"An absolutely bonkers metal album. The German group Helloween give us an extremely enjoyable record with spectacularly over the top performances.

"Heard what I thought was the full original album, turned out it was a special edition with extra tracks so I found it rather repetitive. Will edit my rating when I get round to listening to the actual tracklist! Stuck between The Smiths and The Stone Roses." Reply

"Very enjoyable. Volume one is easily the best. The other two become a bit of a drag, and the whole lot taken in one go is a real slog. Still, some wonderful moments here and there. All in all, Zappa never fails to amaze." Reply

And this album is mostly no exception. First 8 tracks are good, and 10 is decent too. But "Born to be Wild" is no..." [+] Reply

"Great CD. Getting Ry Cooder to play along was genius. Hard to single out songs 'cuz the whole record is strong. But I think "Memphis" and "Lipstick" are faves." Reply
