Album Rating: 3.5

It's a temporary homage to Deris' former band.

Album Rating: 3.5

Bumping this to a 4 because it's phenomenal. Fear Of the Fallen is textbook Andi Deris, love it! It's amazing how all 3 singers are able to co-exist and make such an awesome product together. I'm going to go ahead and say that Skyfall is a top 5 Helloween song for me as well.



These krauts hit a grand slam, best since Keepers II hands down.

Album Rating: 4.0

I might do the same thing, like it better every listen. Agree about Fear of the Fallen, Deris' writing style is a little familiar at this point, but I really can't complain when it still works so well.



Don't know about best since Keepers II, maybe Time of the Oath.



Only thing I don't really like about this is the production, but I'm not a fan of Bauerfeind's production in general (Blind Guardian's newer albums also come to mind).

The run from Robot King - Cyanide - Down In The Dumps could've been a little more interesting in my opinion. The song lengths for two of these certainly doesn't help matters either.

Album Rating: 3.5

I love Cyanide, especially the bridge and chorus. Robot King on the other hand is my least favorite. B-Side stuff.

Album Rating: 3.5

Here's my current ranking, or at least close to it as the album as a whole is still sinking in:



Orbit / Skyfall

Out For The Glory

Fear Of The Fallen

Best Time

Mass Pollution

Angels

Rise Without Chains

Indestructible

Cyanide

Robot King

Down In The Dumps



the run from the opener through Indestructible are literally in order for me haha

Album Rating: 3.5

Michael revealed that there was at least one song left over from the recording sessions, a ballad called "Into The Sun", which he believes could have made the album even better.



"I still think we could have used the ballad," he said. "The way they produced it, during the production they changed it so much that in the end he [Andi Deris] didn't like it anymore. They changed the key to a lower key, they used a different kind of instrumentation with a piano and stuff like that. I liked it, but the producers and himself, they were just not so happy with it, so they want to come back next time to the original version and do it the way it was in the beginning. That's the only thing I think the album could use — not killing any songs, just put that extra ballad on there”.



Going on to praise Deris's songwriting ability, he concluded; "'Into The Sun', I think that's the name of it. Great, great song. Really, maybe the best sucker that he has written. He's a great songwriter”.

Album Rating: 3.5

Fear Of the Fallen is fantastic, agreed....

Album Rating: 3.5

Deris at his best.

Have you heard the two bonus songs? They're both cool.

Album Rating: 3.5

Yes, I typically listen on Spotify and they're on there. I will pay closer attention to them, as quite a few on here have praised Golden Times....

Album Rating: 3.5

I also love Save My Hide, it has a nice early-MSG vibe.

Album Rating: 3.5

I will listen to just those a few times through......report will follow



I'm really enjoying this record

Album Rating: 4.0

This just came in on vinyl. Nice quality definitely sounds much more powerful than listening digitally. Plus I got the ultra cool neon blue / red corona swirl which is gorgeous

Album Rating: 3.5

That's awesome.....great grab

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

Golden Times is the best thing on here. I can only think they bumped it to encourage people to buy the bonus tracks edition.
