This album is not much like Maiden's other stuff, aside from maybe "Killers". Beware kids, this is RAW!! I don't know why Maiden dumped Clive Burr after "Number Of The Beast". I think he's better than Nicko. It's weird, I don't remember ever hearing of him playing in any other band after Maiden. Maybe he just became a cab driver lol! Alright, now onto the album. Dennis Stratton has a different lead syle than Adrian Smith. Paul Dianno is great, but he's not Dickinson. Can you imagine if Maiden continued on w/ Dianno? Would be interesting, but at least half of the listeners would not like them as much as they do. Best songs are "Prowler" (2nd best song ever), "Sanctuary" and "Running Free". Recommended.
