I chose 1984 to prove to myself that there is no such thing as a bad year in music. The mid 80s, like the mid 70s is often considered a dry spell. Like the mid 70s, the music world was in between scenes. Post post-punk, hardcore, & New/no Wave and pre-the alternative rock explosion that would begin to roll in the late 80s. And, boy oh boy was I right. 1984 kicks ass. Check out my 1984 chart if you don't believe me. I pretty much LOVE every single album in my top 40. The Cure's most underrated album - The Top - and one of my favors by them since it's so weird and hard hitting- doesn't even surface until the 30s. Crazy good year.
And this here album is one of the many reasons why.

Same, though I think I like Melissa better, but this is still awesome. King Diamond in general is awesome.
edit: So I'm sitting here with my son (he's 4) and he goes "Are you listening to music?" and I said yea and he asked if he could listen. So I let him listen to some of this album and he goes "Oh! I like it. I like this song" so now he's a Mercyful Fate fan I guess. _________________ Progressive Rock

Melissa rules, but I got Don't Break the Oath first right when it came out along with Ride The Lightning so needless to say it is so entrenched in my DNA that I'm pretty sure my little girls are Mercyful Fate fans too! They just don't know it yet. 🤣
