Keeper Pt.1" was the first HELLOWEEN-album with Michael Kiske on the vocal helm. The first two earlier releases the self-titled EP in 1985 and "Walls of Jericho" in 1986 were a style resulted form a combination between Metallica and Iron Maiden but it's on this album that their songwriting appears to be progressed and matured, and they take an important step in their musical career and with this album they bring a new genre to the metal scene: POWER METAL.

And I have to say the extended version of Victim of Fate on this album is absolutely stunning!

No such song exists on my original pressing of this fine, fine album.

Superior in every way imaginable from the intolerable shitfest that is Part II.

I'm lucky enough to have the extended version, this is proberbly my favourte Helloween album (so far), slightly ahead of Walls Of Jericho. I will eventually listen to part 2 in full.

And better than part II imo, though there is a divided opinion in that one.

Groundbreaking album for the european power metal. I've never liked Twilight of the Gods or A Tale That Wasn't Right and with that we're only left with four actual tracks. Those four on the other hand are all classics.

I like Twilight of the Gods. Nothing wrong with it.

A Tale That Wasn't Right is rather cheesy, inoffensive ballad. Nothing cringy though.

None of those are crinqy but A Tale That Wasn't Right is one of those ballads that just seems to be there without a purpose. I can't pinpoint anything wrong with Twilight of the Gods but for some reason it never stuck with me and I often skip it when listening to the record. Haven't changed throughout the years.
