Songs like Fight for Freedom could be mistaken for parody songs from Team America: World Police, and the use of 'Dixie' is particularly tactless. 6 years after showcasing an intriguing new sound on Louder Than Hell, Manowar retreated to a disappointingly conventional and lukewarm musical approach on Warriors of the World, an album notable mainly for the fact that the cheesy fantasy swordplay normally associated with Manowar lyrics is substituted with unsubtle cheerleading for the War On Terror - a simplistic position which might have made sense in 2002, even if it is expressed kind of tastelessly, but which in the wake of the debacle of Iraq feels naive and dated. ‘House Of Death,’ ‘Hand Of Doom,’ ‘Warriors Of The World Unite’ and even the ballad ‘Swords Of The Wind’ are all just too good to allow me to say that.
