Love 'em or hate 'em, Hammerfall is here to stay and they've got an army! This is an awesome live album, with rich sound quality, a strong range of tracks, and a very excited audience! Even though Joacim is speaking in swedish, you can't help but feel pumped about what he's saying. "Riders of the Storm" has a nice extended teaser intro and rolls smashingly into "Heeding the Call." Personally I'm most fond of this album's version of "Stone Cold" if only for the crowd's blood pumping enthusiam and it's fan service encore. There isn't a bad thing about this album really. It's the same price as a normal album, but with two cd's, a great range of music, some really power house performances, and sound quality that doesn't suck. Hammerfall is consistent, potent, power charged, heavy metal, and whether you go in for their over the top nature or not, they are at the forefront of a heavy metal crusade of the ages. LET THE HAMMER FALL!!!!!!!!
