Manilla Road was a band that i always underestimated and never went thru its discography. thanks to your video i"m now listening to the rest of their album, thanks!
Just came across your channel & totally enjoyed the Manilla Road album ranking. As someone who is just getting into the band this was essential in guiding my choices & enjoyed your great explanation of each album. You now have a new Subscriber from 🇭🇲🤘
Great video! Of course every Manilla Road fan has a different opinion and that's great! I especially liked when you compared the artwork of Courts to Castle Grayskull from He-Man franchise! Cheers from Serbia and Up the Hammers! 🤘🏻⚔️🍻
Cool! Finally some video's done by a normal guy, instead of these terribly animated social media generation americans, that need a lot of attention for some reason. It's about the bands. Keep it up man! My 5 favorites are The Deluge, The Courts of chaos, Mystification, Voyager and Invasion.
Cheers mate, Battlehymns was released in 1982 ;-)... My individual top 5 ranking of MR albums is... 5. The Deluge 4. Open The Gates 3. Mark Of The Beast 2. Metal 1. Crystal Logic ...quiet old-schoolish, but i do like the newer stuff. I met Mark several times in Germany, such a great and gentle person, an incredible loss for the scene, both musicwise and personal...
@@IronHordeMetalTalk yeah, i think that many people even don't know about this album... this full lengh means a lot to me, it combines the progressive, psych freedom of the 70's with the first born steps of traditional Heavy Metal.... both aspects suits me very well :)
Hello iron horde , I'm listening all albums in vinyls of Manilla Road , my selection is different but it's no important because all albums are excellent 👌 just I put more high Atlantis Rising because is resurrection for the band . Thanks you for video . 🤘
My ranking (really tough to make): 1. Open the Gates 2. Voyager 3. Blessed Curse 4. Mystification 5. Deluge 6. Mysterium 7. Crystal Logic 8. Gates of Fire 9. Spiral Castle 10. Playground 11. Kill a King 12. Out of the Abyss 13. Courts of Chaos 14. Invasion / Metal 15. Atlantis Rising Not ranked: Mark of the Beast, CIrcus Maximus.
My top 5 are: 1. Deluge 2. Mystification 3. Open the gates 4. Crystal Logic 5. Circus Maximus I'm not a big fan of the late albums, but Atlantis and Spiral Castles are really good.
Hallo ; Die guten Klassiker Alben die MR rausgebracht haben waren nach der Anlaufzeit von Invasion/Metal die ganzen Alben von 83 - 90 !!! Da haben wir noch die außergewöhnliche Stimme von Mark Shelton die so nasal besonders war !!! Diese Stimme war göttlich. Ich weiß noch wie ich Necropolis/ MR zum ersten Mal hörte und völlig positiv verwirrt war ! Was ich daß ; so eine Stimme gibt es wirklich??? dachte ich nur,und war ab da absoluter MR Fan für immer und ewig. Leider hat Mark nach der 10 Jährigen Auszeit mit MR seine tolle Stimme verloren die doch das wichtigste war. Er sang mit Zusatzsänger der Mark ähnelte , gab sich immer mehr Mühe bei seinem Gitarrenspiel , aber die alte Magie war nicht mehr vorhanden. Es gibt für mich nur 2 Alben nach der 10 Jährigen MR Pause (also ab 2001) die ich gut finde (Atlantis Rising und Spiral Castle). Ich merke ja selber, daß ich eigentlich nie die Sachen der letzten 18/20 Jahre anhören, obwohl ich alles habe. Es muß an der Magie liegen !!! 😊😊😊😊😊 HIer meine Liste von den Klassikern die man kennen sollte !!! Open the Gates Mystification The Deluge Crystal Logic Atlantis Rising The Courts of Chaos Spiral Castle Out of the Abbys Mark of the Beast (dies erst 20 Jahre später veröffentlichte Album , kann man noch gerade hinzunehmen!!!) Liebe Grüße an alle 😂❤❤😂 " Rabe666 "
3 last albums deserve to be higher in the ranking IMHO. I listen to them much more frequently than to Courts of Chaos, Atlantis Rising or the very earyly stuff. Mysterium might be my most played MR album. And yes, you're right, Voyager is THAT good ! \m/
May the Lords of light be with you! 1 - Crystal Logic 2- Mystification 3 - Gates of Fire 4 - Open The Gates 5 - The Deluge 6 - Spiral Castle 7 - Blessed Curse 8 - Atlantis Rising 9 - Voyager 10 - Mark of the Beast 11 - Out of the Abyss 12 - The Courts of Chaos 13 - Mysterium 14 - To Kill a King (underrated IMO) 15 - Metal 16 - Playground of the Damned 17 - Invasion
Thank you,such a killer riff.. My opinion, Hellwell was also Manilla road and especially the last one was a tromendus musical experience. And of course the come back of Randy thrasher

How would you rank the albums from Manilla Road?
My top 3 is exactly like yours!

Good video! I agree that Mystification (along with other albums) have a sort of magical/witchcraft feel.
Manilla Road have a certain uniqueness in that sense. They conveyed an epic feel mixed with that mysticism. Mark Shelton is truly missed!!!
Nice to see the love for Spiral Castle!!
It always amazes me how little attention it generally gets!
Great video! Of course every Manilla Road fan has a different opinion and that's great! I especially liked when you compared the artwork of Courts to Castle Grayskull from He-Man franchise! Cheers from Serbia and Up the Hammers! 🤘🏻⚔️🍻
Hails. Yes always loved the He-man series so the first time I saw that cover art I immediately thought about that.
I knew I would see you here. 🤘
Up the hammers!
Summoning?
Great video! I will be having difficulties in ranking MR albums.
Not an easy task, that's for sure!!!
@@IronHordeMetalTalk, sure ain't.

Interesting you put Metal in second place. Not often it gets given its deserved importance!!🤘🤘

Always appreciate an enthusiastic review/ranking. Where did you buy that shirt?
That was bought from the Keep It True fest. They had put on a show in his honour and made this commemorative shirt.
@@IronHordeMetalTalk Ah that was the 2019 KIT. Actually I was thinking to attend the festival that year but I couldn't go anywhere 2019. Cool shirt!
I have only frequented half or less of these albums so far (with much exploring their work ahead in the future), but I do know we have the same #1.

2. Voyager
3. Blessed Curse
4. Mystification
5. Deluge

Thats quite a high position for Circus Maximus. Not something you see very often!

It´s a pity some of their albums are not available on streaming services like spotify, deezer, etc.... Do you know why some albums are not available?
Most probably it is a label rights issue.
3 last albums deserve to be higher in the ranking IMHO. I listen to them much more frequently than to Courts of Chaos, Atlantis Rising or the very earyly stuff. Mysterium might be my most played MR album.
And yes, you're right, Voyager is THAT good ! \m/

This TV Show was so much fun... I decided to bring some pizza as a present to the host and seemed really surprised :)
Hahaha...a half-eaten...slightly cold pizza :D :D
😀👍👍
Where is mark of the beast
For a moment I thought the shitty stock music was MR! What a relief.
