Review of Somewhere Back In Time (The Best Of: 1980-1989) - Iron Maiden

It's Iron Maiden rocking in RIO!

Advantages: Great music and terrific Special Features
Disadvantages: Not all my favourite songs but still brilliant

...Rock In Rio Rock In Rio Festival was preformed in front of a sell out crowd of about 250,000 people on the 19th January 2001. It was the last gig Maiden done on their tour of their album Brave New World, and was undoubtedly the biggest. This is their first album since the return of Bruce Dickinson after he left following the 'Fear Of The Dark' album to embark on his solo career. The show was shot using over 18 cameras and edited by Iron Maiden own Steve Harris shows the real best of Maiden. This DVD comes with 2 discs, the first being the actual live concert and the second being special features.

Review of Iron Maiden - Rock In Rio (DVD)

Iron Maiden's best

Advantages: Guitar work and effects, vocals, epicness
Disadvantages: None really. Some songs may go on for a bit too long

...This is Iron Maiden's 6th studio album and is possibly at the pinnacle of their career. With this release, they took things a step further, using synthesizers along with the classic Maiden riffs. They pulled this off extremely well, and that's one of the things that makes this, in my opinion, their best release. Caught Somewhere In Time is a brilliant upbeat, headbanging opening song, incredible vocals and drumming. The solos are as awesome as ever and this really gets you in the mood for the rest of the album. The only possible downside is that it seems like it drags on a bit at the end after a few listens. The next song, Wasted Years, has hit single written all over it. This is a catchy tune with lovely vocal harmonies in the chorus. Brilliant song. Sea Of Madness has a really funky groove going on and the chorus is really...

Review of Somewhere In Time [Remastered] [ECD] - Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden the Great

Advantages: Excellent use of synthesizers
Disadvantages: Some weak tracks, but no major disadvantages

...This was a real departure for Iron Maiden into much more melodic territory than they had ever ventured into before. This album marked the start of their heavy use of synths, which continued up until No Prayer for the Dying. The album is really very good indeed, and is a bit of an underrated release due to it’s lack of hit singles. But much of the album, though not of single length, is very good indeed and deserves a lot of attention from fans of heavy metal. The opening track stretches Bruce’s vocal abilities to the limit - he seemed at this point to be trying harder and harder on every album which Maiden put out, and it really shows here. The guitar work is extremely technical, harking back to earlier classics like Phantom of the Opera. The synths are used really well to add a bit of spit and polish to the album...

Review of Somewhere In Time [Remastered] [ECD] - Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden the great but missing a few classics

Advantages: all the best known songs are here
Disadvantages: couple of fan favourites missing

...This album is one of several greatest hits compilations of Iron Maiden. This is perhaps one of the best ones, but is only one CD long. Background of band: Iron maiden was formed in east London in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris and has now gone on to be one of the biggest selling bands in the heavy metal genre, with over 80 million albums sold worldwide. The band is well known for its mascot, Eddie, who features on most of the album artwork and also has his own computer game.

"Run to the Hills" This is one of Iron Maiden?s most well known songs, which has the chant ? along chorus. Always will be known as one of the true great metal songs...

Review of Edward The Great (Greatest Hits) - Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden - Best Of The Beast

Advantages: It has every Maiden classic you can think of!
Disadvantages: A few tracks which really shouldn't be on there.

...Back in the days I was just getting into metal, I desperately needed one big album which was more heavy metal than a lead elephant. The ablum that fulfilled my dreams was Iron Maiden's Best Of The Beast. Tracks have been ripped from the very albums they first appeared on, to this fantastic compilation of Maiden's best eddie tunes. I refer to Eddie of course as a half human, half underworld creature who has taken many forms as Iron Maiden's mascot. This includes a WW1 fighter pilot from the cover of "Aces High", a huge god like egyptian statue guarding the pyramids on "Powerslave" and Eddie can also been seen on Maiden's most famous Album "The Number Of The Beast" playing with Satan like a puppet. Virus: This is an unsual starter to the Album. This could be because it was never on any other albums. Blaze Bayley was around when...

Review of Best Of The Beast, The - Iron Maiden

Iron maiden brave new world

Advantages: You get to listen to Iron Maiden at their best
Disadvantages: none

...As I listen to the fast paced music and that mans powerful voice blurting out of my £300 Hifi system a sense of awe and excitement overcomes me. Until my mum bangs on the door, screaming at the top of her voice for this rackit to be turned down. I ask politely, what rackit?? This is without a dought one of Iron Maidens better albums. The guitar play is fast and furious and with the power of four guitars its very loud. With Bruce back in the driving seat you know you can expect to hear his powerful embracing voice blurt out above the noise screaming those brilliant lyrics into your ears. Nicko, what a drummer, how does he do it!!!!!!!!!!!! Now lets take a little time to look at the songs. Wickerman A fast furious rollercoaster ride of a metal song, Just right for the comercial market and a brilliant single and also a great choice...

Best concert from Maiden - Death On The Road

...Death On The Road In the autumn of 2003, beginning in October, Iron Maiden went on their largest and most captivating tour to date; it was called 'Death On The Road' and was also know as the 'Dance Of Death' tour.

Review of Iron Maiden - Death On The Road (DVD)

Old Maiden, New CD

Advantages: Sounds just like their old stuff
Disadvantages: None for me

...When this album came out last Monday it was sitting on my doormat, as I had pre-ordered it from CD-WOW for only £8.99 (actually it was £8.49 as I had a 50p voucher!) :oP And I have listened to it at least once nearly every day since, even on my way to the Brum meet! I wrote the review bit underneath last Wednesday (on my 4th listen) as I have been waiting for the wonderful Ciao people to put the album on site. :oP ************************************* I thought what better way of doing my first Album review. A brand new album, by one of my favourite bands. Let me tell you a bit about them first, as I am sure there must be a few people that haven't heard of them! Iron Maiden had their debut single released in 1980, yes they have been around for that long! But then it was a slightly different line up, with Paul Di...
