Search - Helloween :: Light Universe

A good video, good music, good concept, poorly executed due

"The music that accompanies the vocals on this track is very excellent, with great solos and a good pace, but the vocals are sub-par, and that is tough for me to say about a band that I have followed for almost 16 + years now. Andi does a good job by himself, and so does Candice, but together the mixing just kills the peaks of both of their vocal ranges. This song the way that the parts are split up makes it choppy, and should have just use her as solo in the chorus, or accompanying Andi Deris. The video on this cd is very interesting, and nicely layed out and save this single some. But what save this single almost soley is the bonus track REVOLUTION. A must have track for helloween collectors, and one that should have made the layout for the KEEPERS III 2 discs (which it did in japan only). Great beginning, middle and end, pulls you right through, could have made keepers I and II. A great piece of thrash/power metal. Pick this up, you will like it, and if you are a helloween collector, a must have. FYI-the japanese and european imports are exactly the same, except for the price, and no OBI or japanese lyrics. take a look at both.
