After well over a dozen albums, Helloween still has an impressive knack for grafting memorably anthemic choruses over full-throttle power metal. What's more, their quieter, more melodic moments never dissolve into schmaltzy sentimentality (a mistake made too often by the band's many followers); the ballad "Don't Stop Being Crazy" has a certain pathos without being corny. The group's chops are in top form on Rabbit Don't Come Easy (aided by moonlighting Mot�rhead skinsman Mikkey Dee), but the quality of the songs is what leaves the strongest impression. ~ Andy Hinds

CMJ (5/19/03, p.28) - "...RABBIT DON'T COME EASY could pass for vintage Helloween, thanks to vocalist Andi Deris's many high notes and the plentiful Judas Priest-style riffs..."
