7 Sinners album Product Description

7 Sinners album by Helloween was released Nov 09, 2010 on the Universal Distribution label. Helloween have always shown an interest in numerology, or at least the number seven, specifically, which they've incorporated in no less than three Keeper of the Seven Keys-related studio albums, and now, on their thirteenth career full-length, 7 Sinners (incidentally marking the band's 25th anniversary), they made sure to include precisely 13 songs, except, no doubt, in Japan, where the mandatory bonus track will trump any numerological strategy. So much for that! Anyhoo, the impact of these numerical concerns upon the band's musical output over the years has been pretty close to zero (Crap! There's another number!), since the German power metal icons have only rarely wavered from the subgenre trappings that they first helped define so long ago, and 7 Sinners, for good and ill, isn't about to change that. 7 Sinners CD music This is true even though singer Andi Deris shoulders the bulk of the songwriting load here, rather than founding guitarist Michael Weikath, and so there are numerous seriously infectious, speed-addled head bangers on tap ("Where the Sinners Go," "Long Live the King," "Far in the Future"), alongside several typically cheesy brotherhood anthems ("Are You Metal?," "Raise the Noise" ), the odd, heavy-ass ballad ("The Smile of the Sun"), but not really any major surprises, unless you consider the flute solo on the aforementioned "Raise the Noise" cause for shock. 7 Sinners music CDs However, if there's anything that consistently distinguishes Helloween from most of their countless followers (and it's not "The Sage, the Fool, the Sinner," which sounds like Blind Guardian), it's the band's frequently quirky turn of lyric and sporadic sense of humor, both of which are still very much intact in the likes of "Who Is Mr. 7 Sinners songs Madman," "You Stupid Mankind," and the sounds-funny-but-it's-not "If a Mountain Could Talk" (ask Frank Zappa, c/o "Billy the Mountain"). But the primary takeaway of this review, if you hadn't guessed as much already, is that 7 Sinners is ultimately yet another extremely solid, occasionally fantastic, but pretty much standard Helloween album. Luckily, Helloween's standard efforts still prove far more interesting than the average power metal release, and that should please their fans and keep the band's career chugging right along into their next studio album. And counting. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia Deluxe edition includes bonus tracks.2010 album from the German Power Metal band. Founded in 1984, Helloween are pioneers in their field, and the inventors of German Melodic-Speed-Metal. 7 Sinners is the band's 15th Studio album, and is definitely one of the fastest and hardest albums in the bands history. ...See Full Description

Every Gets Album Heavier and Heavier...
If it ain't broken don't fix it... just crank it up a couple notches of heaviness and let it rip!! It's too bad more original innovative bands don't get better with age.

Eargasm, seriously
I have had to enroll in Eargasm Anonymous after listening to this album. My ears are now deaf to all other sounds unless it has the Helloween imprint within. Be warned. This album my destroy your cd-player since you will play it over and over and over.

German Metal Gods Return To Form
7 Sinners album At long last Helloween is back to doing their strong suit which is in your face rocking speed/power metal. 7 Sinners CD music Helloween last two releases an basically unplugged greatest hits album and a lackluster studio record with only two great tracks on it. However this album is truly a five out of five and every song is killer. Helloween is back just a shame they are basically forgotten about in USA anymore. I luv them and this is their best record in our five years. Buy it now.
