Out of Maiden's first 7 albums, all albums besides this one and Killers would get a 5-star rating for me. The reason for this is probably the fact that the album is not as heavy as the previous ones. It is also a bit too polished, which is actually not that good. The synth guitars sound good, but I think you wouldn't want to hear them from a band like Maiden. The good points, however, are the songs themselves. There are many top hits. Everyone would agree on Wasted Years. Out of the other 7 songs everyone has his/her own favorites. My favorites are Stranger In A Strange Land (very emotional and powerful, great use of the synth guitar), Deja-Vu (amazing song that makes you jump all over... requires a few listens), and Alexander the Great (the same caliber of To Tame A Land).Overall its a great album which every Maiden fan MUST own. If you're not a Maiden fan first get the debut album, The Number Of The Beast and 7th Son. Powerslave and Piece Of Mind are also extremly strong efforts. Oh.. and the new one, Brave New World, is extremly good as well. UP THE IRONS!
