(Rated this album with 6 out of 10) Reviewed by

I know that I will propably catch alot of heat from fellow Iron Maiden fans for saying this, but when listening through No Prayer for the Dying the words uninspired and dull comes to mind. It is like Iron Maiden lost some of their creativity and their "energy" on this album. There are some good songs like the title track and Run Silent, Run Deep but as a whole the album seem "forced" by that I mean it seems like Iron Maidens soul was not into making this album, like it was something they had to do to satisfy record companies or fans. They might succeed in pleasing the first group, but I do think they fail in making the second party happy. Bruce Dickinson left Iron Maiden after this album, and one have to wonder whether he was getting tired of "playing it safe" and wanted new challenges as a solo-artist. With Dickinson leaving Iron Maiden went towards sad times.
