I've heard this before.

Review Score: (2/10)
When are all these German, Swedish, and Finnish Power metal outfits going to realize that they are not "the future of great metal" as another reviewer kindly put it. This is not progression. This is a band who is stuck in an eighties time warp. By releasing albums like this, Hammerfall is basically setting Metal back at least fifteen years. This is a trip down memory lane. I never liked Power metal (except for Blind guardian) and this is no exception. Every aspect of this album is mediocre at best. It comes complete with clean and safe operatic singing, repetitive double bass drumming, cheesy lyrics, and band members dressed up as knights. If this is the future of "real" Metal (whatever that means), then I'll stick to my so called "false" Swedish Death metal bands like Arch enemy, Amon amarth, The forsaken, and The haunted. THAT'S the future of Metal. Later.
