 "Helloween remain true to their style while incorporating some innovative elements without distorting the traditional sound that made them famous."

 "One cannot shout about a masterpiece, but it is a good album and it is pleasing to hear Helloween still in good shape despite the passage of time."

Helloween's 7 Sinners is their thirteenth studio album, offering a mix of traditional power metal with modern elements and groove. While some tracks feel familiar and predictable, others stand out for their dynamic riffs and vocal performance. The production creates a polished 'Wall of Sound' but slightly lacks the band’s unique edge. Overall, it's a solid but not groundbreaking release showcasing the band's enduring skill. Dive into Helloween’s 7 Sinners to experience classic power metal infused with fresh energy—listen now and judge for yourself!
