13005i just noticed some little mistakesKostas wrote:3 words:pure,deep,mature(alternatively Helena's absolute zenith)
IKSP: One of the greatest ballads of her career and surely a proof that her collaboration with Sabanis was a turning point for her music style.Deep,strong lyrics with an excellent music.Generally it was so nicely made that let Helena's voice to highlight so greatly.(10/10)
Koita brosta : A very calm and sweet ballad,i liked it from the first listening.As Chris said a very optimistic song and a great atmospheric album track.(8/10)
PGTO:A song that for me was a love from the first sight.I remember i first listen to it and watch the video clip at the period of 2008 Easter.My first reaction was that song would be my top song for ages(and indeed it was)and Helena's style was breathtaking.Her rock image at its very best.(10/10)
Poios:Really nice ballad,a strong one,a song that at last became more popular back to 2012 at her performance at VMA.(9/10)
ASL:The most atmospheric song of her career in my opinion.Great cover,really strong lyrics and as i said before a very atmospheric music that made it really special,i think it could be a really nice single,especially back in the day that songs with a more ''elegant'' style still had a space in Greek music.My second most beloved song of the album after PGTO(10/10).
Mathe prota n'agapas:A song that didn't touch me from the first listening,but time after time really loved it.A nice effort from Helena in the songwriting.(7/10)
IIF:Maybe the ''strongest'' song of the album about its vocals.I really liked the fact that the video clip was from her concert(excellent appearance btw),another song that didn't take the recognition that deserves.(9/10)
Pyrotechnimata:A club anthem,a great approach of her at House music.Very delicate music,poetic and meaningful lyrics and one of her very best video clips.An all time classic song and a true diamont of her discography.
Den that me edo:A ballad in the same mood with the others of that album,good lyrics,atmospheric enough,a nice refrain.Not a single,but surely a remarkable song that worth its position on that album.
Papeles mojados: After ''Why'',the first song of her(until today's ''Otan aggeli klaine'')that approaches a social problem(immigrants).I really love the entrance of the song(chilling enough i think).In some parts was a little noisy indeed,but i really like that it's close enough of that Spanish-Arabic style of music that ''earns'' me,and a collaboration that brought her on the Spanish music things at that summer of 2008.(7/10)
To xeis i den to heis:The most ''playful'' song of that album,but even that,in the mood of the album.It was based on a very well known rythm(the music that plays in the main theme(bridges) of the song is from a very well known club sound but i don't know the name).Really entertaining song,but really qualified at the same time.The highlight,its performance at 'thearto Vraxwn'' in 2008.(8/10)
TFTZ:The song that opened Helena's pop-rock era from 2007-2010 and completely changes Helena's image.I ''fell in love'' with that song and it was the reason that i became from a casual fan that i used to be the previous(before 2007)years to a loyal fan,so that song always will be always special for me.A breathtaking video clip with Helena as an Afrodite emerge from the see and a really strong pop-rock song that it is successful until today.(10/10)
General rating for the album:(9/10)
Some words about the album: As i wrote before,for me that album means the Helena's artistic zenith and her most mature work at her career until today.It was a period that she turned from a really entertaining and good popstar and a show-woman into something more substantial:a great performer and a more mature artist.She gave some facts about her turning into 2007 with ''Mazi sou'' and ''Dipla mou na se'',that songs was the foreword of her new era,the most successful and qualified of her carrier in my opinion.The most important is that this album creates many more Helena's fan that aren't from the close pop music,but even people that wanted a more specific sound.In that era nobody can really
controvert her.Unfortunately,as i was afraid back in the day that this album was released,it was really difficult to continue and the following years at this really high level and as a result,especially from 2010 and after,some contoversial music(and not only)choices and of course some personal really bad moments changed her image at many people. Personally i believe that in the current period that it seems that she left behind her all the problems of the past(in a period that had some really good moments and some very bad too) ,that album could be her guide about how much she can achieve if she adopt again a more solid style and if she works in the professional and serious way she did then.

You didnt rate "Pirotehnimata" and "De Tha Me Edo" , and you also forgot to include "Mi Mou Milas Gia Antio" in your review.
