They are no Rhapsody...Symphony X...or Helloween...but Hammerfall can make some good music at times. This new album, Crimson Thunder, has some hits and misses. I really like the title song....it is the best on this disc...and one of the best songs of the year for me. The riffs and melodies are so good on this one song....it makes the whole CD worth it. Hearts on Fire is pretty decent too....but Crimson Thunder is sooo much better! Get this CD, but be advised there are better bands out there. If you are looking for a good European progressive metal album, try Rhapsody's LEGENDARY TALES. You'll really like that one too!
