Free Music Review: Another Maiden Classic!
Hit: 5 Stars
Maiden never disappointed in the 80's, and this is certainly no exception. Iron Maiden's sixth album, Somewhere In Time (1986), is perhaps the greatest progressive metal album of all time. It's no Number Of The Beast, but what Maiden CD (aside from that) is? NONE! Anyway, SIT is probably their third best album in my opinion. It features some things that were new to the band at the time: the incorporation of guitar/bass SYNTHS into their music. Overall, it all works out pretty well, they almost sounded like Fate's Warning had moved to England, which is good. And now, of course, the three highlights of the album. "Caught Somewhere In Time" is another prime example of how metal albums open well. It starts out as a slow duel of guitar vs. g. synth, then turns into a speed-metal blowout! Track 2, "Wasted Years," features one of the greatest guitar intros ever done by the band. It also features one of the greatest choruses of all time. And "Stranger In A Strange Land" is an eerie mid-tempo heavy rocker with one of my favorite bass-lines ever. Overall, this album is definetely recommended for Maiden fans, as well as various prog-metal acts, like Kings-X, Fate's Warning, Dream Theater, and Andromeda, among others. ROCK HARD, RIDE FREE!

Another masterpiece from maiden's GOLDEN YEARS.
1) Caught Somewhere In Time: The opening track hooks you in straight away with a brilliant intro. Which then builds
into a truly storming Maiden song.
2) Wasted Years: A brilliant riff, again, to draw you in and then Maiden go in for the kill with the first single
from the album.
3) Sea Of Madness: The heaviest song on the album. Hit all the right notes is Dickinson's voice on this track. .
4) Heaven Can Wait: . The albums blistering early pace kept up with the second 7 minuter.
5) Lonliness Of A Long Distance Runner: The song title ripped straight from the movie of the same name. Just when
you think the album is slowing down with a melodic intro.... Oh no my friends. Another classic.
6) Stranger In A Strange Land: I just can not put it in words so i'll just say one of the best songs by Maiden
ever.
7) De Ja Vu: De Ja Vu is another incredible track with well thought out lyrics.
8) Alexander The Great: Dubbed, by Harris, as the greatest Maiden song never to be played live. An awesome tale
told about the Macedonian warrior .
Free Music Review: MAY POSSIBLY BE THE BEST
Hit: 5 Stars
The opening to this thing absolutley cooks and from there this album is a progressive masterpeice! I love pretty much every album up until seventh son but I will give this one honorable mention.
While I think that Maiden become more of a prog band with BRUCE DICKINSON I still like his stuff.
MAIDEN ONE and KILLERS are the NO BULL metal albums, but if you want to escape into the music your better off with BRUCE ERA stuff. SOMWHERE IN TIME is a great album to get lost in, start to finish, theres so many layers to it and little surprises that jump out later on. (Listen on a good pair of phones and you'll know what I'm saying).
To the girl posted before me, LOTS OF PEOPLE LOVE THIS ONE! However lots of people hate it too, I never understand things like this. Its got a different feel thaan the stuff before it, but it still wasn't cheesy eighties schlock. It was experimental metal, and if you ask me the results were excellent.
SEVENTH SON is also great but was the beggining of the end for the MAIDEN GOLDEN AGE. Its a little more poppish but still very good. I RECOMMEND GETTING THEM BOTH TOGETHER if only just to compare and contrast.
Free Music Review: Maiden...with a Twist
Hit: 5 Stars
"Somewhere in Time" marked a slight change in style and feel in Iron Maiden that they have not repeated to my own knowledge. This offering from the band maintains their previous epic metal songs, each one a tale. They went with a more "new wave" metal feel, but didn't completely saturate the CD in it. Fans can still recognise the trusted Maiden hallmarks, but with some added flavour to spice things up.
This is one of my all time favourite Maiden CD's, especially...well, hell, I like them all, pretty much. It is hard to choose what I like better. "Caught Somewhere in Time" makes an excellent kick start to what is a fantastic journey through some lively, thumping and awesome metal.
Being into running, I really enjoyed the song "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner". Only Maiden could take something so mundane and make it sound so cool. "Alexander the Great" is also a fantastic song, with some great music work and tight vocals.
Although a slightly different feel to Iron Maiden's usual, "Somewhere in Time" is something every fan should have in their collection. You are missing something special if you haven't got it.
