This can certainly be said about ║ │ │║ Helloween's reunion featuring the current line-up with ║ │ │║ original singer and guitarist Kai Hansen and iconic singer ║ │ │║ Michael Kiske. The latter had taken some distance from the ║ │ │║ metal scene but when he collaborated with Kai Hansen in the ║ │ │║ wonderful power metal band Unisonic, it suddenly seemed ║ │ │║ possible for them to reconnect with their past. A few ║ │ │║ conversations later, the reunion finally materialized two ║ │ │║ and a half years ago and the septet toured the world. ║ │ │║ United Alive in Madrid is a testament to this successful ║ │ │║ reunion. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ This release is easily one of the best metal live albums ║ │ │║ ever recorded and will certainly stand the test of time as ║ │ │║ milestone in the band's career. The band had quite a few ║ │ │║ challenges when choosing an appropriate set list. The live ║ │ │║ record features songs from the very early years with Kai ║ │ │║ Hansen on vocals such as ''Starlight'', ''Ride the Sky'', ║ │ │║ ''Judas'' and ''Heavy Metal is the Law''. Michael Kiske ║ │ │║ performs some of the band's most iconic classics such as ║ │ │║ ''I'm Alive'', ''A Tale That Wasn't Right'' and ''Eagle Fly ║ │ │║ Free''. Current regular singer Andi Deris offers songs from ║ │ │║ the mid-nineties until the beginning of the current decade, ║ │ │║ featuring songs like ''Perfect Gentleman'', ''Power'' and ║ │ │║ ''Waiting for the Thunder''. Some songs are performed by ║ │ │║ multiple vocalists and work surprisingly well such as the ║ │ │║ magnificent epic opener ''Halloween'' that might be ║ │ │║ presented in its greatest version ever on this output. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Kai Hansen's grounded and energetic vocals, Michael Kiske's ║ │ │║ particularly skilled and high-pitched performance and Andi ║ │ │║ Deris more enchanting and melancholic style complement one ║ │ │║ another perfectly throughout the album. All three singers ║ │ │║ are unique, memorable and good at what they are doing. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ It wouldn't be fair to underline the excellent ║ │ │║ musicianship. The excellent guitar play by Michael Weikath, ║ │ │║ Sascha Gerstner and Kai Hansen varies between gripping ║ │ │║ heavy metal riffs, enthusiastic power metal solos and ║ │ │║ occasional rock balladry with feeling. Markus Grosskopf has ║ │ │║ always been one of the most underrated bass guitar players ║ │ │║ in the metal scene and his style is vibrant, precise and ║ │ │║ dynamic at all times. Even though previous drummers like ║ │ │║ the late Ingo Schwichtenberg or the dynamic Uli Kusch have ║ │ │║ always delivered the goods, current drummer Dani Loble ║ │ │║ might be the best because his dynamic skills haven't slowed ║ │ │║ down in one and a half decades and he performs with the ║ │ │║ boundless energy of musicians that might be half as old as ║ │ │║ he is. Even though his job is physically demanding, he ║ │ │║ never slows down through far over two hours of running ║ │ │║ time. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The production of this live album is also great. The songs ║ │ │║ sound heavier than their respective studio versions. The ║ │ │║ release includes a few minor mistakes that show that the ║ │ │║ final result wasn't too polished or modified which makes ║ │ │║ for an authentic and energetic live atmosphere. The ║ │ │║ enthusiastic crowd is audible at all times and was probably ║ │ │║ well aware that it was part of history in the making. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Along with the regular concert recorded in Madrid that ║ │ │║ lasts two hours and twenty minutes on two discs, this ║ │ │║ release includes a third disc with four additional songs ║ │ │║ recorded elsewhere, including the brand-new collaborative ║ │ │║ effort ''Pumpkins United'' which equals the quality of the ║ │ │║ band's golden years in the late eighties. If you haven't ║ │ │║ listened to the song yet, do yourself a favour and enjoy ║ │ │║ its dynamic live rendition to the fullest. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The only negative element about this release is its price. ║ │ │║ The three discs are sold for about thirty-seven dollars ║ │ │║ plus taxes in Canada which makes for a final price of ║ │ │║ around forty-five dollars. The same package is sold for ║ │ │║ about seventeen Euros in total in Germany which is the ║ │ │║ equivalent of about twenty-five dollars. I understand that ║ │ │║ the release might cost more abroad due to shipping fees and ║ │ │║ importation taxes but a whopping difference of twenty bucks ║ │ │║ is quite a stretch. It's not a surprise that more and more ║ │ │║ people only listen to music on streaming websites if the ║ │ │║ physical versions are offered for such unacceptable prices. ║ │ │║ If you want to save your businesses, lower your prices and ║ │ │║ treat your customers fairly. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ Disc 1/3 │ │ -------- │ │ 1.
