Rabbit Don't Come Easy is the tenth studio album by German power metal band Helloween, released in 2003.
Mark Cross was hired for the position before recording, but only managed to complete two tracks ("Don't Stop Being Crazy" and "Listen to the Flies") before being forced to leave due to illness.
"About the album title, bassist Markus Grosskopf explained in 2003 that "It's based on that English saying, pulling a rabbit out of the hat.
Pulling this rabbit [the album] out of this hat [in reference to recent line up changes] wasn't that easy this time.
You have to imagine that this type of music is so packed with frequencies that it is nearly impossible to mix because it is so overloaded and you have to single out all of the instruments so you can hear them all".
