It actually bothers me a lot that this album is considered not only good but also a classic by a lot of power metal fans. It might have been influent, although I don't really want to believe that, but it sure isn't good. I have never really liked Hammerfall - nowadays they are very good at writing catchy songs even if they're often quite boring, but on 'Glory To The Brave' the attempt to be catchy fails quite hard.

Damn, what was it with this band that had so much power.. this whole album is a bit immature at some points but there is this certain raw emotion that simply is not present on Threshold or Infected. the greatest track imo on this album is the title track, definitely a very emotional song and with the best lyrics they ever wrote. (though this isn't saying much  )
A metal heart is hard to tear apart.

My favorite song is probably "Stone Cold".
I don't listen to this kind of metal nowadays but yes, it's good Powermetal and much better than anything they released in the last decade.

I used to listen to this band while playing computer games. I remember "Stone Cold" came up and it was the first ever Hammerfall song I've heard, and thought it was ridiculous.. "these streets were once my home" was the one lyric that baffled me the most.. so here's a power metal song.. about hobos?

Not much of a Hammerfall fan, but i find "Glory to the Brave" a refreshing and enjoyable Power metal album.
