First off, to Mark Blake, the guy with the review at the beginning above...you are obviously not a metal fan. Piece of Mind "treads water"?????? Yeah right. That's the most innaccurate statements I've ever heard. Arguably every song on Piece of Mind is a ferocious rocker. Where Eagles Dare, Flight of Icarus, Die with your Boots on, The Trooper, Quest for Fire...oh yeah, those songs tread water. Moron. This first Maiden album is great too. Different sound. DiAnno is much more raw, and with far less vocal range than Bruce (one of the best singers in all of metal.) But there are some truly classic tunes on this, and, as you'll find throughout the entire Maiden catalog, fantastic guitar. You need every Maiden album (except the Blaze stuff) if you're a true fan of metal. Hail the reunion!!!!!
