Manowar, love or hate them but I think every metal fan can agree that they've made some really killer tunes in their days. It was a long time ago I listened to any of their albums so to revisit them was fun but at the same time you notice how inconsistent their albums is and that their image that in the beginning felt tongue in cheek got way out of hand.
