Helloween, it brings back memories of my teenage room, with Iron Maiden posters over the walls, and a casette deck blasting of in the background. There was a lot of commotion when this was released...it sounded kinda like Iron Maiden....and then again not. This is what I would consider "classic metal" alot of guitar solos, and fast lyrics. This is definately Helloweens best release ever(along with Keeper of the Seven Keys part 2). It sounds much better than the murkysounding Walls of Jericho, and supercedes many many times the lousy Pink Bubbles go Ape. On Keeper of the Seven Keys part 1, the crisp, fast guitars and the "adventure/sci-fi lyrics", everything on this album is like it is supposed to be, to bring you back to that 80's Metal nostalgia. Followed by an equally masterful Part 2.
