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!

I'm not surprised that revelation is in the top 2, but I'm surprised that Hey Lord! made it to the top 2! Very good! Time, is out and it's going into consolations, while we have to decide which will be the winner here. Revelation must win this, so my vote goes to Lord.
