Album of the Week #49: Manilla Road - Open the Gates (1984) 40th Anniversary
Holy Grail, silver sails
Court of Avalon
Some they learn, some they burn
In the wake of Metalström
What this is:
This is a discussion thread to share thoughts, memories, or first impressions of albums which have lived through the decades. Maybe you first heard this when it came out or are just hearing it now. Even though this album may not be your cup of tea, rest assured there are some really diverse classics and underrated gems on the calendar. Use this time to reacquaint yourself with classic metal records or be for certain you really do not "get" whatever record is being discussed.
These picks usually will not overlap with the r/metal AOTWs.
