As far as liking their music, and recognizing that they've contributed far more to metal than their detractors would have you believe, I do take them seriously. But they're Manowar. It's impossible to ever truly take them seriously. "Secret of Steel" is one of, if not the most respectable, non-self-parody songs they ever wrote, but it's right next to "Warlord" (which I ****ing love, but it's a still goofy, goofy song.) Not to mention the next song is "Gloves of Metal". Not as embarrassing as some of their later work, but it's still one big, glorious cliche.
