I'm sorry, am I missing something? I can't believe all of the good reviews this album is getting. I'm a huge Helloween fan, I even think that Chameleon is one of their better albums so I'm not one of the ones who thinks anything after the Keeper albums is bad. But this album in my opinion is downright horrible. Put a fork in 'em, they're done! This is a huge step down from The Dark Ride. Half of this album is spent repeating cheesy choruses. Never Be A Star has to be the worst Helloween song I've ever heard. The only good song on this album is The Tune, which really is like old Helloween. Other than that, it sounds like corny pop music. I don't know how people are comparing it to their older stuff. To anyone out there who isn't familiar with post-Michael Kiske Helloween, pick up Time Of The Oath. Other than The Tune, there isn't a single song on this album that would have made it onto the Oath record. Helloween, make room for Gamma Ray and Primal Fear - they were gaining on you quick, and have now left you in their dust.
