All of King Diamonds best albums are on Roadrunner. Out of his Metal Blade releases The Puppet Master is the best one. Give me your soul ....please is better than alot of the albums on this list though.
Why do people like Fates' "Awaken The Guardian" better than "The Spectre Within"?
That list says a lot about Slagel/Metal Blade... 3rd rate label; got lucky a couple of times but so much crap came out of there in the 80's. Somebody do a Combat list!

Yeah, it's basically just those two and Abigail II that were on Metal Blade...I thought at first House of God was (And I would definitely rate that above the Puppet Master), but then I remembered it was still on Massacre, although I think Metal Blade reissued it or something.

The graveyard was very underated, as was Voodoo I loved them both. Actually, I love all of his releases. Abigail 2 was amazing, and yeah I'll agree Puppet Master was so great. I hates GYSP though, very rehash. House Of God was a pretty good record as well. I dont know, he has been on metal blade for a good what 15 years? It's half his career! Time was a fabulous MF record and In The Shadows was an instant classic too.
BTW, I think KD did way better with his later albums than Slayer, so saying his best stuff is behind him versus Slayer isn't really a point worth discussing.
