The Manilla Road concept albums are usually among my favorites. At least of their post-reunion stuff. I'm waiting until I get my copy in the mail before I make any opinions on it. I'm expecting to enjoy the album, but I doubt I'm going to find myself listening to it much after the initial "fuck yeah new Manilla Road album!" syndrome wears away. I mean, I'd probably rather listen to Crystal Logic, Metal, Open the Gates, The Deluge, or Mystification anyways but occasionally I do like to throw on Voyager, Gates of Fire, Spiral Castle, and Atlantis Rising.
I'm excited regardless. New MR is new MR...
