from The armpit of the US
Now I am a huge Helloween fan, and love the keepers era, along with most of the Andi Deris era. I was put off a little by the dark ride for the noticably different sound, which except for mr. torture, all over the nations, track 7(i cannot remember the name right now), and the dark ride, basically sucked. But I am completely confused with this utter mess of a cd. Just a Little Sign is an incredible song with great guitars, melody, drums, and a little keepers era type intro (which was great). But it was a little false advertising in a way because the cd takes a turn for the worst shortly thereafter. I don't see how the rest of this cd is a return to any type of sound, especially not a return to the keepers era sound, that's for sure. It's definitely a new sound to me, most of the songs just lack the speed, melody, and creativeness that I expected from all the hype surrounding this release. It just basically sounds like Helloween was uninspired this time around, I was definitely dissapointed. But that's just me.
