Somewhere in Time

Anyway, back to the topic - SIT used to be my favourite album ever, I couldn't get enough of it. Then I realised I like AMOLAD much more so it went to the comfy second slot. But... I don't know, I guess I might have overplayed it in the past. I still love the first three tracks and Runner, but I honestly have a hard time going through the rest, even SIASL. And Alexander used to be one of my favourite Maiden epics, but somewhere along the way that feeling and appreciation almost completely disappeared. Partly it's the lyrics, but also - out of the 80's epics, at least - it might be the most simplistic. Nowadays I don't even understand that crazy obsession with it being played live. I'd personally like much more if To Tame a Land was brought to stage anytime soon. That one has even been actually played live, so it's not that great a stretch.

Don't you ever distort Cried's words again, young Diesel.

It's one of my favourites, together with Seventh Son and the first two but I agree with you about it being played live. I doubt they could do it justice now, and I don't want to hear Heaven Can Wait ever.

You really like Killers all that much? I'm not attacking, merely interested. That one's always been the "hit and miss" record in Maiden discography, so it makes me wonder.

Yeah, I really do. And it took me quite some time to appreciate it (this is starting to parallel our Attila Csihar conversation :lol:). When I found Maiden in 1987 it was Bruce's stuff I first heard obviously, and I was slightly taken aback when I heard the first two. And even when I'd first got used to and then learned to love the Di'anno era, there was a period I was convinced that Iron Maiden had all the good songs and Killers just the leftovers, and it was only later that Killers suddenly clicked. i don't know how to explain it, it was similar with the Sabbat (UK) albums - had them for years, kinda liked them but wasn't really so much into them, then saw the East Berlin live VHS and suddenly heard them in an entirely new way.
