    *What do you think of the new Helloween album?*

      A bit disappointed. There are many great tracks, but I don‘t like four out of the eleven tracks which is too much for such a comeback album. The choruses of Angels, Rise without chains, Cyanide and Down in the dumps are just too weak in my opinion. I had liked them to have left those four out and put Pumpkins united, Golden times and We are real in.

      @@Heavymetaleternia I just got my copy of the new Helloween album last night. I have not yet listened to the songs that you mentioned as weak. I have only listened to the first four songs and of course Skyfall and love them big time. The expectations were extremely high since Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske returned. Hopefully I will get to listen to the rest of the album really soon. Skyfall so far is my favorite. It reminds of The Keeper Of The Seven Keys era which I love big time.

    I'm 52yo and love Helloween since the beginning in the 80's. This guy is such a gift for the band! He fits in also so fine. They're all having so much fun on stage, allways smiling and let the things look so easy. A great musician and agreat band!

    As a fan of the band for the last 23 years, I don't understand why people say it's average. It's perfect. It belongs with the other 7 gems they have released (Walls of Jericho, Keeper 1 and 2, Master of the rings, Time of the Oath, Better than Raw and the Dark Ride.)

      ​@@MetalPilgrim I had the opportunity to meet him a few days ago and man, he is amazing! He took pictures of my tattoo (his guitar) and I shared my story with him. He was very thoughtful and deep with his words. I loved every second of those 10 or 20 minutes talking with him. ❤
