 Rating:  - Great but.....So I recently got into King Diamond. Recently as in 2008! So I am a brand new fan. So I have no real bias towards his work. Everyone told me Abigail was the best and a great place to start. So I bought it.The album is indeed good, but I must say I perfer newer King like The Puppet Master or Give me Your Soul. Abigail is more straight forward 80s classic metal. Where as the newer stuff is almost a gothic metal. It is also much more structured and catchier. Not saying either is better, but if you like things more on the goth metal side, go with new. If you are an old school metal fan, go with old. Rating: - Great Concept Album'Abigail' is a great gothic horror concept album by King Diamond that even got him a praiseworthy review in 'Newsweek' out of all publications. If you haven't heard King Diamond's voice before, you you may want to listen to it first as his voice ranges from very high pitched falsetto to guttural from one bar to the next. If you don't like falsetto voices then you probably won't like King Diamond. As with his works in Mercyful Fate, King Diamond manages to make his voice bearable with excellent musical talent brought by the band and just a well thought out gothic horror story. Great collaboration between lead guitarists Micheal Denner and Andy La Rocque. Very good drums with Mickey D. as well. A great concept album! Rating: - Packing List for EternityFriends, when I die, at an absolute minimum, please pack among my provisions for the journey, the following tracks from this album: [ALL OF THEM.] Rating: - Fantastic second solo album from King Diamond.Abigail is one of the most significant heavy metal albums of the 80's, even though its not as recognised as Mercyful Fate which was King Diamond's previous band it is still considered to be King Diamond's solo masterpiece. King Diamond's theatrical and over the top image is what helps create a dark theme to this album which tells a story of possession and demonic rebirth his high pitched wailing voice sounds like an evil spirit or something. This album is about Abigail Lafey who is this woman thats supposed to enter a haunted mansion, she then gets possessed and then has an exorcism which I thought was a very interesting concept. The song Funeral starts of with a strange atmospheric synthesizer sound which then continues the rest of the dark ...

This was my first KD album I ever bought, and it's my all time favorite album of his. Of course I also own "Fatal Portrait", "Them", "Conspiracy", and "The Puppet Master" which are all great albums, but like I said, "Abigail" is my all time favorite King Diamond album. This is also an incredible and brilliant concept album which tells a great horror story as well. The lyrics on here are just wonderfully written, and of course the musicianship is just incredibly off the hook. Michael Denner (who played in King's other band Mercyful Fate) and Andy La Rocque are just a wonderful duo on the guitars. These guys unleash a neverending barrage of angry shredding riffs and ...
