Mosr Under Rated The main problem was that they became predictable. This like The Eye is the most under rated Diamond albumm by fans and critics alike. Overall, though, probably the heaviest album Diamond has made before or since. .
atleast it was better than the graveyard
too bad other than the loa house and one down two to go the cd musically is pretty boring. after the crap production of the spiders lullabye and the graveyard it was nice to hear a cd of kings sound good again. during this period of his career i was wondering if mabye roadrunner records knew he was on a decent downhill and thats why they let him go to metal blade. but other tan 2 cool songs and dimebag doing a solo on the annoying song voodoo this cd is a miss. next please.
What a wicked album
I haven't heard all of albums yet but so far I like this one the best. This cd and the story made me feel uncomfortable and uneasy but it was due to the fact I was so into the story and the wicked music. The title track is greatness and LOA House has to be the most incredible song from the King I've heard yet. If you want to listen to King Diamond and don't know where to start, I'd recommend starting here with this great album.
Packing List for Eternity
Friends, when I die, at an absolute minimum, please pack among my provisions for the journey, the following tracks from this album: LOA House, Voodoo.
King Diamond - 'Voodoo' (Metal Blade)
This looks to be his eighth solo outing. Somewhat over-the-top (but, in a good way), 1998 solo release by the notorious King Diamond. Put out around the same time as Mercyful Fate's 'Dead Again', but better. This CD covers some scary subjects like ghosts, witch craft and the afterlife. Tracks that I thought showed that Diamond still has it are "LOA House", the head-banging title cut "Voodoo", "Salem", "Sarah's Night" and the outrageous "If They Only Knew". Also noticed that King Diamond's vocals through out this fourteen track opus is really good. Well done. A definite should-have.
