5.0 out of 5 stars Helix - 'Half Alive' (D-Rock), January 21, 2005

This review is from: Half Alive (Audio CD)

Greatly under appreciated meat-and-potato Canadian rock and roll band.I've always totally dug this band.'Half Alive' is about a half-a-dozen new/er studio cuts along with mostly live tracks.Believe me,Helix is a great band to experience in concert.Most of the live songs come from the group's 1983's 'No Rest For The Wicked' and 1984's 'Walkin' The Razor's Edge' lp's.Just about every tune here rocks out,but the most memorable ones are "Shock City Psycho Rock","Dirty Dog","Running Wild In The 21st Century"(still see this video on Headbanger's Ball sometimes),"Heavy Metal Love",their cover of Steppenwolf's "The Pusher" and their metal anthem "Rock You".Line-up:Brian Vollmer-vocals,Dr.Doener-guitar,Daryl Gray-bass and Greg Hinz-drums.A must-have for all Helix fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good album, but not as great as other Helix albums., August 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Half Alive (Audio CD)

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!!!
