Negative Positive
Title: Split
Review: I'm a Helloween fan, and I like this album a lot. The first doesn't lead to the second, though. If I were to consider this album among the Helloween work, I'd rank it low. It's a really well done hard rock album, though, and for that I can appreciate it. The only real link to early Helloween is that this seems to be a showcase of Michael Kiske's voice, backed by a hard rock soundtrack. There's little to appease the Helloween fan who was in it for the chunky, staccato elements of the Keepers albums, but all of the melody is here. This is a good album, but if you're expecting Keeper 3, you'll be disappointed. If you want great vocals in a good hard rock setting, you'll like this.
