Great Album!

This was my first Maiden slbum. I receieved it shortly after it was relased and still love it! June 21, 2008

Excellent CD

I originally bought the audio cassette of this when it was released in 1986, and bought the CD just recently. This is an excellent release from Iron Maiden, and to me the last of the really good ones they recorded in the 80s. To me there are no weak tracks on the disc. Probably all Maiden recordings will be judged against "Number of the Beast" and "Piece of Mind", but I believe this one stands out on its own. June 9, 2008

Adrian Smith Paves the Way for Continued Success

Yes, Adrian has alot to do with all of these songs on here. He wrote most of them and was the lead guitarist in all of them I believe. (Yes, I know who Dave Murray is.) This just keeps the success going for Maiden. Some songs (Caught Somewhere in Time, Alexander the Great) kept the solid Maiden heaviness in them. Others, (Heaven Can Wait, Wasted Years,) had that, but something else---that something else was Mr. Adrian Smith. All I can say is that it's solid all the way through. A Great Buy! June 1, 2008

Excellent CD

First album of Iron Maiden I heard was Fear of the Dartk, later, I started to buy the rest of albums. This album is great. I recommend it to you. April 30, 2008

The Beginning of the End

Still a great album by Maiden but definitely a disappointment compared to its predecessors. Yes, you can hear the synthesizers starting to creep into to the music and the creative talent starting to slip. Mostly great songs though but 'Heaven Can Wait' and 'Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner' are just atrocious!!! If only the latter had lyrics dealing with the runner from the Battle of Marathon then I could relate but the lyrics are just terrible! I like 'Alexander the Great' but I always thought the song would have been better if Dickinson would have been more poetic about it instead of making the song just a history lesson. In terms of music, one definitely gets the feeling of less innovation in just about every department except the synthesizers and that's pretty sad for a band like Maiden that just hadn't sold themselves out. Nothing compared to the abysmal production of '7th Son...' but one can hear the sound starting to get campy and that's my reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.
