I think it's awsome!

Also it's a double disk.

Im not that excited about this, for me Helloween arent the same without Kai Hansen.

Hope man!! HOPE!!!

I liked Better than Raw - the first album of theirs I liked after Keepers II - so I have hope that they can do another good album.

I've liked every Helloween album I've heard, which is all except the two in the early 90s and the last one.

At the end of the day, what's in a name? This album will not match the quality of Keeper I & II, but if its good I don't care what it's called. They could call it something stupid like, oh say, Rabbit Don't Come Easy and I wouldn't care.

Awesome! A double disc?? Sweet! I thought I read somewhere it was going to have like 9 songs!! This is awesome news! Nice cover, but that cyborg chick looks a little out of place.

I don't care, I've actually like latter day Helloween more than the early stuff. Master Of The Rings, The Time Of The Oath, Better Than Raw...all killer albums. Like everyone, though, I could live without Chameleon and Pink Bubbles Go Ape. What's with that name anyway?? It makes no sense!!

I just recently picked up Roland Grapow's The Four Seasons Of Life...meh...not very good. Just a little FYI.

OK, hold on. Why is this a double disc??? The total running time for both CDs combined is 77:01!! That doesn't make sense. Unless the store dictates that it be split like that, I think it's rather stupid. And 13 songs total between two discs? Unnecessary.

Total Playing Time: 38:45

Hmm... That is Unnecessary. I didn’t even take the time to look, but that's ridiculous. Why not split a single disk with the arraignment of song titles. That would make a little more sense. Now I am going to be fumbling an extra disk while I am driving.

It's probably so they can charge extra money for it, seeing as that they know everyone who liked the first two will want this one.

Of course, I could be wrong.

May I suggest you get a CD player in your ride that plays MP3s and WMAs? I just got one and it's awesome!!! I haven't made a ton of CDs yet, but I've got one with every Devin Townsend solo album, all the SYL albums, both his Ass-Sordid albums, plus some random tracks like "Idom," a few from the Vai album and some covers.

I have every Pro-Pain album on one CD. Every Black Label Society CD and Book Of Shadowns and Pride And Glory! Every Testament album on one CD! Every Brainstorm album on one. Every Clutch album, plus a bunch of rarities on one CD! It's just awesome! I put it in and hit shuffle and I'm all set.

Anyway...

I might look into that when I get my new truck this winter. I can;t afford crap right now b/c I'm saving up for my vacation to Chicago.



Devin Townsend is a musical GOD!!!

I didn't know there was a Keeprers III... :roll:
(Thanks for the info... )
So I didn't listen to it yet...but I'll surely do ! I'm quite curious to know how it sounds like...

Jeff Scott Soto has to be involved in the naming of the tracks. Look at any Talisman/Humanimal/solo album track listing, and you'll know what I mean!

I know there won't be another "The Dark Ride" , but that is my favourite Helloween album.I wasn't very dissapointed with RDCE, so i'm expecting a good album.The song for their single "Mrs God" was good and i liked it, although it was too short.

Is Eyesore in a rap group now?

This is a weird set-up. 77 minutes of music over two discs is just plain odd. Probably it is just to get the extra £2 out of every fan. And will I still buy it like the sucker I am? You bet.

I just heard Mrs. God, I think its frikin awsome.

I like it. There's a couple of bits I'm not keen on - the very start of it had me worried, and the guitar tone just before the slap bass bit reminded me of The Cardigans or some other late 90s pop-rock crap. Still a pretty good song though.

They got Candice Night to play in a song? that's awesome

regardless I'm anticipating this as much as I anticipated OPERATION MINDCRIME II, Something Wicked 2, etc... meh

Yeah! Excellent tune, fucking retarded video!

HELLOWEEN - MRS. GOD (Real Audio)

This band is fucking great!!


You know, I have actually recorded rap songs before? I don't like mainstream hip hop, but I love shit like Run DMC and rap that is different (usually whiteboy rap). I can't stand the mainstream hip hop. Anyway, I've done a few rap tunes just for fun. Hahaha. I'm not very good at it, but it's funny to hear. I did a Halloween song last year for a halloween party, it's called "Halloweeny!" Hahaha...don't make me post it!

I love all the Helloween I've heard, but I'm not overly familiar with their earlier stuff, which I guess is blasphemy.

And isn't the cut off point for a CDs length like 75 minutes? They probably split it up equally so they wouldn't have to put a second disc with just one 2 minute song on it or cut the album up in order to fit it onto one disc. Plus it could have something to do with the seperation of the tracks being that way because of the story or whatever, but I really have no idea.
