## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great re-packaging of this album
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2006*

This is the last of the Eight remastered Helloween albums.  The album as it stood before was a very solid, hard hitting album that took Helloween into a darker, and more progressive sound that needed to occur for the band to mature, and move in a different musical direction. It stands as an early preview to what "The Dark Ride" was to be.  Starting with the introductory instramental Deliberately Limited Preliminary Prelude In Z, to the last track Midnight Sun, this album is full of hard rock and thrash elements.  Songs like I can and Hey Lord have a catchy anthem type vibe to add into the mix.  For those who bought the album in Europe originally, this contains the US bonus track "A Game We Shouldn't Play".  For other outside Japan who didn't buy the bonus version there, or the single for Hey Lord, this has the tracks Back on the Ground and Moshi Moshi Shiki No Uta (live).  Also a bootleg version of Hey Lord from the single is here to.  Nicely done with new slipcover sleave, and a full 16 page liner book with the continuation/conclusion of the 8 cd booklet interview/travel through time with Helloween members.  Definately should pick this album up if you havn't before.

    Sensational
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2020*

Better Than Raw is a phenomenal album, often with a heavier sound than much of their other albums. Deris is fantastic throughout, and he exhibits a great range from the intense Push to the more relaxed Time. Like Time of the Oath, I don't believe there's a single weak track on this album, and it's a must have for any Helloween fan.

    5 star album - 4.5 stars for presentation
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2018*

This is a 5 star album. I take half star away from the re-issue I got. Unlike other Helloween extended edition albums, this one didn't come with a case cover and the colors on the booklet look rather faint, giving it a somewhat cheaper feeling. Leaving that aside, this is probably the best Helloween album in the Andi Deris era, and one the best in the band's complete catalog. Fast and heavy, while keeping Helloween's trademark sound. Every member gives a top performance in BTR. Every track ranks from "great" to "absolutely awesome". I never understood why this is such an underrated album.
