Hell On Earth
The Longest Day

Wow. Just…wow.

EDIT: I say this because these two songs are in my personal top 5 Maiden songs.

 

[Jadukor]

1. Fear is the key
2. Mother of Mercy
3. New Frontier
4. Age of Innocence
5. Death or Glory

Quest For Fire's instrumental section is a 10/10 and I'll die on that hill.

I wouldn't say 10/10, but easily 8/10 or even a bit more. Great instrumental section indeed. What IMO downgrades it seriously (apart from the goofy lyrics) is Bruce's singing, especially those falsettos. A rare case in that regard.

Hell On Earth
Journeyman
The Mercenary
The Longest Day
Senjutsu

Do you actually believe that Hell on Earth is one of the worst 5 Iron Maiden songs from their entire discography, or perhaps could you be judging on a curve based on reaction to the recent popularity of this song among Iron Maiden’s fans?

 

[Eddieson]

1. Apparition
2. The Ides Of March
3. Age Of Innocence
4. When The River Runs Deep
5. Charlotte The Harlot

Worst to... less bad

an excellent or memorable song, especially one with an energetic beat that is good for dancing to.
"every single song on the album is a certified banger"

Hmmm....no.

 

[matic22]

Yes. The Nicko version.

Album version is shite, tho.

The Nicko version is epic!

The Nicko version is epic!

It's the definitive version.

 

[Vaenyr]

The lyrics suck but musically it's absolutely awesome. It features the James Bond chord progression in its main riff!

1. The Educated Fool (3/10)

I've had this song on a loop recently and playing it with my band soon. Something about it connects with me

 

[damage_case]

5. Shadows of the valley
4. When the wild wind blows
3. When the river runs deep
2. The Fugitive
1. The Apparition

My thoughts on the song.

 

[Jadukor]

I like The Fugitive a lot. The acoustic intro and solo in the song is really cool. There is a heavyness and atmosphere in that song even though the main riff is quite simple

 

[MindRuler]

Yeah there are much worse songs on Fear Of The Dark! I always liked The Fugitive.
