First an (easy) observation: Mark Blake needs therapy, or he simply doesn't have a clue about heavy metal. Now about the title: This is probably the best Maiden CD. ALL the songs are of a high quality. In fact this is the only Maiden CD I don't skip any song. Paul Di Anno's voice fits excellently to these songs (I disagree Bruce Dickinson can perform them better!). Clive Burr is also considered better than Nicko McBrain and Dennis Stratton makes a fantastic couple with Dave Murray (although Dave found the perfect match with Adrian Smith). I like each and everyone of the songs but especially Phantom of the Opera is a metal masterpiece.
