The second HammerFall album was slicker than the debut release and more concise, by this time they had become one of the biggest bands on the European power metal scene and along with fellow Scandanavians Stratovarius they were matching the German power metal bands in terms of popularity. As I said on their first album review, this band is a 'celebration of metal' they never took it to an extreme like Manowar but classic metal was in this band's blood. On this album there are some classic power metal tunes, along with some great power ballads. If you're into power metal, then you need this band in your collection.
