I think this couldn´t be the best heavy metal album of the 2009, but what can we await more from Hammerfall ? Eight points, and a half more due the coversong "My Sharona" - originally performed by power pop band THE KNACK - bestseller in 1979.... an unforgettable song.

I'll second that. Last couple songs on the album are pretty good though.

As a big fan of power metal, i really enjoy this album. It has everything i want. It's even refreshing.
Keep going, Hammerfall ! This one is a strong one.

I think this album is great! the music is really good and the lyrics are more original than in their previous albums. No more templars and steel.... that's a good thing. Also it has incredible songs like Any means necessary, Legion, No sacrifice no victory, Bring the hammer down and One of a kind. 5 excellent songs of 10, that's a great mark.

I don't know, I just don't feel this same this time around... I have always been able to find a killer Hammerfall song with each album, even if the album was mediocre overall. But I just don't like the single they used for their video I truly miss their days of "Legacy Of Kings" or killer tracks like "Blood Bound". I wouldn't rate this album that low, but somewhere in the 7s, but with feigning interest. Love the band, but I'll wait til next time... I wish I could hear what you hear in this disc, the review seems so promising!

Finally a GOOD and honest coment here.
Like you saiod good song songs but the same generic shit as always. So 8.8 is way too high for this. I would say 7.5 max.

I believe this will be one of the best power metal albums of th year. HammerFall has continuously made solid albums and I see this as any different. Great review, and I can't wait to check it out.

Hammerfall for me is like the Taco Bell of music: grade D meat drowned in processed cheese. That doesn't keep me from craving a steak quesadilla now and then though (especially if I can get it for free ).

This is becoming pretty routine for them. I enjoyed the album, particularly the track Legion. Also, for the third time in a row I think the instrumental track was the peak of the album.

Bite your tongue! It's a solid piece of work, but best in 2009? Hopefully not.

Well, there's Rebellion, Primal Fear, Stratovarius, Gamma Ray, Avantasia, Masterplan, Persuader, Revolution Renaissance, maybe Kamelot and Savage Circus ...So no.

I heard only a few samples and songs from this album and it was enough to tell me it's not something I could enjoy. Hammerfall's first 3 albums were good (though nothing original) but after "Renegade" this band became quite boring. "Crimson Thunder" was below average, "Chapter V" and "Threshold" just plain sucked, imo.
This band is way too generic and cheesy. I believe even many people who are really into Powermetal are slowly getting bored of this lack of originality.

This album has been growing on me, sure it's not anything new but who the hell cares. the only killer track imo is Punish and Enslave, the chorus is extremely good. some other good tracks are Between Two Worlds(great ballad, but complete shit compared to Always Will Be or Glory To The Brave) and Hallowed Be My Name.

I really enjoy No Sacrifice, no Victory. It's traditional power metal, if you like that, you'll like this album, I think.

I really enjoy this album! All songs are already familiar to my ears and i'm used to the guitar melodies. Hammerfall is a band that i can always trust, i mean i was never dissapointed with their songs and i can easily listen to them.
The new guitarist is doing a great job and i expect impatiently to see the next steps of the band. They're one of my favourite bands after all
P.S: If only they quit this warcraftish artwork!!! I cherish the artwork of the 3 first albums! Guys ... mr. Sam Didier should at least try to imitate the style of legendary mr. Marschall...if that is ever possible...
Well that's never gonna happen & i do not believe such miracles can happen but you never know!

Legion and any means necesseary are the only songs that reminds me of old hammerfall, the instrumental song were also good...but the rest of the album...just bad riffs and quite boring...7/10 or 6/10!
