Great album, a little overrated IMO, and most certainly not worth a 9.9

There are amazing tracks, like Halloween and I'm alive, but I wouldn't say that tunes like "Twilight of the gods" are jewels...8.0

Halloween and I'm alive are the two good tracks on here. I guess though they where still experimenting. This album though makes me happened if kurt kobain killed himself before he joined nirvana, what would the metal scene be like with this as a continued influence yet still mainstream enough for talented musician to be more drawn to the genre?

A Tale that Wasn't Right is masterpiece ballad!...I think any metal fan should listen to this album and especially that song. Future World is amazing too ...it took me time to get used to the song Halloween but once i did i couldn't stop singing "Masquerade Masquerade"!!! lool

This is one of the best power metal albums ever released!!! Halloween is the only 10+ minutes song that I like (from all bands I ve heard)..!

Halloween alone gives enough reason to get this album imo. 9.9 does seem rather high. Plenty of GOOD songs, but not enough GREAT songs to warrant such a high rating.

The best Helloween album, after "Walls Of Jericho".

This was a tough album for me to get into (as were the second "Keeper" and "The Legacy") - I've always been a big fan of power metal and I figured I needed to get such an important album at some time, but after my first few listens I was not overly impressed. Fortunately, I stuck with it, and it gets better and better every listen. This is a truly classic album that deserves every bit of a 10/10 rating. If you haven't already, go find a copy of this album, give it a few listens, and find a little time to build up your life.

Opposite for me. I think a few unpleasant Flowermetal tendencies started to point their ugly head on Keeper 2 and it bringst it down a little bit for me.

Well I Want Out is my way into HELLOWEEN becose i find myself and my sorroundings totally in this song..so it dosent mater for me is it flower or power
but Eagle Fly Free,Dr.Stein,March Of Thime,Keeper of the 7 keys and Save Us r imo stronger songs then Halloween and Future World and stronger holdings for hole album if you know what i want to say..:P but that is just my opinion!

"Twilight Of The Gods" became a crowd favourite at live shows? :\ I don't think they've played that song live since 1987!
The album is great, the only problem with it, is it's very short. "Halloween" might just be the best song of Helloween's whole career, and the rest of the album is pretty awesome too. I think I prefer the 2nd album merely because it's longer, but the quality of the material is very similar. Besides, I've always seen the 2 albums as 1 (indeed, the band originally wanted to release the Keepers as a double album, but the record company objected), rather than 2 individual albums. Anyways, this album is a total classic, and was a huge influence on the power metal genre, maybe even more so, than their genre defining first EP and album. xD

There's not really a decrease in musical quality from part 1 to part 2. What I dislike on part 2, mostly, is silly lyrics start to make their apparition. I also think the sound is a bit 'plastic', less alive than part 1. A few vocal parts I dislike here and there too.

Well, Weiki (Michael Weikath) has always had a penchant for writing silly lyrics. Just look at the lyrics of "Reptile" from "Walls Of Jericho", about a reptile who hides in the toilet to ambush its prey. (sample: You need a shit, so you head out for the loo, you're coming to the bog, now what you gonna do?)
I do think part 2 sounds a little bit less raw (and alive as you put it hehe) than part 1. It would have been better if part 2 had been recorded during the same sessions as part 1, like the band originally wanted to do.

I guess that's it, yes. Raw. Part 1 is kinda raw for Powermetal and I like rawness.
It would have been great if both parts had the production of part 1.
