Amen to that Zare. Just a few comments.
Blaze excels, apart from a few small parts on the VXI-record (near the end of WTWC comes a hard-to-bear-part, I also like him less in the "Noooooo, we can't let them take anymore" part in The Clansman, and it sounds like he's kind of off key on Como Estais Amigos).
I have the idea that the start of "today's Maiden sound" came a bit earlier. I am talking about the songs Afraid to Shoot Strangers and Fear of the Dark from the album Fear of the Dark.
TXF and VXI are the castles which were built on these two rocks. One rock is still strong and visible, the other is forgotten. I'd like to see a path to that rock, and both castles should be unlocked and re-opened for public again.
Absolutely.

Absolutely.
