3.5/5 ·
Warthur
Helloween's debut album offers a more speed metal-oriented sound than the classic Keeper of the Seven Keys albums that would follow, and whilst they'd never quite go back to this rawer style it's nice that we did at least get one album in this mode from them. It isn't always especially original - Heavy Metal (Is the Law), in particular, seems to be following the 1980s metal law that every generic speed metal album must include a song about how much you like heavy metal - but there's still a few gems on here like Reptile and the overall album is still quite fun.
