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

Iron Maiden's first two albums, with singer Paul Di'anno, sound a tad more like fast punk music than the signature "Maiden Metal" sound. These definitely are outcasts in the way the band progressed, but does this make them bad? NO! Iron Maiden has some excellent songs on it, such as "Phantom of the Opera" (my favorite,) "Running Free," and the headbanging title track "Iron Maiden." If you're new to Maiden, start with Piece of Mind or Number of the Beast, and then get this, because it alone is a classic!
