Helloween - Gambling With The Devil

i can't wait on tour. this year in December.
wanna see 'em both alive.
4hrs show
Gamma w Helloween

I heard the song Kill It on XM Radio. I was quite impressed with it.

So I picked up the 2CD edition today. Anyone figure out the riddle? I don't want to know the answer, so don't post it. I'm just curious to know if anyone figured it out. I think I understand the riddle, but can't find the answer.

Either way, great album! And the two bonus tracks are killer! Now I hope they put "We Unite" on a future single or something, so I don't have to settle for a downloaded MP3 (I'm not buying another import!).

What is the riddle? Do you have to purchase the cd or is it something from their website?

Originally it was going to just be offered to those who bought the limited edition, but I guess there's some law that prohibits a contest being available only for a select few. So if you go to there website you can "scratch" the numbers (777) and read the riddle.

Looking forward to this one!! The art is growing on me!

The new album is totally awesome! Way better than Keepers 3 and the aweful Rabbit album. This is Helloween in good shape!

I figured out the number even before "scratching" they grey areas on the website (would never think of scratching the paper that came in the CD), but I can't seem to figure out the word.

See The Night, one of the bonus tracks ob the Limited Edition is one of the best songs they have ever released!!!!!

It is without a doubt the album I have planned for my next purchase. I really liked Rabbit Don't Come Easy, so if it is way better than that, then I want it even more (I'll have to order it seeing as none of the places I usually go to seem to carry it). There is no doubt that Helloween is one of my all time favorite bands.

Man, Rabbit gets no love. I think it blows awar The Dark Ride. I'm not why so many people dislike this album. And I still think Keeper III is the best Helloween album to date.

Well, second to next. Sold some CDs to Movie Trading Company (I needed some money) and got more than I expected so I went to Best Buy to see if they finally had it. Should have realized Best Buy would disappoint me, so I got the new Within Temptation CD instead. When I get paid towards the end of this month I will get this one for sure. I have yet to hear a Helloween CD with Deris that has disappointed me yet (keep in mind I never had Master Of The Rings, but I'm sure I'd like it).

I won't say this - I like them both lots! But I agree Rabbit is underrated....very catchy and melodic....

I love the darker side of helloween a la Dark ride and now Gambling. I thought rabbit had a couple of good songs but sounded generic to me. I really like deris as a singer and thought his debut on master of the rings was fantastic...

This album frickin' rules. Just heard it last night and probably tonight as well. I liked Keeper The Legacy but felt it was the weakest of the Deris albums, this more than makes up for it. My favorite is still a tie between Time Of The Oath and Better Than Raw but this is VERY close (beats out Dark Ride and Rabbit, two albums I love). Most definatly the heaviest Helloween album I can recall (heaviest song IMO is The Bells Of The Seven Hells) and more than ever Deris is reminding me of Kai Hansen (especially on Kill It, the high pitched shriek). It was not enough to take Nightwish out of my #1 spot (the only album with the potential to do that would be the new Allen-Lande album) nor The Showdown out of #2 but it is definatly #3 on my list.

I cannot stop wanting to play this album. If I hadn't finalized my list I would be VERY tempted to have this tie with the new Nightwish in first place or with The Showdown in 2nd place. The more I listen the more I like. My favorite songs are As Long As I Fall, I Paint A New World, and Can Do It (I like the the happy power songs and Helloween is the best: Rise & Fall, Lavdate Dominvm, etc.). Eversong is good though and the heaviest is a tie between The Bells Of The Seven Hells and Kill It.

Nothing blows away The Dark Ride, it IS their best!

I said it "blows awar" The Dark Ride. There's a difference.


Anyway, I think The Dark Ride is overrated, but not as overrated as Keeper I and II.

Hoooooly cow! That song "Kill It" is the heaviest thing Helloween has done in a while! Does the rest of the album continue with that kinda pace? Nice to see the SPEED back in the Helloween sound again! KEEPER III was a little too slow moving for me. This song has a "Better Than Raw" style vibe to it. Me like!

I think "Kill It" is the fastest and heaviest song Helloween has ever done, honestly. I can't think of a song that's as heavy. "Push" is close. As for the rest of the album, it's not as fast as "Kill It." I don't think there are any more surpises on the album for a seasoned Helloween fan, but it is a great album.

JUDAS is also a very fast and heavy song. Still, KILL IT must be the heaviest HELLOWEEN song with ANDI DERIS, i agree.
And i like to give this message to all ex-HELLOWEEN fans(the ones that lost their fate in this band):BUY OR DIE!!!!!

I think Escelation 666 is pretty heavy, I know some think the faster and thrashier a song is, that makes it heavy, I do not concur, Sabbath was, and still is, one of the "heaviest" bands on "Earth". .....pun intended!

At the very least, it's their fastest/heaviest song since "Push" (off of BETTER THAN RAW)
