Title: A good albumn despite what they say
Review: OK. Most people destroy this album, saying "it's not Helloween" or stating that it was inspired by commercial reasons (the band's own ambition of making money or fulfilling a contractual obligation). Those complaints have some truth (eventhough the mastermind behind was Michael Kiske, who has since abandoned metal)., but they miss the main point: Chameleon is a GOOD album, with some great, emotional songs, like "Windmill" or the AWESOME closers "I Believe" and "Longing" which alone make the album worthy. Yeah, there's some weird stuff, sometimes succesful ("When the Sinner"), sometimes plain dumb ("revolution"). I'm sure that if another band released this album, many people would find it great. It's not your typical metal album, and certainly not the trademark Helloween style (and not their finest hour) but a correct, sometimes briliant opus. Open your mind and enjoy it..(if you like it, try Michael Kiske's "Instant Clarity", in the same pop-rock vein).
Is the review positive or negative?
