HELLOWEEN Survivor 2017 - Better Than Raw - round 7

[The Silent Cody]

BETTER THAN RAW

Better Than Raw is the eighth studio album by Helloween, released in 1998.

I bought this one somewhere around 1999 on a cassette didn't know what I'm buying actually because I wasn't familiar with new Helloween releases yet. It was those days in which, when I saw something from Helloween I was buying it staright away. And Better Then Raw was one of these things. Then I realized that this was a new Helloween album. When Push comes in, I was scared... Sounding, those harsh vocals, strange melody, dark and so different from that what I've heard so far from Helloween. And I have to say that Better Than raw was my fourth Helloween album that I've heard after Walls Of Jericho, Chameleon and Pink Bubbles Go Ape So it was a schocker Anyway I totally loved it again, ecery song is great, even intro is IMO their best intro ever! Let's vote!

Andi Deris - vocals
Roland Grapow – guitar
Michael Weikath – guitar
Markus Grosskopf – bass
Uli Kusch – drums

These songs are all amazing but I'm leaning towards Handful of Pain

Handful of pain

Yeah, time for hard choices, I'll go with A Handful of Pain.

It was nice to hear it live a couple of tours ago. They added a nice and catchy touch, completely stopping the song after the chorus and then restarting with the second verse, just a split second of a pause that made it cooler.
