what a marvelous title to mark the start of wimping out period of genre-defying band!; NO - seriously - this colourful eleven tracker [1991] ain't that tragic as some big mouths try to tag it like, of course it was quite a significant let down for those who loved early speedy Helloween era, but on the other hand it is the same band doing a bit more amusing and non-binding heavy metal, full of trademark qualities with energy still firmly there; vocalist Michael Kiske is responsible for composing half of the tracks, so it is about catchy melody expressed most remarkably than anything else this time; recent European expanded edition comes with a remastered sound and four rare bonuses in form of single B-sides, including Carl Perkins Blue Suede Shoes cover
