Good song for a frist. Lyrics...well, I don't think that i could get better lyrics for my first song...Musicaly speaking, it's pretty melodic and pretty well tied togheter.
It's a good track, very 1970s hard rock but that's not really a bad thing! But for a Harris track it's quite sub-par, although it was his first. 3.5/5
Have to agree with Black Ace, pretty well done for the first self-penned song, but only a glimpse of what was to come later.

[!--emo&:unsure:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/unsure.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'unsure.gif\' /][!--endemo--] So I've voted once again ( if I remember well, it was 3/5). I don't remember my comments ! [!--emo&--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--] Something about his band, 'Smiler', who founded it too hard to play. All the "Maiden elements" are in this song : tempo change, harmonized guitars and amazing solos. I like this song ! (in fact, I remember my comments... it was not really interesting...

You can clearly hear Steve's influences here. Although it's a great track (and the first one I actually played on bass by Maiden) I'm lucky that Maiden "changed" their style - I'll give it a 3,5
i think this is a very good song, this is the second iron maiden track i ever heard, the first was running free the a- side, very nostalgic for me, this track.
Re: 'burning Ambition' very direct, I like it....it's funny this early Maiden lyric style like And when I get these feelings honey, you better keep away from me ..... There's things in life now, baby, that I know I've got to do And I need your love now, baby, to help me see it through
Re: 'burning Ambition' Since i'm hearing this album for the first time since... well, i will comment this one. Maybe that lyrics are Kiss' influenced. Anyway, despite interesting guitar riff, a b-side it is. 5\10.
