Third Edguy album in a row that's simply "decent" but nothing spectacular like former albums. I do not think Vain Glory Opera or Theater of Salvation quality, epic-ness, etc. will ever be reached again. Those are brilliant.
Of course, it does somewhat simply come down to a taste thing though. Personally, I just like the bombast of those, versus the more commercial hard-rock style of the last few albums. And 10 years from now, I don't see HC, RR (especially) or this new one getting much play in my cd player.
On a side note, I'm not sure what it is about Hellfire club that possibly warrants a 100 score. That seems absolutely absurd. If that's a 100 (a perfect, flawless album - among the best in history???) then what should VGO and TOS be - 150?
