To Album: Man I was on the album, anno 2000, eager to (finally Maiden with Bruce), I had an album a la Piece of Mind hoped and was very disappointed at first hearing.
This has now changed yet. Songs like Wickerman, (awesome riff and also live a Burner), Ghost`s of Navigator or the title track, (with a nearly ring the final part), I find now really strong. Blood Brothers and also the Mercenary are good song.
The rest falls my opinion somewhat.
Overall, however, there is a tendency on the following albums, (Dance of the Dead, A Matter of ..... and Final Frontier), and there, I have to say, it goes from album to album down there unfortunately.
Harsh words I know, but it is just my opinion, so and now I pull again Piece of Mind purely ;-)
