Best post reformed Manilla Road album

[Vilden]

Had to put on Spiral Castle in the spirit of this thread.

I've been listening to it almost everyday for the past two weeks.

The last two songs are fucking something.

Really excited to hear Playground of the Damned, from what I've heard people say it's pretty dark sounding.

I disagree. I like Voyager way more than Gates of Fire, for instance. GOF seems to drag and has a bit too doomy of a vibe for me (obviously people who like trad doom more than I do, even though I do like doom, will like it more), while V has a big death metal influence in a lot of parts, plus the long ballad-esque/acoustic tracks are amazing to me, and the storyline is gripping and really cool.

to me when I listen to Gates of Fire it tends to remind me of Open the Gates. And no it's not because they both have the word gates in the title.

Gates of Fire is probably my favorite, but like everyone else said...they haven't had a bad release, before or after the reform

I'd go as far as saying that everything they've released has been excellent.
