Back In Stock

Manifest Destiny, the Dictators second release, is considered by many to be their best. It is the only one of their albums to make the billboard charts, circa 1977. The group is lead by singer 'Hansome' Dick Manitoba. Producers Sandy Pearlman and Murray Krugman saw the nascent Blue Oyster Cult sound in the Dictators' voice and made Manifest Destiny parallel the early Blue Oyster Cult albums. Thick, sludgy guitars, vocals back in the mix and heavy on the reverb. With songs like 'Science Gone too Far' and their blistering cover of the Stooges' 'Search and Destroy,' they proved they could blast as well as their cbgb contemporaries of the period.
