Keeper of the Seven Keys Part III....I don´t think I have to say much more.

This is exactly how Helloween would have sounded if they had decided to make a 3rd album in that series. It´s a natural extension of the path Helloween had started at that time, but decided to leave before it was too late, if you ask me.
This is just a little bitter lamer than the original. I would not have opposed if it had been well done, but this is just not especially inspiring.

For you who have followed and appreciated this band since the start you will not be surprised over anything, and you will feel at home with what they give you here. In some songs Insania manages to deliver some brilliant riffs, licks or melodies, but it´s too long between the moments to contribute to any higher rates here.

Fans of this genre should check this out, but for the ones, including me, that think that those Keepers-albums are slightly overrated - don´t bother.
