one of the best gets better
just when you think how could roadrunner find another way to get me to buy abigail again they did it. with abigail being a metal masterpiece and the remasters giving you a few demos to make it better now the 3rd time is a charm when they throw in a dvd of all 3 of kings videos and a 7 song bootleg concert from the abigail tour which is great to have. just buy this if you love metal.


"THIS MUST BE IT!!!"

this is a must have if you like concept albums or if you are a king diamond fan and with the addition of bonus tracks, videos and a live concert (not great sound or picture quality but it is interesting to watch and not painful like some revier said, it is just a bootleg but you still can see and hear what's going on even though it is not perfect), why not to get it?, oh yeah and did I say it was remastered and sounds amazing?. of the four concept albums that I own (pink floyd's the wall, queensryche's operation mindcrime, dream theater's Scenes from a Memory and this one)wich they all include a story that keeps you listening to the album, I have to say that this one and queensryche's operation mindcrime are the greatest ones I've listen to, I heard this album before, and I loved it, but it wasnt till I actually bought it that I got to understand the story behind "Abigail" and it is great and I wont tell you anything about it cause I dont want to spoil it for you, musically it is amazing, and this remastered version will make it more of an experience since it sounds amazing, king diamond's voice it's pretty haunting sometimes and it matches perfectly with the story's setting.


Diamond Album
I love them both the same. I only own 2 King Diamond albums - Abigail and Them. I just love concept albums with a story - it grabs my attention and makes me listen carefully to find out what is going on! King Diamond's stories are his own original and this guy knows how to make concept albums! I love his voice too! It can be very haunting at times!!.


One of the best concept albums of all time...
His falsetto histrionics are a love it or hate it proposition; I am firmly in the love it camp. Granted, King Diamond is an acquired taste. Of course, that means that my review should be taken with a grain of salt, since King Diamond and Mercyful Fate are two of my favorite bands. Now, back to this album. "Abigail" marks the first, full horror concept piece from King Diamond, and is arguably the best (the two part "Them" and Conspiracy" are also great, and so is "The Eye". . . oh, they're all great). "Abigail" meets the requirement for a great concept album: great, chilling story; strong songwriting; and awesome songs that can stand alone like "Mansion in Darkness", "The Family Ghost", "The 7th Day of July, 1777", and "Black Horsemen". Guitar players have much to enjoy with the work of Michael Denner and Andy LaRocque here. 5 star classic.


Its King Diamond!
I started listening to him with "THEM",by the way "THEM" is the greatest KD album, and I got a really good impression of the artist. Man, say no more, it's King Diamond. If you are a drummer, you are not worthy of Mikkey Dee;If you play guitar you are not worthy of Andy Laroque;and if you sing. . . well. . . Don't expect much of the DVD, it's. . . a Bootleg recorded mor than 15 years ago and I don't think they ever thought of making a video of it, so yeah it's resolution and sound quality is very bad, although fun to see if you've never seen KD live before as I.
King Diamond Rules!!!.
