I got this album as a Christmas gift some years ago. I used to listen to Helloween with my friend and this was the only album we hadn't heard. He paid something equal to 8 dollars (the backside said 30 $m imported from the U.S) which says pretty much about what people think about this album. At first I didn't like it at all because it was not metal enough of course. People seem to look at this album as Helloweens "Risk" or "St. Anger" and they all think it's to much pop/rock and not enough metal. I absolutely disagree, and especially nowadays when I've started to be more open minded with music. In my opinion, Helloween does this kinda music great and much better than most other bands. The daring to do something different - and succeeding (that's what I think) is so unique for power metal bands, Hammerfall for example wouldn't want and wouldn't be able to create something like this.

The album is not all soft and commercial, in fact there are few songs the band is out of their comfort zone. I for one respect that.

Yes, it is not only soft, but also extremely pretentious and superficially experimental. Awful combination. Don't get me wrong, I love Helloween and I try to be respectful to all musicians because I know how hard it is. But when I hear BS - I call it how it is.


Why is it only "superficially experimental"?!
Extremely pretentious?! Hardly.

Yeah, exactly, you didn't know what it's mean too? Okay, I explain, again. But if you only gonna ask how and why - this conversation stops being interesting.

"superficially" - it's when something done on a surface level.
+
"experimental" - when band doing something new for them.
=
weak attempt of creative writing.

"Extremely" - means - very.
+
"pretentious" - when band try to appear as something they aren't.
=
maybe you can hear in this album some strange horns, pop-y melodies, unfitting harmonies? All this artsy, pseudo progy stuff? Well, this is it.

No need to be rude, I was only trying to understand your point of view. My mistake, I won't ask you anything anymore...

In your culture making fun of people with facepalms and constant LOL's it's okay? Whatever, bye.

Well, I never study butt rock history, so... thanks for info, I guess xD
P.S. It's NOT a Power Metal album! >__<

Except it is though. Just a very soft one. Do you not see the genre tag at the top of the page?

No it's not and I don't care what "the genre tag at the top of the page" says. Do you hear about critical thinking? Or I will be claimed rude again?

I wasn't making fun of you or laughing at you, just surprised you had more words of negativity at the album, more descriptions I did not agree with.

I understand why some people dislike this album, it's how they say it sometimes can be bothering I guess.
