Pink Bubbles Go Ape
Helloween started to fall into decadence with this album. The production suffered on this since Tommy Hansen did not produce it and Chris Tsangarides did. There are only a few songs that can be rescueablle from this album, such as Kids of the Century or The Chance. Roland Grapow entered the band and did very well though.If you're new to Helloween DO NOT start off with this album.

This single is the Japanese version. The interview
is basicially the band talking about what happened over the last two years
and
that they're around, and well just shit like
that:) The cover of Blue Suede Shoes is very lets say interesting. I always
wondered
what the hell is up with the sunny side up eggs
over those dude's eyes.

I kinda liked this single. Les Hamburgeouis Walkways is a nice bluesy instrumental by Weikath, and You Run With The Pack is some interesting.
