Title: "9" IS THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT SINCE "DEAD AGAIN"
Review: Mercyful Fate put out two great albums (Melissa & Oath) and King Diamond put out two (Fatal Portrail & Abigail). These should be in the collection of anybody who likes heavy music. It is because of these albums that I was stupid enough to buy "9." This was a BIG MISTAKE. The band playing on "9" is nothing more than a parody of Mercyful Fate. Where are the great double-guitar solos? Where are the thought-provoking lyrics? Where is the excellent layering? Not here! As far as I am concerned, the band performing on "9" bears no more resemblance to "the original" than Iron Maiden did without Dickenson. I was really disappointed in "Dead Again." But, "9" is even worse. If you want to check out Mercyful Fate, buy "Don't Break The Oath." Skip "9."
