A pretty good overall speed metal album. There was originially a Mini LP with 5 songs (shown further down) but Walls of Jericho was reissued with these 5 tracks. The album itself has a pretty good production....the guitars come in well.....the drums and everything sound very very good. Kai Hansen's voice is not too great at all but what do you expect for a band's first album and Kai's first actual professional effort? This album has all the great stuff you can expect from Helloween.....awesome aggressive songs....awesome melodies and guitar solos, etc. All in all not an album to start with if you are new to the band but good for die hard fans who know what the band is all about.
