 Rating:  - Iron Maiden go Heavy futurisc Metal on us. Epic! ! !This is the Iron Maiden album that divided the fans, there bound to be at least one album of every band that does that. Sadly I wasn't there when Iron Maiden & Heavy Metal bursted fastly into the 80s when music was creative exciting and sometimes brutal etc Slayer. I've been an Iron Maiden fan since 2006(i'm only 17) and I have all Iron Maiden albums, a couple of the live ones(surprisingly not "Live After Death" will get it soon). I first bought Iron Maiden latest album "A Matter Of Life And Death" out of luck which to be honest blew me away, after that I bought their whole back catalogue and love every one of their albums. In my opinion their weakest albums are "The X Factor" & "Virtual XI" still great albums(to me) but lack the sheer ... Read More: Rating: - My pick of MaidenIf I could have 1 maiden album, it would be Live After Death. If I could choose an extra, this would be my pick. It's stronger than the first 5 IMO and is interesting. My least favourite is probably The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, which although heavy, is basically just a weaker version of Sea of Madness. As with a best track, it changes on every listen. Overall it'd be Stranger in a Strange Land or Alexander the Great. A few tracks are a bit forgettable (mainly 1 and 8), but those are actually among the best songs here. Epics are never particularly memorable at first. You enjoy them when listening, but once you finish listening to them, you forget everything except awesome. For that reason I won't rate those two songs. 02 ...

This so called "remastering" sickness wich the label companies are fighting for is basicly nothing else but cranking up the loudness of the cd by compressing the sound to shadders and leaving no dynamic range of the cd's and the result is that after a couble of tracks you are getting a headache. If you like Iron Maiden then don't buy this awful remix, find the originals wich sound great. Rating: - Stranger in a Strange Land...The above title seemed appropriate when comparing this album to it's predecessors. Somewhere in Time, to me, is one of Maiden's strongest albums along with Powerslave and Seventh Son. From the opening title track that sets the tone for the album to the epic finale from the magnificently composed Alexander the Great, I loved it (although The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner seemed a little weaker when compared to the other songs). The inclusion of synths, although different to the previous albums, was a nice touch for the themes portrayed in the album and I don't really see a problem with them. The instrumental was strong throughout and the guitar work was some of the best yet with songs like Stranger in a Strange ... Read More: Rating:  - A Step Down in QualityIron Maiden were the greatest heavy metal band of the 1980's, however I can't help but feel that 'Somewhere in Time' is weak in comparison to the other Iron Maiden releases of the 80's. 'Somewhere in Time' marks a slight change in direction, not only because it is the first Maiden album to feature Synthesisers but some of the material is perhaps a little more commercial than on previous albums (with the exception of 'Run to the Hills'). The change in direction is emphasized by Martin Birch's unusually cheesy dated production, the guitars are very shiny and chorused and everything has just a touch to much reverb. However to Martin Birch's credit Nicko's drum sound is pretty much the same as previous releases and there's not a trace of the ... Read More: |
