs is
Warriors of the World.
And if you're gonna listen to Manowar, then you've gotta be able to take cheese. They are the definition of cheese in metal. The fact that you don't cringe at the lyrics to "Die for Metal" is a good sign though.

Oh god. I was just thinking about working on that story I dropped a year ago for my first journal, and Manowar is pretty much the soundtrack to that, so the urge is growing.
