Halfway done streaming this right now and I like what I hear. Few of the tracks already stand out upon first listen. Can't go wrong with some epic power metal with military and war lyrical themes. Definitely picking this up.  |

Everybody's favourite power metal band except mine. I just don't get it. I will follow this thread though, to see if this is something worth picking up  |

| I listened to it last week and thought that it was ok with a couple of great songs. Not an album I'll go and buy, but I probably didn't do is justice on my crappy office speakers either. |

Well, its definitely listenable power metal compared to 90% of the flowery garbage that gets the tag. I have to check this album out a bit more before I can rate it though.

Yeah it is exactly that, listenable, but I don't get the hype, for me they are just....meh, except for a few tracks. This is not Helloween in their prime or Iced Earth or Manilla Road...or even as funny as Dream Evil  |

I'm now into the first three songs and like what I hear so far, a solid Sabaton album...

I'd say they're comparable to Iced Earth, without the history. I don't listen to all that much Iced Earth either.

| I would not even mention them in the same week as Iced Earth, the lack the history as you say AND all the awesome riffs AND a row of very good lead singers AND a stellar guitarist like John Schaefer. No, to be honest I don't get it, but I guess it is the same as with Nevermore. Both are bands I "should" like, they just don't do anything for me :-S |

| I love this album. In contrast to their other albums I just enjoy every single song. Their other albums have their high points as well but to me there was always at least one track I became fed up with after a short time, but on this record everything comes together very well. |

I have really liked all their previous efforts but as you mentioned one or 2 songs on every album wind up annoying me. However the other 80% of the songs on their past albums kick ass, so this is promising then!
