Tobias Sammet - sorry, I mean Edguy - continue with this album, which again shows the man's knack of catchy songs, even if it can't match the quality of the band's previous MANDRAKE. The flying "We Don't Need A Hero" has them at their best, and there are other good moments throughout, although "Lavatory Love Machine", about Sammet making love to an airline stewardess while their plane is crashing, is not one of them. It's not clear what some of the other lyrics are about, but references to "Hellfire" and Lucifer don't exactly inspire fear.
Edguy albums can't help but be entertaining, and Hellfire Club certainly is, but it's not quite their best work.
***1/2
