Re: What is the best album in the history
OMG this is hard...
maybe The Metal Opera saga by Avantasia. I don't know, though. There are a lot to be mentioned.

In the history of power metal? Hard!
I'd say Keeper of the Seven Keys partII (or maybe I) by Helloween.

I would say Keeper I. Easy choice.

Between I and II it's not that easy. Surely not III, but maybe II (Keeper of the Seven Keys is one of the best tunes ever!)Ragehead91 wrote:The best in Power Metal?eagledreamr wrote:In the history of power metal? Hard!

Re: What is the best album in the history
For me it is easy. Keeper I is by far better than part II. In part II Weikath and Kiske started to take over the band and you could clearly hear that the direction they chose was very different from what Kai had in mind. If you take a look at the early Gamma Ray Albums you can see that. Actually, I think songs like "Heading for Tomorrow", "Heaven Can Wait", "Lust for Life", "Space Eater" or "The Silence" woul've sounded great with Kiske even though I prefer Ralf. But I'm digress. Keeper II is still a good album but I like part I more. And Part III is in my opinion a good album. In general I am more a fan of the Deris Era Helloween.eagledreamr wrote:Between I and II it's not that easy.

any Stratovarius album of the visions years would do so I'll say Destiny for having the title track that is simply superb

Re: What is the best album in the history
I wouldn't blame Weikath on that. After all, on Keeper II he wrote THE power metal song, Eagle Fly Free. Let's just agree they both rock.Ragehead91 wrote:For me it is easy.

My absolute favourite of all time would probably be Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth.

Re: What is the best album in the history
In my opinion:
1) Visions
2) Land of the Free
3) Keepers 2
4) Avantasia 1
Almost a tie between all those, perfect albums (10/10) for me

WHA? Keeper Part III was WAY better than I and II,eagledreamr wrote:Between I and II it's not that easy. Surely not III, but maybe II (Keeper of the Seven Keys is one of the best tunes ever!)Ragehead91 wrote:The best in Power Metal?eagledreamr wrote:In the history of power metal? Hard!

I and II were more "Revolutionary", because they took Dio Styled Vocals and applied them to Heavy Metal instead of Hair Metal, not necessarily Original, but certainly relevant. But Part III has much more expressive songs.

Re: What is the best album in the history
IMO Keeper PartIII is not revolutionary, it's just a great album. Keepers I and II were revolutionary, they created a whole genre. Both have amazing songs, powerful lyrics and music. And they have not gone old at all, they're still great live nowaday.
Then, whether I is better than II is another question...I personally can't tell, IMO it's not that easy...

Re: What is the best album in the history
Number one is definitely Visions by Stratovarius but A Kind of Magic from Queen is also a close call. Both are perfect albums in their genre.

Re: What is the best album in the history
Keeper of the Seven Keys part I is the album that made the hair on my balls start to grow so I have to go with that. Part II is the second best.

Re: What is the best album in the history
WOW big question.
Ok.
My top 5 in no particular order
Stratovarius - Elements Part 1
Stratovarius - Episode
Blind Guardian - Imaginations from the Other Side
Rhapsody - Dawn of Victory
Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica
These are the power metal albums which have affected me the most, both emotionally and as a musician.

Re: What is the best album in the history
Best album in general;
Ayreon - 01011001
Best powermetal album;
Haven't got enough of them to say, but I'd say Powerplant.
