 Post subject: keepers Part 3
PostPosted: Mon Oct 10, 2005 11:27 pm 
I have listened to a promo of keepers Part 3 and can i just say its good

01 - The King For 1000 Years.
02 - The Invisible Man.
03 - Born On Judgement Day
04 - Pleasure Drone.
05 - Mrs. God.
06 - Silent Rain
07 - Occasion Avenue
08 - Light The Universe
09 - Do You Know What You're Fighting For
10 - Come Alive.
11 - The Shade In The Shadow
12 - Get It Up
13 - My Life For One More Day


Took me a few listens ,It has some catchy tunes ,The Invisible Man,Pleasure Drone,My Life For One More Day and overall a very good effort ....Occasion Avenue a weird track indeed--

80/100


Its a good albums and it gives a good listen , like the time you first heard - The Time Of The Oath , Deris you either like him or hate him

This has been discussed. I give this album a 95/100 easy. "Occassion Avenue" is the best Helloween song ever written!

I haven't made my mind on it yet.I've heard it only once, but from that i can say it's a damn good album if not that great.I'm not even trying to compare it to the previous keepers.That would be a mistake, i think.Not sure if this will top my fav. Andy Deris era album - TDR, but definitely would be a close second.

With the exception of Light the Universe, there isn't a bad song on this album. Definitely my favorite Deris era Helloween disc.

I love the intro to Occasion Avenue. A nice humorous nod to the Keepers I & II albums!

I really like "Light The Universe." I'm not too fond of "Born On Judgement Day," some times I really dig it, others I don't. It's a mood song, I guess. I think it's the worst on the CD, though it's clearly not a bad song.

Comparing this to Keeper I and II would be dumb, but I definitely think it's better than those two albums. :D

Maybe when I'm in a more subtle mood, I'll try Light the Universe again. For whatever reason, Helloween ballads just never have done it for me.

Yeah, the only thing on this album that makes me think of I & II on this album is the guy flipping through radio stations at the beginning of Occasion Avenue (don't want to take too much away from the upcoming review here). Other than that, a comparison to I & II is a stretch as Helloween is a different band now (17 years later). Still, I think it's worthy of the name.

Really? "Get It Up?" It's total cheese, that song! Good, I agree, but the best? I don't know about that. To each his own, I guess.

I think its in the top five for the year. I might need to up my rating. I've been listening to it regularly now and it is much more enjoyable than the first two listens. I'll say a 93/100.
