  1. The Flash Stranger

    Steve is the leader of this song. Solos are great, but the vocals are so high for me. However, it still deserves a 10. 10/10
  2. Perun Thunder God

    A nice, straightforward and simple song that wins a lot live... as Jonszat said, this would have been the better "Wrathchild". It's a good song to get you pumped, although it may not do too much else. But then, does every song have to? 8/10.
  3. Taker Cannon Fodder

    9 out of 10... LOVE THAT RIFF! As relatively uncomplicated as this tune is, the powerful opening grabs me and shakes me and doesn't let go... every time. I find that high volume levels are a requirement to fully appreciate this one. This was the first song I learned to play off POM... :shred:

  5. Mosh Steven Wilson is da best.

    A fun song. Used to be my favorite song when I was younger, and I used to think the line was "To ashes his Brain!" Given the whole lobotomy thing and the brain bit in the musical video. Today I still enjoy it, I like to play it on guitar, but I don't go out of my way to listen to it either. Like most of the Piece Of Mind album (which was on repeat constantly when I was younger) this song brings back good memories. 9/10
  6. Night Prowler I hate Steven Wilson

    As opposed to Revelations which is better when played faster, this one is better when played slower. Used to be one of my favorite songs, so I carved the chorus into a table in high school. 10/10.

    8. LAD version is the best. Riff and chorus rocks. Especially I love the end! :shred:
  8. Fugazi Alchemist

    I give this one an 8/10, like the guitars on this one, a solid album track.
  9. Zare Colonel General

    7. Track of this simplicity must be really catchy and total hit to make it up to 8 or 9. I don't feel like chorus is on that level, the doubled high-pitch singing is a bit corny.
  10. bearfan Ancient Mariner

    9

    Really good single
  11. Tron The Guardian

    put 4, meant 7... nice little song but nothing special... its 'ite
  12. czgibson Invader

    9/10

    One of the first songs that really grabbed me as I was discovering Maiden. Powerful vocals from Bruce (the "Let it go!" on Live After Death is brilliant too), and some stunning solos. When Dave starts mangling that B string from 3:19 on I usually get a strong mental image of Icarus flapping wildly as he drops.
  13. 8. Great simple little song. Good catchy chorus.
  14. Revelations85 Trooper

    9/10. Great chorus.
