Walls of Jericho (Bonus Tracks Edition)

Excellent album! I like all the 80's Helloween albums including this one, speed metal at its best. I wish all their later albums to be like those.My favorite tracks are: 'Ride the Sky', 'Heavy Metal is the Law' and 'How Many Tears'.This release including also the 'Helloween' EP which is a must have, and 'Judas' another great song from the 'Judas' EP.Highly recommended for all speed, thrash and power metal. A classic album that should desereve to be at any metal collector's house. Enjoy!

A brilliant cd

Another great album by helloween

An almost perfect album. I had this in vinyl near to it's first release and it was one of my most treasured albums. The first 5 tracks here are off of the Helloween ep that was released before this. It was obviously far more viable to release the tracks as a prefix to the longer Walls of Jericho but they are best heard as their own collection really. These first 5 tracks are all good, with 'Starlight' being the stand out.The album proper then starts. Title track and 'Ride the Sky' are classics and usually played together. The latter is a great song with driving guitars and a superb chorus. 'Reptile' is the perfectly hokum follower. It's the film Alligator in song form. Just such a Helloween track. Funny, tongue in cheek but also deadly serious. 'Guardians' is a soaring epic that is infinitely hummable. 'Phantoms...' is another great horror track with another excellent chorus.'Metal Invaders' is a good track but just sounds so heavy metal, almost anthemic. 'Gorgar' is my favourite. In the style of 'Reptile', this behemoth pounds and chugs away through the narrative of a pin-ball game. Awesome. The live 'Heavy Metal...' is good but no cigar. 'How Many Tears' is a perfect closer. It is epic, thoughtful and tuneful.For a first album proper this is almost too good. The succeeding 2 Keeper albums were arguably better and introduced the Helloween sound that would stay but this is where it all began, in a time when metal was really metal and album covers exceeded every expectation. Relive and relish!

I think we love Helloween for their two great albums Walls of Jerico and Keys Keeper I. The rest is much worse and all the way the same. Hansen is great in this album. I am happy to have it on 2-lp with bonus material. Real metal. A must have! Comparable and competable with any heavy metal classic.

Long time ago since I listened to them but it is just as good as I remembered from younger days.

fantastic, true matal music, very energetic and real.

The original Dragonslayer!

El disco llegó un día antes de lo programado, el material del disco es simplemente impecable, si eres fan de Helloween no te puede faltar este súper clásico del power metal

Tiene canciones que no tenía

Geiles Doppelalbum der guten alten Zeit. Kai Hansen 4LIVE

100% good music.

Arrivato intero e intatto.Il primo album degli Helloween, nonostante le influenze JudasPriestiane, si conferma come un ottimo album nonostante la voce di Hansen ancora agli esordi con un canto acerbo ma che ci consegna grande chicche della band quali "Ride the Sky" "Victims of Fate" e "Judas"
