Whenever I bought this album, about a week after it came out, I didn’t really think it was going to be that great, for I thought nothing would be able to compare to my then favorite Hammerfall album, Crimson Thunder. After the first listen I was totally shocked by how good it was. I listened to it a couple more times and realized that it was better than Crimson Thunder.

First of all, Joacim Cans’ vocals on the album are incredible. I personally like them here more then they are on any other Hammerfall release. Instead of screaming in a high-pitched voice all the time (Legacy of Kings), it sounds like he is somewhere in between talking and using his high-pitched scream, which adds very much effect into every song on the album.

There aren’t that many guitar solos on this album, and when there are, they’re not as impressive as the Legacy of Kings days, but all of the riffs are completely perfect and they stick in your head for the next day because you keep on remembering how awesome they are.

There also is not much anything special going on inside of the bass and drum department though, but that hasn’t really ever been Hammerfall’s strong suit so, why start now?

The highlights of the album, in my opinion, are Threshold, The Fire Burns Forever, Natural High, Howlin’ With the ‘Pac, Shadow Empire, Carved In Stone, and Genocide. The song Threshold showcases pure epicness, and proves that Hammerfall still knows what they’re doing. The Fire Burns Forever has a really catchy chorus, and keeps you chanting along the whole time you’re listening to it. Natural High is a combination of great guitar riffs, excellent lyrics, and syncopation. Shadow Empire has sweet riffs, with a very intact verse rhythm. The only problem with Carved In Stone is the happy chorus that kind of reminds you of a Beatles song, but the rest of the song kicks. Genocide is equivalent to Hero’s Return, off of Crimson Thunder. It is a very fast, upbeat song, with a sweet chorus, and contains a lot of double kick.

So I know what you’re thinking right now, “This CD’s new, so it’s not going to be good, because they’re last album was their worst one ever!”, Well that’s not the case here, because Threshold is Chapter V multiplied by five, and just the title track on Threshold, is better than every song on Chapter V.
