New Helloween - June 2021

New song:

Like this new song better that "Skyfall."

(IMHDO) This band must own stock in erectile dysfunction medication.

The new song didn't too much for me, to be honest.

So far this album is letting me down. I read a bunch of reviews from people who got to go to some listening party and they all seemed to make it out to be the greatest album ever. So far Skyfall is so so, Fear of the Fallen is a little better, and Indestructible is ok. The production is garbage for who was working on it. I can't believe I'm saying this about the greatest band in the world, ever but as of now I'm not feeling this album. I really hope there are better songs. This should be the album everyone was waiting for but so far with the songs that have been released I haven't felt like I did with previous singles from the older albums where I would listen multiple times. I hope I'm proved wrong in a few weeks. I sure bought enough copies of the damn thing haha

I am finding those songs to be somewhat unfocused. Despite several listens, none of them is sticking out so far.

Hope there are better songs in there. Anyways, this might not be a blind purchase, as i will probably listen to it before deciding on buying.

With the amount of praise I keep seeing for this I’m hoping it really ends up being good and these songs finally start clicking with me. I can’t see there not being any good songs but who knows. I’m surprised I still haven’t gotten an advanced copy of it yet for review. Guess I won’t be at this point.

uh oh. I am a little concerned now!

Just picked this up on CD. Thought it was supposed to come out next week but my local record store had it out already. Will listen and let you guys know what I think

I'm really looking forward to it. I just started watching the Rat Salad Review album series in anticipation.

I've pre-ordered but no word yet as to if it's shipped or not.

Cool Thanks for watching. I'm anticipating it I just hope there are better songs.

Got my copy of the new Helloween today, haven't had time to give it a full spin yet but what I've heard sounds promising. I was especially fond of the track "Mass Pollution" off the top.

An FB friend was kind enough to hook me up with MP3s of the overseas bonus tracks, too, so I can get the full experience.

I was unaware that there was a version with bonus tracks. That would be the one I'm most interested in.

I saw a Japanese version, with extra tracks, when placing my order for the album. But it was too expensive for my tight budget, so i skipped it.

Mine has a bonus CD, but it doesn't have all the bonus tracks the Japanese version does.

These are the four bonus tracks I have. Are there others?

Golden Times
Save My Hide
Pumpkins United
We Are Real

Those tracks are good?

Pumpkins United was released to support the live album. It's not new.

Yea, but it's a bonus track on the Japanese edition of the new album as well.

There's a version on Amazon with a bonus CD going for $20.96. I assume that has the 4 bonus tracks included on that second disc.

I ordered a 2CD from Amazon and I think it only has Golden Times and Save My Hide.

I sampled those 2 songs but none of them did much more me. So i ended up going for the standard version.

Still need to check out the other bonus tracks though.
