When this album was new, I stumbled across it in my local record store. I had never heard of them before, but based on the album art, band name, and picture / credits of the band on the back cover (long hair, dual guitars, no keyboards...), I bought it. Fan for life!
Love this song, also check out Out of the Silent Planet, very underrated. Btw if you wanna check out Blaze's era which I think is really underrated, see Sign of the Cross, Virus, Judgement of Heaven, Futureal, and The Clansman.
Iron Maiden's best album by a country mile. Iron Maiden is a superb album too. So many classics on this one, under the radar track - Twilight Zone - love it. Always preferred Di'Anno to Dickinson - I find the latter to be technically competent but a bit sterile. Di'Anno's style was much harder edged. Love the entire first two albums tbh, Di'Anno gets to show his range nicely. Also check out - Burning Ambition - an oft forgotten B Side featuring Di'Anno which is like an homage to Rush - superb track. I've got to be honest, for me, Maiden regressed big time once Di'Anno and Clive Burr (Drummer) left. They made some great stuff but it was buried in a sea of shite.
Blaze Bayley era? Gotta do The Edge of Darkness (from The X Factor) - I almost can't imagine this as a Bruce song - so suited for Blaze. Di'anno was a good singer, just didn't fit with the band.
