There is not one thing possibly wrong with this album,it is very heavy and very raw adding Jannick's sock em guitar. I will always defend Jannick Gers because it is a fact that he is an outstanding guitarist and just as good if not better then Adrian, however people just wont except the fact that the band had to move on right after the golden years with Smith. The production is quite excellent,thr timing and capability is terrific and all of the songs flow very smooth together. Dave and Jannick are outstanding together, 2 solid heavy metal guitarist, with steves clean lightning striking bass and songwriting,also Nicko's drums, this might just be Nickos best drumwork, and Bruce Dickinson's vocals have never been so raw on an album, its utterly breathtaking how he sings.Tailgunner-If people are going to call this an aces high wannabe, then you might as well call aces high a where eagles dare wannabe, oh but you wont because that was in the early 80s.Besides this song has a different story talking abt. WW II and is so outstanding, very raw, everything is catchy on it too. Holy Smoke-Great fun, hilariously done, the lyrics are so true. Talk abt. some major jamming, its a really fun maiden song and the guitar work on this is just outstandingly awesome. No Prayer for the Dying-Very beautiful song, some of steve harris's best lyrics ever, the opening smooth lead is very intense, and when they start jamming in the middle of the song it gets very heavy and very surprising. Why anyone would consider this a weak track is beyond me, its just very smooth. Public enemy #1-Great tune, fast and cool, steve's bass is just incredible how he makes it talk, and some of the best lyrics ever written again. Fates warning-Great opener and Jannick's smooth lead solo in the beginning of the song is quite impressive, then when the jamming comes in its great, another great song abt. armageddon, and the way bruce sings the chorus is awesome. The assassin-Very cool tune, the bass sound is very neat, it sort of reminds me of killing is my business abit. Jannick holds the solo quite well and makes it a very mean one at that, also Bruce sings this with very intense vocals like he did on De-javu, of course how the chorus is sung on this is awesome too. Run silent, run deep-this is not a weak track at all, awesome lyrics based upon a killer war movie, jannick's solo in this kind of reminds me of his solo on the song dive,dive,dive from tattooed millionaire, as well as daves surprising guitar solo its quite striking then at the end of the song, its awesome to hear bruce's clean vocals with the clean guitar riff. Hooks in you-an awesome wicked love song, the chorus again is sung very cool, this song is alot of fun to listen too.
Bring your daughter to the slaughter-A classic horror metal song, with an awesome solo by jannick and why anyone doesnt like this song is because thr just telling themselves its bad cause its Jannick playing it, everything in this song is perfect & is a maiden,metal classic, just listen too it.
Mother russia-Ahh a very cool political typeof song, the opening russian anthem riff is very cool with the cool sounding keyboards, it really fits the mood, and in the middle of the song the mid melody is quite lavishing, and this is a cool song for anyone who enjoys songs about politics. All in all its a great album and has the great maiden sound minus all the synthesizers and tons of keyboards just a few keyboards, its alot like killers,powerslave and even a bit of 7th son. Well everyone wake up and realize what a great album this really is and is of course one of maiden's best. Please people really listen and see how awesome it is.
