It's not my fault Manowar aren't as awesome as their reputation. Wait, their reputation is that they're "awesome" - with an ironic wink. Kinda like Hammerfall, except I think Hammerfall can be quite good when they manage to stop being so horribly bland for a moment.
I'm not opposed to cheese in metal at all, but... this album isn't really doing much for me. It was fun to listen to as a sort of exploration of metal history that I haven't paid much attention to, but I don't think they're really very good musicians or song writers / composers if I gotta be perfectly honest...
