Maiden's first strongly disliked album by the fans. Why do I give it four stars you say? Well, for starters it opens with the awesome "TailGunner", a song that is perhaps way overlooked by the rest of the faithful. "No Prayer for the Dying" mellows things down but not too much. "Running silent, running deep" is not a highly ranked song, but put it in your car stereo and pump up the volume, don't hold back grandma, and prepare for a revel rising ride! What i've discovered is that this cd rocks more on the road than on my personal stereo system. Quite odd, eh? If you think I'm lying and full of it, then you should do the same and tell me I'm wrong! Besides the live versions of "Tailguunner", "Holy Smoke" (on the "Wasting Love" single, has the best live version of "Tailgunner", even better than Donnington'92!), "No Prayer for the Dying", and "Public enema number one" totally rock the audience's live appetites! "Be it the devil, or be it him. You can count on just one thing" four stars I give this album, not one less, and not one more.
