Review :
{$Hammerfall}'s grandiose {\heavy metal} posturing only narrowly avoids the type of self-parody exhibited by {$Manowar} (for that matter, the bandmembers' outfits are only slightly less ridiculous than {$Manowar}'s swords-and-loincloths look). But fans of the genre probably won't care -- the band performs its soaring {\power metal} anthems with spirit, dedication, and heroic execution on {^Crimson Thunder}. This is pure classicism here; {$Hammerfall} devotedly adheres to the genre guidelines of '80s {\power metal}, without any attempts toward innovation. Includes an inspired cover version of {$Chastain}'s obscure {&"Angel of Mercy"} and a rather pointless take on {$Kiss}' already overdone {&"Detroit Rock City."} ~ Andy Hinds, All Music Guide
