Apart from sentimentals who claim that older Hammerfall albums are better, I believe this is the Swedes' finest moment. Solid compositions resulting from improvements mainly
in guitars and some excellent mixing and production. A notable difference is that here they don't record the traditional Hammerfall style ballads but instead some slow
tempo/heavy riffing tracks. Recommendations: "Threshold", "The Fire Burns Forever", "Natural High", "Howlin' With The Pack", "Shadow Empire", "Rebel Inside"
