Helloween have been forging a new path for themselves for many years, seemingly cursed in the way that anything with the Helloween name on it will be compared to those influential Keeper... albums, and almost every time the new offering inevitably falls short.

7 Sinners is the third album with the current line-up, and the first since The Dark Ride that has been able to square up to the Keeper... albums and come off looking pretty good. The reputation of those early albums will never be matched again, but Helloween are determined to continually prove their worth as the genre's kings and still as a legitimate and current power metal band.

Helloween are back with their best album definitely at least since The Dark Ride. This is heavier stuff, modern, and certainly catchy without being cheesy. This will be one of the albums of the year for all those concerned.

well after few listening My Sacrifice is still the worse track for me..The smile of the Sun begins like beautifle balad but in the end she is just normal song..nothig like Forewer and one or Light the Universe..You stupid Mankind is strange song..cant say i like her but i dont hate her..:P


Hehee, just shows there's no accounting for taste! I dont really like "Light The Universe". lol I really dislike the female vocals in it, so its a song thats never really grabbed me...

I really love "My Sacrifice" now. It did take about 3 listens to grow on me, but now I really like it. xD

My favs are: Who Is Mr. Madman?, World Of Fantasy, If A Mountain Could Talk, The Sage The Fool The Sinner and I'm Free.
Great album but IMO Gambling is better.

After listening to the whole album several times, I gotta say this is definitely the Helloween I know and love. This one is great, and IMO I would say it is their best stuff since Time of the Oath.

Pretty good album; I've heard better from them (Better than raw and The Dark Ride for example).

favourite songs after a first listen - Where the Sinners Go, Raise the Noise and The Sage, the Fool, The Sinner.

Ive found a sample of "Aiming High" on a couple of sites, I'll post a link in a minute. lol There is also a third extra track from the 7 Sinner's sessions called "Come Rain Or Shine". As yet, it is unreleased, and there is no info about where the track will eventually surface. However, a pumpkin illustration for the track was made along with illustrations for the rest of the tracks. Here is the Come Rain Or Shine pumpkin!

Damn I love this album, it is lightyears better than Gambling with the Devil or Keys - Legacy. It is like the band has finally perfected the "100% pure Helloween extract" syrum and they are taking a bath in it daily. I knew they still had it, but they just weren't using it. Something must have snapped in them recently, fuck I dunno, lol.

My favorite songs so far are Who's Mr. Madman, and You Stupid Mankind, then Long Live the King...

Wow, wow, at the moment it is awesome, songs like "Raise The Noise" and "World Of Fantasy" could be perfectly "instant classic". "Long Live The King" is other song very strong, it is really great. "Are You Metal?" for me is absolutely awesome. I like a lot "Who Is Mr. Madman?" And i love the ballad "The Smile Of The Sun", beautiful.

Exactly!

I thought at last I found the 2 bonus tracks, but for some reason, I cant download them. Something about my "limit being reached". I dont get it...

Great album i find it definitely better than gambling with the devil! I love the most "Who is Mr. Madman" "If a Mountain could talk"... I wonder why is it that Helloween has always big successes with songs involving permanents such as Dr. Mr. or Mrs. i.e. Mr. Torture... Great album, it really surprised me since Gambling with the Devil was a bit disappointing

Gambling with the devil was pretty good imo, but this one is the best since The Dark Ride imo. Finally, a Power Metal album that is rock solid from 2010

Lyrics added. Hopefully someone approves them quickly

The bonus tracks are too good to be bonuses imo

but I guess it feels actually more "bonus" if they are good
