| Wow!
Unarmed: Best Of 25th Anniversary music CDs I'd read about this coming out but I still got a shock when I heard it. From a personal viewpoint, I wasn’t all that pleased when I saw the track listing, but we all have different favourites. The interest is in how they reworked/rearranged the songs. Across the album you’ll find on different tracks: a 70-piece orchestra; a choir; guest musicians; and even kids! I actually got the cd/dvd version and would recommend that version although it's not necessary unless you're a hard core fan/completist like myself. Personal Highlights: The sound quality – awesome!! The orchestration in particular is crystal-clear. If I Could Fly is a definite highlight with Deris staring here. Future World works really well and includes a surprisingly entertaining short percussion passage. The Keeper’s Trilogy is awesome. Have a listen to the high-intensity orchestration come in after the quiet intro to the ‘King For A thousand Years’ section – unbelievable! - Ala the James Bond ‘Live And Let Die’ type of excitement in the dramatic instrumental part.

Unarmed: Best Of 25th Anniversary songs I was so curious when I read about this release and couldn't wait to hear this "unarmed blasphemy" as it was baptized from the radical Helloween diehards. I am a long time fan and was very positively surprised by the album. It's so different and unexpected, but so very refreshing. Kudos for the idea and the product they have put out for their 25th anniversary. I loved the songs as they show the quality and talent of Helloween members through time. Andi was great even though we all know that Kiske's songs are hard to sing for anyone. This album has opened a wide diapason and it made me think how other Helloween anthems would sound "unarmed" I would welcome other releases of rearranged songs, or as bonus tracks in new albums. With regards to my favorites of the album I will list them below: 1. Where the Rain Grows 2. I want Out 3. Future World.

Unarmed: Best Of 25th Anniversary album They boys tried to do remakes of classics instead of just releasing the original's. At first it sounded like a great idea because I dont buy best of albums. For me the songs are two different and not what this band is about and lets hope not what the future is going to be.

| Wait for the US version if you have to have this.
Sometimes I really wonder what is going through a artist's mind when they release questionable work, and I really wonder here. Compared to the original versions, every song here is laughable. Even after repeated listens, I can't get over how Helloween butchered their own songs. A kids choir singing the intro lead to "I Want Out," a saxaphone in "Dr. Stein," please make it stop. There really isn't anything on here for metal fans, much less power metal fans. If your a huge Helloween fan and have to have everything, then at least wait for the cheaper US version of this.
