One of the best heavy/power metal albums I've heard in quite a while. Enjoyable concept (about the life of the Swedish king Charles XII), solid musical performances and excellent songwriting. "Carolus Rex" is the best power metal release of 2012 so far and a serious contender for metal album of the year. The Swedish version is definitely more interesting.

I have way too much fun with this album. Really, everything jsut needed to be good enough so that I can wait for songs like Lion From the North, 1648, and Carolus Rex, which make up for anything that other songs lack.

Their most accomplished and inspired release. Even Sabaton haters might find this album somewhat agreeable at times.

Sabaton is one of the most consistent power metal bands around. Carolus Rex is another solid and powerful album from the Swedish battalion, this time dedicated to the history of the Swedish Empire. Excellent songwriting as always with lots of interesting songs. Recommendations: "Carolus Rex", "1648", "The Lion From The North", "Poltava"

This is propably the only Sabaton album which doesn't bore me after few tracks. Would reccomend to all power metal fans that seek something a bit different.

Although there is a lack of the WWII-based lyrics that Sabaton do best, this could easily qualify for Sabaton's strongest album musically.

I thought it was swedish version. This english is not so good. In fact it is just ok.
