Bruce does sound strained on SIT. Doesn't stop it from being my favorite Maiden album though.
The atmosphere on that record is second to none.
Really? That's his best vocal performance on the album barring Wasted Years.
I'd add Stranger in a Strange Land to the songs where he sounds strained instead of SoM.

I keep hearing from people that they love this performance, and it puzzles me. To me, it's his worst album performance from the eighties after Back in the Village. He sounds strained, bored and tortured, incapable of hitting the high notes and not bothering to try. Stranger in a Strange Land on the other hand is his best on the album in my opinion.
Yes. SIASL rocks my socks.
OK right after I posted that, SIASL came on shuffle in a three thousand song playlist.

The chorus of SIASL is cringe inducingly strained. Sea of Madness has my favorite Maiden chorus ever.
As for the verses, I think it has more to do with how the songs are written than Bruce struggling. Sea of Madness has busy verses due to a rapid main riff, Stranger in a Strange Land is mid-tempo with just chords playing under the verses.

I listened to it very recently too, shuffled from a 4883 song playlist. Spooky.
It's amazing how contrary opinions can be.

As you scream into the web of silence...
He doesn't sound strained at all, to my ears at least. People giving Deja Vu as an example, well, it's a weird vocal in the verses, but the chorus and stuff is good. Yeah, I think it's fine, but then I love the album so I might be biased, I dunno.

Regarding Deja Vu, I'm more annoyed by the pronunciation than the vocal performance itself. "Déjà vous" indeed

I've been very enamoured with Benjamin Breeg over the last few days and just now I checked Ultimate Guitar for the tab. It was posted by some guy called Jeff Metal.......

I think Bruce was sick on the SIT tour. He practically talks his way through Hallowed.
