NOW PLAYING

It's not the best Maiden album but it's not the worst and it has great instrumental passages. It has a special meaning to me those days. I was 16 then and I remember with affection.

It was such a disappointment but back at the time I didn’t want to admit it. And was looking for reviews to get some assurance and most of reviews were 5 stars!! as nobody wanted to bury Maiden. However nobody was buying it. The comparison with TYR and Painkiller which were released about the same time it was striking.
Even more so that both Black Sabbath and Judas Priest were considered past their prime, but so did Maiden with this very album.

Anyway, I too have fond and painful memories about this one.
