This album is absolutely amazing. I don't think there is a bad song on the record. A lot of people are familiar with songs like "2 Minutes to Midnight" and "Aces High", but some of the best songs on this record are "Back in the Village", "Rhime of the the Ancient Mariner" (based on the Coleridge poem) and "Flash of the Blade". Bruce Dickinson is one of the most undervalued singers of the 80's and he really shows off his talents on this album. The musicianship is also first rate. If you are curious about Iron Maiden and have not heard too much of their stuff this album is a really good introduction.
