BRILLIANT again.

Uh, how many times did this happen? [!--emo&:huh:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/huh.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'huh.gif\' /][!--endemo--] Wouldn't it have to have happened at least twice to count as a "tendency." No? (Am I nitpicking?)

What does this mean?

Anyway, I think that Mrs. God is comparable to Dr. Stein or Future World.
There is an interesting interview of Helloween in Terrorizer magazine (the power metal issue) which may answer many questions and even enlighten you on the bands viewpoint of their current standing and progression throughout the years. Additionally, they acknowledge a few of the statements made by others (Kai) that contested or even questioned the rumors of Helloween's intention of releasing a final part of The Keeper.

I'm starting to think you don't really read what I write.... it has happened all their career, which is more than once, which clearly makes it a tendancy. Well, I shouldn't say clearly because it is only my opinion. So I should rephrase it and say that IT IS MY OPINION that Keepers one and two is great work as is Better Than Raw and Keeper: The Legacy. Everything in between those works is either good, ok or sucks ass, making it a tendancy to have great work followed by ok or crappy stuff and then great work again...
 
I didn't really want to revive a dead thread, but I also didn't want to create a new one to discuss a band if a thread for that band already exists. I just listened to Helloween's The Best, The Rest, The Rare and as I've been listening to alot of Edguy recently and have been told that they're a clone of Helloween, I was quite eager to hear some of their material. And I was rather disappointed. That's not to say I don't think they have good songs, but they really did not live up to my expectations (I really think some of it has to do with the vocals). While I can see where Edguy has some of their influence from, I think that Edguy are unique enough and are in fact, better, than Helloween. Probably I'll get a thread going on Edguy in the near future.
 
This is imo indeed the wrong thread to update.

There's another Helloween topic -together with Gamma Ray-, used more often lately. It also features album polls.

Let's continue there (I replied there) or start an(other) Edguy topic. :)
