Maiden runs in the radio charts!

After decisive on the direction of change - Somewhere In Time - what Maiden very much, in my opinion, had to reap unjustified criticism, they sat with the album - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - just with respect to the keyboard again a plan, and increased with - Can I play with madness - even in the Sunday SWF3 a hit parade. So there was between the Pet Shop Boys, Madonna, Depeche Mode and Iron Maiden and Bon Jovi to hear the presenters at that time also included Bon Jovi for Heavy Metal.

Anyway, the new Maiden disc then struck like a bomb, and the song - Can I Play with Madness - was the first title that I heard of this group, and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - a little later my first Maiden album that I grew myself.

Although the correct metal fans can not make friends with the keyboard or want to, I have to say that I am a bit sad that Maiden has not pursued this path a little more intense, because just "Moonchild" and the title track to benefit from the new arrangements several times. Personally, I still can not quite understand why so much Gedönse is made with respect to the keyboard because every instrument - no matter what - expands the musical spectrum of a band, and thereby gives her the possibility something new (Other) try out what Maiden is also on this album an outstanding success.

Can I Play with Madness - is certainly the weakest, not to mention the now abgelutschteste song of an album, which is exclusively terrific. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - is my personal favorite album of Iron Maiden from the eighties.
