Seems like Vasil de Shumen is a die-hard K.D fanboy. Everytime I clicked K.M's albums I saw his list (Top 200 Metal Masterpieces of All Time).

Not accidental - King Diamond is extremely talented metal musician. All his albums from the 80's ( including Mercyful Fate)are really great ...

Problem is that he isn't a troll, he is dead serious.

No doubt King Diamond's style is unique, such as The Candle, Charon & Helloween are good but the rest of the tracks are just average, especially lurking in the dark is bad that really brought down my rating to this album.

Apparently, my criteria are different from your criteria.

ONe thing everyone learned long ago when Godbuster started posting is that one should never ever listen to anything Godbuster says.
Ffs calling Stioll Life by Opeth post death or Damnation by OPeth post death rock? Making up stuff as he goes along...

There's a post where he calls Accept a "Classic Teutonic Thrash band". Probably one of my favourites. Someone should do a Best Of.

Great debut, but not a masterpiece. The songwriting isn't bad, but the band took a huge leap forward after this, lots of fresh ideas presented here, including a horror concept, were perfected on the next four albums. Considering how awesome stuff came out of those ideas, it's no wonder this album also kicks some serious ass.

A album I would have rated average for a long time. Except for Halloween I found most songs to be nothing special (except for the fantastic guitar leads) but it has grown on me, it's not among their best but solid enough and a good groundwork of what's to come. Charon and Dressed in White are among the better tracks here.
