Gangland

What the hell is a "moral" contribution? lol

Co-writing the song but not being able to say it in case you get sued.

Re: Daily Song: Gangland

IMO, the weakest song on the album, but still great. 8/10.

Fanboy-ism at its best . I have been a huge Maiden fan ever since 1993, but that does not mean I consider everything this band ever did as pure genius. We are all human after all, and no one is perfect all the time (and no one has to be!). We all do stupid things from time to time, and so did Maiden when they wrote and released this song. Even second rate NWOBHM bands such as Tokyo Blade, Jaguar, Quartz or Praying Mantis did much better songs than this turd.

9/10

Gangland was my favorite track for awhile and it's really catchy. A shame that it was never played live.

2026 rating - 3/10

Gangland has exactly three things going for it:

• those bridge arpeggio sections
• Clive's drumming
• it fulfills a spot on the record that needed an upbeat song

Everything else stinks.
