Music reviews of Past In Different Ways
Music Review: Could been better..
Rating: 3 Stars
When i first heard about Mr.Kiske's plan to re-record & release this,i wasnt quite sure what to think.
Im really more into his new style,so why would i want to hear him do this "helloween unplugged" thingy.Its really more about the compositions and not the sounds.I generally think if a song is good it will be good,no matter if its played electric or acoustic..Anway..
The first 3 songs starts off pretty good,but i wish they wouldnt put those trumpet parts in "We Got The Right"..It doesnt do the song any good and it would be much better off with out it..I also feel that these songs are not really stripped down enough..Please slow down...These songs dont need all those riffs..
Track 4 is my all time favorite helloween song and i wasnt sure what to think before i heard it..I generally dont like remakes of already favorites of mine.If its already perfect,why change it?
But after giving it a spin..Oh boy..Major disappointment..
Why?!?!Kiske?Why?
I wish i never heard this.It makes me sad.All the emotional aspects put into the original are gone.The vocals sounds forced and its like the song is played faster as well?Arg..This is not good Mister.. :(
Your turn - is really nice in the verses,the pre-chorus is not,mainly because of the harmony vocals but also because of the lack of power of the band.It actually sound a bit boring..
But the great chorus makes up for it.:)
Some parts of the solo are weak too..But the last part of the song,from the part "The world is crying.." it all sounds nice again.
Kids Of A Century - WOW!This starts off really interesting,on this one Kiske has actually manage to create music of out this rather noisy classic.Also,the way this has been arranged proves that not every note has to be picked like the original to sound good.Like the intro section.Just a few powerful strums are enough.I wish they could have done that on the first 3 tracks as well,as they sound a bit fast and forced..Anyway,back to the song again.Its not the most interesting solo i have heard but the instrumental section is still good. :)
Kiske comes back in again,with powerful vocals.This will be one of my favorites from this album..
In The Night - Is another song that sounds a lot better now than on the original cd,it was never a favorite of mine and even if this is better i dont think this re-arrangement will change anything,but the guitar solo is good. :)
Going Home - Has been turned into a serious rocker.Really cool stuff.The way it kicks off and then slows down and builds up again.Really great!More please.:) The instrumental section is very nice as well,but why all the shredding? Sounds like yngwie was there..I think it would sound better without it.Anyway..Overall great work!
A little time - Not much to say here,its not really my cup of coffee..
When The Sinner - Yes,this is good!Very cool sounds used and the playing and production here is really nice as well.The bass in the verse,super cool!!!Awesome performance by Kiske and his band.
The new song is a really nice composition and its well preformed.The instrumental sections are really beautiful and heart touching.:)
Its really hard for me to rate this album,since im really a big fan.
People should really not compare this to the original helloween albums,but i can understand those who will,since some of these songs really are "classics" from the 80's..We cant really expect people to just forget about them and those times..Its a good album but some of the songs sounded a bit forced,meaning that some of them are played too fast,it also sound like they didnt really enjoy remaking them all..
Its like giving Wagner a ukulele and tell him to preform music from The Ring..
After listening to "Longing" I really wanted to give this album 1 star.But after giving the rest of the songs a few spins i changed my mind.If this song had been left out i would give it 4 stars..But,its possible to skip it using the remote.I think there is something good here for both new and old fans.Im not sure if i would give it a 4 because im a "fan"..I wish i could give it 5,but i landed on a 3 and i think 3 is fair..
