This is just wrong. Helloween tore down their own legacy by putting out this album. I get their sense of humor but this one, Unarmed, is way over the line. They have crossed the line that shouldn;t have crossed. All the good thing/feeling built in these Helloween classics have been swiped away. "Dr. Stein" is OK as the original has its own humour, as well as "Perfect Gentleman". But bad choice with "If I Could Fly" or "Where The Rain Grows". "The Keeper's Trilogy" is an epic song combining their three previous epics but this one seem to be out of place -- as it is the only "serious" track on this release. Better wait for their new studio album later in the year!

Sorry, but i don't share your opinion. I don't think that this is "just" wrong. I'm a long-time Helloween fan, and to hear a mature, refined remix, it's just great. The songs are nicely crafted, and well played by great musicians. If you are a long-time fan, or you want to listen to the great Helloween songs, on a date or dinner with your girlfriend, pop this album, and both of you are charmed.
