I'm sure you knew thus was coming but i'm going to have to completely disagree. If they came out niw they would be far superior to anything else, including everything Hellween as done to date. Those albums had an energy and spirit that todays acts dnt even come c,ose to.
No way. A couple of great songs, some good songs, a couple shit songs ("Rise and Fall," for instance) and filler tracks.
Keeper 3 blows those two away, quality-wise.
Totally disagree. All Deris-era material is watered down, generic, and tired sounding. When Kai Hansen left the band went to shit.
I think, because those early albums were such defining albums, that you—and many other people—are incapable of accepting that Helloween's classic material may not be as good as the non-classics.
Of course, you very well may like those early albums more; but to suggest that the Deris-era albums are watered down and generic is, in my opinion, absurd. I can't imagine that, if those are watered down and generic, the previous albums are not as well. That sort of thinking just doesn't make sense to me.
I find Deris to be an awful singer and the music to be wholly uninteresting. The drop in quality is too much for me. I always listen to see if maybe there is something interesting again but they are now a part of the indistinguishable mass of boring power metal bands.
