Helloween - Straight Out Of Hell

Helloween's latest album (released January 2013) is doing extremely well in the charts and the band has once again reached worldwide success but...
Is it really such a good album or the brand name of Helloween is enough to make these sales? To be honest, it is not a bad album but there are indeed many better Helloween albums. Better than the last one "7 Sinners", "Straight Out Of Hell" heads towards a classic power metal approach with songs with fast riffs and complicated melodies. They are all performing greatly but the thing is that in the end you only remember just a couple of songs. Personally the last Helloween album I really liked was "Gambling with the Devil". It is the live shows that make Helloween be a top metal band, they really deserve it but I wish this album was a little better...
 
This is the single "Nabataea" and definitely the best song of the album. The album version is longer and maybe better...
