Chamaleon

This album almost killed Helloween. For me the only song that worths it is "I don't wanna cry no more". I don't know what the hell was the band thinking when doing this album.

I sorta liked this single. Track two is a great humorous song and Oriental Journey is one terrific instrumental. The European version contains an edited version of "When The SInner" instead of Oriental Journey. All single info same as above. This single like all the singles before it are only avaliable in Japan.

Tracks:

1.  When The Sinner (Kiske)                                6:55
2.  I Don't Care You Don't Care (Weikath)          4:01
3.  Oriental Journey (Grapow)                              5:45

Total Running Time: 16:45

I didn't quite like this single. Whats funny about this is the track "Introduction" and the song "Get Me Out Of Here" are both very funny and I do not think the band was taking them really seriously. This single is still avaliable in Japan but out of print elsewhere.

Tracks:

1.  Step Out Of Hell (Grapow)                       4:25
2.  Cut In The Middle (Grosskoph)                3:56
3.  Introduction (Weikath)                              3:54
4.  Get Me Out Of Here (Weikath)                2:50

Total Running Time:  15:09

The best of the 3 singles. "Ain't Got Nothing Better" is a great b-side and Red Socks is a pretty long and bluesy song. This is only in print in Japan for a change.

Tracks:

1.  I Don't Wanna Cry No More (Grapow)                    5:12
2.  Red Socks And The Smell Of Trees (Helloween)     10:48
3.  Ain't Got Nothin Better (Grosskopf)                         4:43

Total Running Time:  20:49
