I honestly considered buying this album as I thought that the concept sounded interesting and as I really liked the first single and intense ballad "If I were king". It was a true shock to me to see so many negative reviews on that side then, so I decided...

Many people condemned this album already before it eventually came out, before one single note had been published. They thought that almost two decades after the legendary first two parts of the series, the band wouldn't be able to create the same kind...

After a very strong first part of the legendary "Keeper of the seven keys" trilogy, this second part even improves in the first one. There are about fifteen minutes more content than on the first disc, the album is more diversified and the quality of...

This album has become a legend of the entire metal scene and notoriously influenced the later European power metal scene. Even though this record is not Helloween's best and most surprising record, it is a really enjoyable straight forward album with...
