Everything that King Diamond had done right on "Abigail" is done in excess here. This turns out to be both a good and bad thing, as if you're not a fan of King's vocal genius then this'll be pure shrieking overload. There is, to this day, only one album (this one) that can pull off a chorus of "Ohhh-whoa-oh, it is, time for tea!" effectively. The story here is even better than the last, as possessed Grandma kills off the family (is killed herself) and it gets pinned on King. "Them" is a metal album so the most important aspect here is the guitar performance, and though Denner's riffing is somewhat missed... Laroque's shredding ability had reached "Rust In Peace" levels of virtuosity and substantially highlights this album in KD's discography.
