(Rated this album with 10 out of 10) Reviewed by

OK, I admit that No Prayer For The Dying had some shortcomings. But folks, this is an improvement! The first two songs "Be Quick Or Be Dead" and "From Here To Eternity" really cook and "Afraid To Shoot Strangers" is one of the most beautiful heavy metal songs ever written. If there are any, and I mean ANY, weak songs on this album, the aforementioned three more than make up for them! And by the way, just because Adrian Smith isn't on the album, doesn't make it a bad one. Janick Gers is a great guitar player, and if you disagree, see if you could outdo him. They've got Steve, Bruce, and Dave on this album, so stop being so juvenile!!
