Better Than Raw album Product Description

Better Than Raw album by Helloween was released May 16, 2006 on the Sanctuary label. Never quite in the spotlight yet never quite forgotten, Helloween continued to record over a decade and a half after their debut album. Better Than Raw CD music And to some success, actually. Better Than Raw music CDs Granted, that success was largely limited to Europe and Japan, but it was enough to sustain the group. And, weirdly enough, through sheer existence -- continual touring and recording -- Helloween accomplished something very rare indeed for metal bands in their second decade: they actually began to improve. Better Than Raw songs They never quite managed to hit the peaks of Keeper of the Seven Keys, and the youthful energy of their first albums had long disappeared, but the band continued to refine its sound and push itself into new progressive territory. Better Than Raw is proof of that and arguably their best album of the '90s. There still are silly moments -- if you're not a hardcore fan, the "metal will never die" platitudes of "Falling Higher" will rub you the wrong way -- but the music is layered and unpredictable, ranging from metal anthems to metal ballads to neo-classical metal to neo-black metal. Better Than Raw CD music contains a single disc with 15 songs. ...See Full Description

I enjoy every hearing...
Surely not a classic Helloween album but still a small diamond by my opinion... Heavy enough, melodic enough, power enough, patent enough... it simply has everything. Deris also is just great along with the rest of the group (of course). I would recomment it by all odds....

Dramatic mix of metal growl and old-80's
Handful of Pain is what attracted me to this CD, and is the best part of the CD. Other pieces also convey a good amount of talent in Helloween. Keep it up guys!
