Dear Mr. Arsh Karma (the reviewer below). Thanks God you chose to buy "KILLERS" instead of "NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING" ...The latter one is a shame, while KILLERS is a masterpiece, the second album from Maiden, the first featuring ace producer Martin Birch and the first featuring ace guitarrist Adrian Smith. In this one, Maiden worked on songs that were already tried and proved for years playing live in the British pub scene. So they just refined it a little and went into the studios. The result was a tour-de-force of great metal music, great solos, Clive Burr's amazing drumming and Paul Di'anno's unique voice giving it all he could (I'm sorry, Bruce Dickinson, your voice is wonderful, but for sheer rock'n roll voice Di'anno was the one ). Steve Harris wrote all the songs for this album, with the exception of the title track, co-written with Di'anno.
