It took me a while to get into King's vocals, but once I did, I was hooked! I feel they add to the general creepiness of the music. Plus, he still sounds fuckin amazing at his age!

i love his vocals also, my problem is generally with inconsistent songwriting. there are enough amazing highs for that not to be a dealbreaker though, especially on DBTO. i never really understood why so many people prefer MELISSA to DBTO.

I love his last couple of solo releases, especially Puppet Master. The only solo albums I have issues with are Graveyard, Voodoo and maybe The Eye. As for Fate, not a huge fan of Dead Again or Into the Unknown. I also saw that recent Abigail tour (w/Exodus) and he was amazing!

Holy fucking shit, ozz, we actually might agree on soemething there with the MF. I'm sure the other stuff is quite good and enjoyable and I definitely should check em out, but Melissa and DBTO are so fucking good it's like, why bother?

I don't understand this mentality, especially when it comes from people like us who tend to worship bands not really interested in pushing the boundaries of metal. At this point, why bother listening after the second wave of doom metal bands?

Spiral Castle is one of the best Manilla Road albums ever in my opinion, so I'm interested to test the truth of your opinion soon, when I listen back to the post-Don't Break the Oath material.
My gut feeling is I won't agree.

I suppose I should try to listen to Spiral Castle again because I don't remember it being specifically special.
To be honest though I feel that way about all Manilla Road after 1987. It's good enough but I don't seem to retain it or want to revisit much. I like it okay but I don't NEED it.

I think some of Manilla Road's newer material is great, like Spiral Castle and Gates of Fire (both are better than most albums after Open the Gates) but you hardly need all their newer stuff imo (even though i've got alot of it myself) much is just more of the same but less memorable).

I'd say that when I listen to MR 75% of the time it's to put on Crystal Logic, Open the Gates, Mystification, or The Deluge. The other 25% is reserved for their earliest material, random classics from their pre-reunion stuff, and then their newer stuff.
And when I say "why bother" it's not that I'm opposed to listening to them or anything, but I'm not going to go out of my way to purchase a copy of "9" or something but if I see it cheap at a used store or something I'll snag it.
