Incomplete Although Very Good Songs

Review Score:

(8/10)
Helloween has made many albums...and now it's good time to make a collection. This is the best power metal album in the world throough the time. Since their Mini-LP they have made great songs, there is some very good classic albums "Keeper of the Seven Keys pt 1 & 2", "Master of the Rings", and "Time of the Oath". Some are between that "Mini-LP", "Walls of Jericho", "The Dark Ride", and "Better Than Raw". There's also some 'not-so-good' albums "Chameleon" and "Pink Bubbles Go Ape. Of course in addition have to mention "The Best & The Rest and The Rare", live albums and "Metal Jukebox" where is covers from the artist like "ABBA" and "Faith No More".

1. Mr. Torture - a good heavy track from "The Dark Ride" in 2000, very good lyrics. Andy Deris has an excellent voice! 4.5/5

2. I Can - A very good single track, sung by Deris in "Better Than Raw" in 1998 4.25/5

3. Power - From the album "The Time of the Oath" in 1996. A great power metal classic. One of the most famous songs! 4.75/5

4. Where the Rain Grows - "Master of the Rings" in 1994 was a great success, and so is this. True metal by Deris and co. 4.75/5

5. Eagle Fly Free - There was Michael Kiske singing that time. This is quite fast one. Great lyrics! Keeper of the Seven Keys 2 in 1988 5/5

6. Future World - The most popular track from the album "Keeper of the Seven Keys 1" in 1987. There's great rhythm and great lyrics. There' great vocals. 4.75/5

7. Metal Invaders - Hansen sang the songs in the album "Walls of Jericho" in 1986. There's true metal sound. Almost like Judas Priest. 4.25/5

8. Murderer - From the Mini-LP in 1985, not so good one, there's great feeling when we are fighting for metal but still...this should have done better. 3.75/5

9. Starlight - there's at first a man watching TV or something, then comes a great songs about the alcoholishm etc. This is an opening track from the "Helloween Mini-LP". 4.5/5

10. How Many Tears - the last song of "Walls of Jericho". Very long track, quite peaceful. 4/5

11. Ride the Sky - This is a great song, the first track of "Walls of Jericho". I love this song! There's very good vocals! 5/5

12. Halloween - very long track! Over 10 minutes! From the "Keeper... 1" album. There's great lyrics! This ain't a boring song! 4.75/5

13. A Little Time - maybe the first real surprise. This is so basic stuff. From the album "Keeper...1" 2.75/5

14. A Tale That Wasn't Right - again a track from the "Keeper 1". This song is quite good. It is a peaceful but it has great lyrics! 4.75/5

15. I Want Out - Maybe the most famous track sung by Kiske. Once this was in charts! A great track! Good lyrics and full of speed! "Keeper 2" is still my favourite album. 5/5

Disc: 2

1. Keeper of the 7 Keys [Remix] - From the album "Keeper...2", this is very long but has great lyrics. No boring! It is a tale about winning the Devil. It's like 5 songs together, there's som many riffs! 5/5

2. Dr. Stein [Remix] - A great classic! Very good lyrics! "Keeper 2" rules! 5/5

3. Chance - the only track chosen from the album "Pink Bubbles Go Ape" in 1991. The album was a flop, no wonder they have chosen only one track. This is quite good, it has great speed. Kiske sings very good! 3.75/5

4. Windmill - a great ballad from "Chameleon" in 1994. A touching song! The only one from that album! 4.75/5

8. Kings Will Be Kings - very fast song with good lyrics from "Time of the Oath". Deris is very good vocalist! 4.75/5

9. Time of the Oath - very heavy track from "Time of the Oath". Very sad song, very sad lyrics and music. 4.5/5

10. Forever and One - like "In the Middle of the Heartbeat", this is a great ballad. My favourite from the album "Time of the Oath" 5/5

11. Midnight Sun - from the album "Better Than raw" a masterpiece. It's quite slow but heavy. 4.5/5

12. Mr. Ego - a very heavy song from the album "Master of the Rings". It saddens me. Tells about a rich man who is selfish. 4/5

13. Immortal - a great track from the album "The Dark Ride", there's great keyboards and great lyrics. Tonight we are stars, stars, immortal light... 5/5
