Helloween continues making good albums. This album is one step better than "Better Than Raw" but not so great classic as "Master of the Rings" or "Time of the Oath". Still, a perfect album.1. Beyond the Portal (Intro) - a very good intro for the album. 4.5/5 2. Mr. Torture - great lyrics, one of the heaviest songs ever that Helloween has made 4.75/5 3. All Over the Nations - great vocals but the music is so basic stuff. 3.5/5 4. Escalation 666 - quite satanic lyrics. There's very good lyrics and riffs! 4.5/5 5. Mirror, Mirror - quite heavy track! There's interesting lyrics! Musically almost like "Mr. Torture". 4/5 6. If I Could Fly - a great single track with good vocals and excellent keyboards. One of the greatest track Helloween has made! 5/5 7. Salvation - good vocals again and so are the lyrics. 4.5/5 8. Departed (Sun Is Going Down) - there's very heavy drums and guitars. The lyrics are quite satanic. 4.75/5 9. I Live for Your Pain - very heavy lyrics! There's good speed in the track! 4.25/5 10. We Da*n the Night - Quite fast track! Continues the series of the dark tracks. 4.5/5 11. Immortal (Stars) - very good keyboards! There's great lyrics! Tonight we are stars, stars, immortal light...!!! 5/5 12. The Dark Ride - almost 9 minutes. There's some great moments. The lyrics are very dark. 4.25/5
