I have heard good things about this band but never checked them out.
Their discography is huge, so can you guys reccomend me the albums to start with?

Thier albums are extremely hard to find but if you can get them Heres' the order you should purchase them The Deluge,Crystal Logic, Gates Of Fire (which should be easily available since it was released in 2005) and Mystification.

If you want to check them out and I hestitate to do this considering the poor quality of the sound being streamed there are 3 Manilla Road albums you can check out http://vibrationsofdoom.com/test/mm.html
The sound doesn't do the albums any favours since it comes across a bit sludgy.

And here comes Holy Terror... "OMFG, tr00 methulz MAK3S GUD MUSICS!!!!1!1"

But seriously, they are pretty good. I haven't heard enough to make a recommendation on where to start though.

Crystal Logic is one of the top 3 albums of U.S. epic metal, period! The Deluge is also great, Mystyfication is very good, Open the Gates is too straightforward for my taste but has some thrilling moments (namely the mega imposing "Ninth Wave"). Their later stuff are rather mediocre.

My signature is from the intro of "Open the Gates" btw

Anything they ever released = GOD, YES.

Kansas pride. (Even though it's a gay state, and I don't live there.)

Yeah this band is truly awesome. Crystal Logic is one hell of an album. Necropolis has got to be one of the most awesome songs ever. "In the crypts of atlantean kings, I found what I was looking for"..... Best fucking metal line ever. Also Manilla Road is the only band that could write a song called "Flaming Metal Systems" and not have it be the gayest thing ever, in fact the song is utterly awesome. Their early stuff is far superior, but its nice to see that Manilla Road can still fuckin rock. Sprial Castle was ok, and I hear the latest one was quite excellent.
