High Live (+DVD) - Helloween

Advantages: DVD included in price, great audio/visual quality
Disadvantages: None

...reason I find it unfair to comment on this. Competition in this type of music is high and I feel that Linkin Park make a good job releasing this album when they did. The music industy is a bad business, this album basically shows a greatest hits collection in live format (super idea). Not much of a graphic designer/artist, I don't feel that I can comment on the cover design and inlay much but they are both pretty good. Super value for money. This cost me around £15 for the CD and DVD. Bought this from Virgin Megastores here in the UK. Would recommend this album to anyone interested in this genre of music, live music or just Linkin Park fans.... Read review

Advantages: great vocals and production
Disadvantages: definately not what you expected from these guys, lack of good riffs and solos

...Chameleon by many regarded as the worst Helloween offering to date since with this album the band goes further away from the metal path and continues to go down the softer road they started to travel with their previous album,Pink Bubbles Go Ape. I do not mind a good rock album once in a while and with great musicans such as Helloween and amazing vocalist such as Michael Kiske grabbed my intrest to look closer into this album.

After that track I was eager to the hear the next song. Unfortunately from the second song, the downhill starts. "When The Sinner" sounds boring and uninspring, and i would classify this song as a poor pop... Read review

Advantages: Get to Know Evanescence, Back Stage Footage, Bloopers etc!
Disadvantages: Lack of New Material (if you are an avid fan and already know all the songs)

..., plus a couple of older songs you may not have heard. Favourite parts of the DVD: The behind the scenes footage - this had me lauging for ages, Evanescence are just as silly as we are! Cover of Thoughtless - It's a shame they didn't write this The intro to Bring Me To Life - Amy hits some high notes that sound very eerie The hidden 'easteregg'! On the main menu (when using a DVD player), press left twice and you will see the Evanescence logo appear on one of the thorns. If you are playing it on a computer just keep clicking the thorns until you see it appear. The hidden easteregg is a live performance of Bring Me To Life, performed in a fair ground. I paid £11.99 on Play for this, possibly cheaper on eBay. Well worth the money as every time you watch it you notice something you didn't notice before.... Read review
