this is there worst album. all the songs sound like they were rushed through, like they didn't think about the material, they just did it. adrian agreed that they didn't work on songs enough. he was right.jannick gers can't hold a candle to adrian smith."holy smoke" is a lame attempt to trash evangelists. in 1990 that topic was an old hat. slayer did that 2 years ago with the far superior "read between the lies", as well as countless other bands."mother russia" is steve's worst epic ever. it sounds like like they just didn't care anymore. they pulled out of this slump after that.fear of the dark was alot better than this crap. lets hope that maiden don't ever sink this far again
