I listened again and was blown away by it, especially the song "A Dying God Coming into Human Flesh" and the feelings it evoked in me.
I think it's lame when bands continue without an original guitarist. Frank was Sodom. I think if he stayed in the band Sodom could have had 2,3 more killer albums.
One thing that can be said about Sodom, is that they never went to shit or softened up, which is very rare for a thrash band that has been around as long as they have. Even Kreator released a couple different sounding, bad albums. Sodom has not. I even like Sodom's newest CD quite a lot. I actually already listened to it today, here at work.
Unless you're Megadeth and you get Marty Friedman.....
I also think that the early Maiden, under Paul Di'Anno, is unnecessary.

Does anyone believe it's pointless to purchase a band's entire discography, especially when they have more than three releases? Do you just go for two of the better releases, buy one to get a taste, or blindly purchase every album?
Manilla Road is a pretty new discovery for me and I'll most likely collect 'em all.
It is not just any band that has released quality albums for a pretty solid stretch of over 25 years!
I dunno.
Tried the short clips on their site.
The first album sounds cool but by by 93 or so it sounds more like pop than metal to me.
Maybe it's a European thing.
