Title: Not Fate's best, but still better than most!
Review: This CD represents a very solid effort on the part of Mercyful Fate. Without a doubt this is the most straight-forward, hard-driving album the band has ever done. Unfortunately, that straightforwardness takes some of the luster off when compared to the band's earlier efforts. Still, having said that, Fate gets it right where so many other bands get it wrong! If are looking for an album that rocks (and I mean ROCKS! ), look no further. While I prefer the more complex and intricate songs found on the band's earlier efforts, the musicianship on 9 is still excellent and nobody, and I mean nobody, sings like the King! Long live Mercyful Fate!
