Average Rating:
 Rating:  - My least favourite Maiden album...Never could get on with this album. I thought No Prayer For The Dying was average (a shock for a Maiden fan from the old days) but this one is downright awful. I was moderately hopeful when the single of Be Quick Or Be Dead was released, but this album crushed those hopes. Some of the vocals are okay (Childhood's End) and the title track finally made some kind of sense after seeing it live...but no thanks. Rating:  - standard, excellent music from MaidenWhile I believe that "Somewhere in Time" was Maiden's best work, this album was full of great tunes. In standard fashion, Maiden had the harmonized lead guitars, the awesome voicework, and non-stop energy driving this album. While the next album with the pretender vocalist really sucked, this album was top notch and gave metal fans like me something good to listen to, as opposed to the grunge crap dominating the airwaves. Rating:  - classic but changes added new things to the standard recipe.this cd had some old school classic maiden songs on it but with a long career come challenges staying fresh and how to compare to the newer bands.maiden are survivers but not experts they tried to pick up the pace with be quick or be dead(an attempt to match up to thrash style?) not them but they do stand their groung on many song the classic fear of the dark,from her to eternity and still seam to lose groung on quite a few song (trying to expertment with new things) to boost their sales. Rating:  - "Be Quick Or Be Dead!" 3 1/2 StarsIn 1990 Iron Maiden released "No Prayers For The Dying",an attemp to return to their roots which resulted in one of the band's worst album(Adrian Smith has said he left because he wasn't happy with the direction the band was taking,he did not participate in any way to it).Two years latter they return to a more traditionnal style for 1992's "Fear Of The Dark",obviously better than its predecessor.Fear Of The Dark was released without much promotion and at the time Grunge music had pretty much destroyed everything so there wasn't a lot left directionwise.Maiden still released an album true to themselves and managed to produce a few great songs with FOTD.Most fans were unhappy with the direction they took with their previous album and this one ...

Back in 1989, Adrian Smith left the band and Janick Gers replaced, and in 1990, Maiden released the tad dissapointing but enjoyable nonetheless "No Prayer For The Dying" which got a backlash from the fans. 1992, Maiden released "Fear of the Dark". Ths is the second album minus Smith, and still got backlashed from the fans. Personally, I think No Prayer grows on you after 2 listens, this takes many. BE QUICK OR BE DEAD: THe fast paced opener, very awesome and borderline Speed-metal. FROM HERE TO ETERNITY: Not bad, but kind of an ACDC ripoff. AFRAID TO SHOOT STRANGERS: An amazing song that starts off slow then gets fast then ends slow. FEAR IS THE KEY- lol wut? CHILDHOOD'S END- Classic Maiden ... Read More: |
