Very good

Solid record. Not their most memorable record by all means but enjoyable enough for fans of the typical power metal tropes.

Heh, can't get what the people waits from a PM album. This album is really nice, and it's bashed here with a 6.9 But hell! We are in Metalstorm, a site where Power Metal is not well received

For the record, I enjoy Power Metal but when was the last time HammerFall made a very strong memorable album? I enjoyed Dominion but it is nothing compared to their early works - Legacy of Kings, Glory to the Brave, Crimson Thunder etc

The last album I bought from Hammerfall was Crimson Thunder --- I remember it pretty well because I bought it at the same time as Prophet from Luca Turilli, and they can't be compared, tho I enjoyed both --- but almost all the newer songs I heard from Hammerfall didn't do anything for me. I also recall some interview where Hammerfall basically admit they are in music just for the money. While I appreciate the honesty, I still believe in people doing music because they love it. I believe in people doing something for their passion, and if you're good, money will show up. Doing just for money doesn't feel right for me.

As for this one, I haven't bought but I listened at Youtube, the song Dominion I actually liked quite a lot, the rest of the album not really. But I won't cast a vote.

No matter how you try at late age you never will be young and put out that kind records. One killer song what can be all time classic, we make Sweden rock, rest is good record wight few weaker songs

3 or 4 decent songs, rest pretty average.

I would give it a good rating of 7. But I am giving an 8 due to Joacim's majestic vocals and his ability to keep or even improve his voice in the last years. On some songs, his range is really remarkable so kudos to him. The solos are good too but nothing new or groundbreaking. I enjoyed the album but I mist admit, I am even lost between their last few albums because there is nothing that memorable apart from 1 - 2 songs from each.
