Musically I've enjoyed almost everything Helloween has done, but...unfortunately, I find that I like Deris on vocals less and less as time goes by..... I don't think he's bad, but for me I just really don't enjoy listening to him much..so I don't know if I will get this.

BTW..best Deris album...'Better Than Raw'. IMO..

Definitely the best, or at least my favorite. Can't really go wrong with anything Deris sang on. Well, maybe Unarmed. Haha. I prefer Deris on vocals and think the best Helloween era is the Deris era.

They could write a song about Poop and I'd probably like it.

They already did that. There's an old B-Side called "Sh*t and Lobster."

lol and I do like that song

...and of course, the entire CHAMELEON album may not exactly be about poop, but it certainly IS poop.

my favorite helloween b-side is when they are singing 'I wanna rock and roll all day'

LOL! Yea that interview is funny.

Mine too, tied with The Time Of The Oath.

Just ordered my copy of PINK...

I never wanted to own this album, but was told it's surprisingly entertaining.

Yea I like it. It was my first cd I ever got. its not as bad as everyone says it is. But I even like Chameleon so don't listen to me lol

Seriously, PRD -- if you ever meet the Helloween guys you need to tell them that. They'll probably go "Wow, so YOU'RE the guy who liked Chameleon? We thought you were just a legend!"

LOL! I almost got my chance a few years ago. I met the drummer and I asked where the rest of the band was and he told me at Virgin Records. So I went there to track them down but they already left. I would have though and asked why can't they atleast just play Giants live!? You have to atleats like Giants Freddy.

I wouldn't know. I hated that album so much that I traded it off to my friendly neighborhood used-CD store many years ago now and haven't heard a note of it since.

I like them both, too. Chameleon more. They're definitely oddball albums, with a number of stinkers between them, but there are some really good songs as well.

Anyone expecting metal, though, is going to be sorely disappointed.

Ok here listen

Exactly. Chameleon definetly isn't a metal album. And the only reason why Pink Bubbles doesn't sound so metal is because that piece of crap Chris Tsangeredies (or however you spell it) produced it. If there was one guy who everything he touches turns to crap its totally that guy. Yes I know he did Painkiller and tons of other stuff from Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath etc., and I noticed he did something else too the other day that I didn't know of, he just sucks. He doesn't know what he is doing as far as it comes to recording metal albums. If they would have just stayed with Tommy Hansen for Pink Bubbles I bet that album would have done a lot better and sounded better too. I know Tommy did Chameleon but just look at the quality in the sound. Ok I'm done with my Chris Tsangeridies rant for today.

this album gets all the hate but there are several songs I like on it.

still waiting for Freddy to click that link I posted so he can hear that song again.

(Beaky Buzzard Voice) Noooope nope nope nope nope. Not gonna do it.

Oh come on. You affraid you might like it?

new album cover



It's a little tame compared to the other covers having a lot going on in them. Not crazy about it but who cares really.

I kind of dig it. It's really different from most of the covers. Hopefully all that metal isn't ironic. Haha.

Why is it when I first looked at that cover I thought of the Saw movies? It looks like it should be a poster for one of those.

Love the cover. Pure metal.

I like the cover of the new album. I hope we get a great album. I only had keepers 2, But I am starting to get some helloween. and that chameleon song that Wayne posted, I liked it. So I may hunt down a copy of that album

Like the cover as well. The red is a nice opposite of the metal.
