Hammerfall - 1
Blind Guardian - 0
Gamma Ray - 1

I'm not a big fan of classic heavy metal like Priest and I can only tolerate Maiden in short bursts, so that pretty much killed Hammerfall for me. It often sounded too "heavy metal" and too generic. Blind Guardian was pretty cool, but why the **** does one album need so many interludes? I think Gamma Ray easily took the cheesecake here. But again, is it a thing with power metal to include copious amounts of interludes?
