Just curious if anyone has any suggestions as to where to start with this band? I know their catalog is huge, but I'd be curious to see if there is a good starting point aka the "must have" album....

Thanks.

I've never heard a note of their music (though now they sound pretty interesting reading about them), but in the interest of providing you an answer, internet research seems to point to "The Deluge", being as it's listed as a BNR favorite and is the only album of theirs that's rated on allmusic.com.

Cheers Ryan. I was just being facetious with the lack of response, heh. I figured Manilla Road would be quite highly hailed around these parts...but of course there is also the ever-so-reliable Old School Forum and they all unanimously voted for the "Cystal Logic" album as being the best MR release. Sounds like they're all good either way. \m/

Actually, I think I prefer "The Deluge". "Mystification" and "Crystal Logic" are winners too. :)
 
What do Manilla road sound like? I read once they were stoner metal but then some other places Ive read up on they say that MR sounds like an old school version of True Metal, like Jag Panzer and Manowar.
