Lyrics are the strongest part of this song, one of Maiden's best. I like that "will give me peace of mind" part the most. 8/10.
10! Best song from PoM! I don't have a Maiden top ten, but maybe after listening all of their songs I'll make one, and this is definitely going to be part of it!
8/10, Great song, I like the intro with the backwards talking, slightly dark lyrics but good nonetheless.
Re: 'still Life' I agree ENTIRELY and am glad that someone said it! I think this song conveys the human fascination with evil and the unknown better than any other song they've ever done (and eons better than NOT, it's got a genuine spooky Victorian feel about it, and it was the first song from Maiden that really reached out and grabbed me. I would say this is THE most underrated Maiden song. And it's got such a great driving beat. The ending is killer too. While I love Maiden epics and probably have a top 50 list for Maiden, I think this actually could be their "perfect" song from beginning to ending.
ill bump my 8 vote to 9 comment... i actually love it, its different and good for it. the strange beginning only helps the general insanity of it all. great story
9/10 This one should definitely be more well-known than it is, and I'm surprised it hasn't appeared on a best of compilation (as far as I know). Gorgeous playing from Dave in the intro, and lots of riffs that twist and turn in unexpected ways.
9. Really cool song. Very underrated, and I think it should be played live more often. Awesome chorus.
