Does not reach the predecessor, but still good!

I know Hammerfall since "Chapter V". So since it was rather slower phase. Have the two successor "Threshold" and "Masterpieces" in my collection. I think, to Hammerfall just fits these rather slow rocking kind - and that they really can make with their new album "No Sacrifice, No Victory" once again demonstrated. One more note: I go in assessing the individual title not in depth, but just describe briefly what I like about the song or not.

Here we go with "Any Means Necessary" and equipotent this title bangs on the drum: strong beats and riffs, great choruses, great chorus - perfect introduction. 10/10 points

The following "Life is Now" unfortunately can not fully convincing: The title is simply irrelevant and interchangeable. There is a lack of hardness and the chorus is just plain boring. 6/10 points.

"Punish and Enslave" makes up for it again wholeheartedly: extremely rockier entry, very bombastic chorus, great solo - just pure skin. 10/10 points.

"Legion" is the one of the 3 faster songs. Of course Hammerfall capabilities also speed metal very good. The title begins with a typical Hammerfall growls and then pulls the screw speed significantly. The chorus is very anthemic. With about 6 minutes and the longest track on the disc. 8/10 points.

It follows with "Between Two Worlds" is a classic ballad: An organ intro, a Catchy melody and a great chorus - these are the ingredients of this straightforward songs. 9/10 points.

The by loading a rifle ringing in my opinion the second best song of the CD: "Hallowed Be My Name" is the title. And does everything right. True rock-heavy, great melody and a catchy chorus. Super Song! 10/10 points.

"Something for the Ages" is the obligatory instrumental piece, while the second fast track. Not really special, but worth listening 7/10 points.

It follows in my opinion, the best track on the CD, "No Sacrifice, No Victory". The title track is just pure Hammerfall! Can perform all of the heavy metal fan wants: Great reefs, great melody, maybe a little fall short, but still full marks! 10/10 points.

With "Bring the hammer down" I'll just not warm! Did the title at least 10 times or so belong to - not really my thing. Here, the title begins promisingly, but the chorus is just weak! And it nunmal kommts on with a good song! 6/10 Points

The third fast song is "One of a Kind". Typical Speed ​​Metal without big highlights or notable song passages. Very nice. 7/10 points.

And finally there's "My Sharona" includes almost mandatory Cover: But what a! Here the Hammerfall guys still turn on time and place are vastly over backwards! 9/10 points.

Beautiful close for good, though not perfect CD. On "Chapter V" (my favorite CD) comes "No Sacrifice, No Victory" not ran anyway.
