I rate this album pretty well.Not their best but still one hell of a decent one.7 out of the 8 tracks satisfy me,the only one not doing so is "The Prophet".The best tracks are "The Clairvoyant","Seventh Son of a Seventh son" and "Can I play with madness".This album also shows a change to Maidens previous style.The thing I like about the album is the magical theme it has to it,and if you listen to the music carefully enough it gives this magical impression.If my knowledge tells me correct the seventh son of a seventh son is a wizard.The moment I knew the theme to the album,I really wanted to buy it.Steve Harris quotes this album as being "magic without effort"whereas if you look at the albums predecessor "Somewhere in time" it doesnt have nearly the same effect.
What I can also say for buying this album,it has 2 impressive CD rom videos and in particular "Can I Play with madness"is worth a watch.So,what Id say,this album is worth its moneys worth.1MOONCHILD-Good intro,generally good elsewhere
2INFINATE DREAMS-Pretty good
3CAN I PLAY WITH MADNESS-One of my favourite ever tracks
4THE EVIL THAT MEN DO-Another all time great
5Seventh Son of a Seventh son-Best on the album!
6THE PROPHET-dont like this so much
7THE CLAIRVOYANT-Another great track
8ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG-Pretty good,same ending as start of Moonchild
