I absolutely love "Dead Again, and "In The Shadows". I have to be completely honest here, these two releases are some of Mercyful Fates strongest ever....

Don't let the bad reviews on here decide for you. I'm not sure what those other fans were listening to, but I've been a big fan of King Diamond and Mercyful Fate since the "Fatal Portrait", and "Don't Break The Oath" days....

This is pure brilliance as far as I'm concerned. The hooks are awesome, and the guitaring is some of the best, most creepy sounding I've ever heard. H. Sherman and M. Denner together is pure magic, and the songs are crafted very well. The production is excellent as usual...

I think these two releases are the best Mercyful Fate has released since "Mellissa". There is just something about these that keep me coming back for more. It's a very well rounded, and musically incredible CD....

I highly recommend picking both of them up....

Forget about "9" or "Time". "Dead Again" and "Shadows" rule!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Mercyful Fate - 'Dead Again' (Metal Blade), October 4, 2006

Fairly decent 1998 CD release from the Dutch black metal merchants. Still somewhat amazed they even ever reunited awhile back as they have. Better cuts found here are the somewhat humorous "The Lady Who Cries", "Banshee", the heavy-duty "Sucking Your Blood" and the 14-minute title track "Dead Again". Some have said that every member except for Diamond puts in a full-hearted effort in the making of this record. See what you think.Line-up: King Diamond-vocals,Hank Sherman&Mike Weed-guitars,Sharlee D'Angelo-bass and Bjarne T.Holm-drums. Maybe not a classic,but certainly no sleeper either.

2.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the worst KD/MF album..., August 22, 2002

This review is from: Dead Again (Audio CD)

I haven't heard them all, but this one isn't very good. The recording quality is great, the skill of the guitars and drums is pretty good, and King sings like (his) normal, but after listening to this several times I still can't remember any of the tunes. That compares to In the Shadows, Time, or Spiders Lullabye where I can hum several tunes in my sleep. Like one of the other reviews said, its kind of boring and doesn't really grab your attention. Some will like it if they are really into the style, but there are better albums.
