Title: Good album, but not as great as other Helix albums.
Product review: Half Alive is the latest effort from the Canadian rockers, Helix. Fans of earlier Helix may be somewhat disappointed upon first listen. I know I was! But by the second time, the songs grew on me. The "live" portion of the album IS classic Helix. Though, due to the untimely death of guitarist Paul Hackman, the original lineup is not responsible for the live portion, Brian Vollmer's vocals are in top form. For ANYONE who has had the pleasure of seeing Helix live, I recommend this album strictly for that. If you have never heard Helix before, I suggest some of their earlier work. For true fans, though, this is a good listen!!!
