That is going to be my next MR purchase. Tim needs to get it in stock again damnit!
I heard Gates of Fire is good too, but if that is similar in style to the new one, I might not like it |

I would make getting The Deluge top priority as well after purchasing Open the Gates.

Manilla Road are awesome. Crystal Logic is great. As others have said, Open the Gates and The Deluge are great too. You're in for some treats.

Gates of Fire is one of my least favorite. Mystification should be in your priority list Mike!

Together with Cage one of the most underrated bands on the U.S metal scene. Manilla Road is plain brilliant.

I don't really like the production on Crystal Logic, which is the only Manilla Road album I've ever heard, but Necropolis and the title track are great songs.

Necropolis might be my favorite Manilla Road song.

The Riddle Master is the best on Crystal Logic imo, but Witches Brew or The Ninth Wave both tops it.

I think The Veils Of Negative Existence might be my favourite off Crystal Logic.

Is that because it seems kinda raw and underproduced? As epic as much of their material is, the sound on most MR albums has that vibe to some extent---even those from the last ten years. Actually, Crystal Logic almost seems more polished than some of the recordings that followed it. |

Well they never really have crystal clear production, there's always a lot of fervor and passion in the heart of their sound.
