Many people ctritcize this album for not having the same guitar wizardry as other power metal bands do, however Hammerfall does not need to have amazing guitars to write really solid and catchy metal tunes. Songs like "the dragon lies bleeding" and the somewhat overlong "glory to the brave" have everything needed to make a great song, including a good drum beat, satisfactory guitars, and a catchy chorus. What it comes down to, just because this band does not have the same guitar style as every other power metal band does not disqualify them as metal masters.
