As well as for the Infected album, Peter, move this or delete and make your own poll in the right place. For now, what do you think of the music video for One More Time?

My vote goes for 2p-bad...

Mine too. It's an amusing video, but the song... awful

If you ask me, the song is better than the video... I mean it's fun to see it all, but it's definitely nothing professional, I could make better zombies than these!

3p..

The zombies are real fans, right? Videos with real fans are great. It's not the best video but it's also not their worst video

if you ask me everything connected with HammerFall is great ^^ for god's sake, i am their fan, not a critic and yeah, the video AND the song rocks (:

Haha, I wonder whose is this one vote on "very good".
You know what, infected one? This "I am their fan, not a critic"... Oscar would be VERY proud of you. He always complains about fans who criticize their work.
If you ask me, (reasonable and calm) criticizing is just an act of great appreciation. To criticize, you must know a great deal about the band and whole their work, and you won't know it if you're not a great fan!

Well critics are good for musicians. For example, if Metallica would've listened to their critics a bit better, they wouldn't have released a musical abortion like Lulu.

Of course, there's positive and negative critics. Both kind of critics are only interesting for a band if they're well foundated. For example, I can say that I find One More Time a boring song, because it's an unoriginal brand of music that HF plays (which certainly isn't a bad thing), and this kind of music needs a bit more variation in their songs than this one. That's why I find it boring. And as I said more often, there are lots of interesting songs on the new album, but this one just doesn't belong to that group.

hm thanks. i love Oscar and it's my vote i know whole their work, don't worry but it's all great ^^

If there were no critics, there would be no fans, I guess... Fans of different bands are specified by things they like. HammerFall fans like them because of their own work, their style from the beginning. And it's natural that they don't like changes: they love a band for what they were most of their time. If they want to change a style, they must compromise, so old fans would like and new would come. That's what they need critics for, otherwise they'd be nowhere, and wouldn't know what people like and what not. They can speak of "working exclusively for themselves", but it's fans they need that music for, really. It's a business, not only fun.
