![]() The New Yorkers were always flirting with Rock ‘n Roll and their songs had many groovy elements paying tribute to American Rock heritage. Eric Adams sounded at the same time even better and more mature ready to take on the world. ![]() Demaio’s bass, which was always louder than the guitar on previous albums, now had the proper volume as it had found the right balance on the mix leaving room for Ross The Boss to shine. Still many have argued about it as the tracks were radio friendly and also catchy as hell but this is due probably to the much better production -please mark that the LP was also one of the first heavy metal albums to be recorded and mixed entirely on digital equipment (Turbo album, by Judas Priest, was prior to that). ![]() Yes the quest for a commercial success wasn’t anymore a forbidden fruit and as the band managed to stay true and loyal to its principals without changing sound identity and attitude this couldn’t be a problem even for die-hards (naïve lyrics and useless intros included). Their macho heavy metal now was accessible to a wider audience. This is the first album that Manowar released via a major label (the group changed record label to Atlantic Records in 1987). Of course this story was too good to be true and damn hyperbolic but what isn’t hyperbolic in Manowar’s day life all these 40+ years of their existence. Well I believe that anyone can understand how ridiculous this sounds…and in February of 1987 when Fighting the World, the bands fifth album was released this rumor should die with the first spin of the record. ![]() That is based in an older urban legend that says that Manowar had four neighbors that wrote these 4 albums and when they died (probably all of together…) the band couldn’t “steal” no more any great song from them and this why they stopped creating superb albums. This stupid opinion was popular among many metalheads for almost three decades.
