OUTSTANDING!!!

If only I could give more than a 5/5... What an incredible album! This is just another album that makes me thankful that I can't wear out a CD like you could tapes. I enjoy it now even more than when I first heard it (which is difficult to believe). If I were to try to pick out my favorite songs, I would just end up typing the list of songs as they appear on the album. As this is a later release, this also includes "Total Eclipse," which was originally a B-side, but really deserves a place on this album. This was Bruce Dickinson's debut album with the band, after the departure of Paul Di'Anno. On top of everything else, this album became huge not only due to it's sheer great quality as an album itself, but also by the controversy that needlessly surrounded its release. In typical Iron Maiden fashion, largely thanks to Steve Harris, much of this album is based upon history, film, and television, but people who judged it before understanding the songs wrongly labeled it. Just get it, and you will understand! The album artwork can't be beat - probably one of the greatest covers of all time. Finally, it ends with "Hallowed Be Thy Name" - arguably the greatest song of all time. You won't be disappointed. ECD videos are a great addition.
