Free Music Review: This is what you call 5 Stars
This is one of Maiden's best albums period .This is my third favorite from the band . What I like from this album is the futuristic feeling that it has.The synth guitatr and bass are just perfect for the album. The songs that sound the best with synth are Caught Somewhere In Time , The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner, and Deja-Vu. I wouldn't not be suprised if the title track was inspired By Back To The Future because if fits perfectly for a theme song for the movie, keep in mind the movie came out in 1985 and the album in 1986. I have a firm belief that the best guitar solos from Iron Maiden come from this album. This an Adrian Smith album and it show with his guitarwork. This also has the best album cover from Maiden. Eddie being used as a cyborg is just awesome. This is one of the band's best albums. I only rank Seveth Son and Powerslave higher than this one. This beats Piece of Mind and The Number Of The Beast from the Golden Years. This album mentions the " Golden Years" in the song Wasted Years. That pretty much sums up that it is definitely from Maiden's Golden Years.Remember this band is not dead they have another set of "Golden Years" right now with , Brave New World, Dance Of Death, and A Matter Of Life And Death . The Beast continues to live right to this very day and they will be forever in every Metalhead's heart whether you like them or not. Iron Maiden is Probably the Greatest Metal Band of All-Time. I am looking at you(Sabbath, Priest,Metallica) hell I am looking at every important Metal Band that has ever existed. No one has been able to show the constistency as these guys. That says a Music Review: Iron Maiden's last epic album, before starting a decline with Seventh SonHit: 5 Stars Like another one of your reviewers, It was kind of the cool album cover that induced me to purchase this album, but I did own the Piece Of Mind album at the time. It's just got a futuristic feel to it. I think that your reviewer Mr.Sinister from a review in late December 2005, said that he thought the song "The loneliness of the long-distance runner" was a stupid (he didn't choose those words I think) song, but I thought especially musically it was a very top notched track, and I was a long-distance runner in track and cross-country, so I thought it was cool, but I can kind of understand where Mr.Sinister's coming from anyway. This album kind of sounds poppy instead of straight ahead metal, but it still works in my opinion. Of course "Wasted Years" was a good hit for them, but I like "Sea of Madness", "Alexander the Great", "Stranger in a Strange land", and "Deja-Vu" quite a bit. I think Mr.Sinister said he thought the high point of Iron Maiden's albums was the SEVENTH SON release, but It's just starting to grow on me after all these years, but still, it's definitely not the high point, that would be PIECE OF MIND, and what a pure metal album that was. I would rank SOMEWHERE IN TIME as their second best, next to PIECE OF MIND, but still, this one is a great epic to have alongside PIECE OF MIND. Now that Adrian Smith is back with them, why do they need a third guitarist? You don't really need three guitars do you? I think for someone who is new to Iron Maiden, this would be the perfect place to start. Then, you might give PIECE OF MIND a whirl. Iron Maiden at their peak is just about as good as metal gets. ENJOY!!!
Free Music Review: My Personal favorite album from Iron Maiden
Hit: 5 Stars
Somewhere in Time is my favorite album from the best band to ever come out of England. This was a very hard choice to make as Powerslave, Brave New World, and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son came very close. Iron Maiden have amazed me with their incredible talent and ability to use different elements in their music. Bruce Dickenson has a great vocal range, and it shows on this album.
The album starts off with the title track, which introduced guitar synth from the leads. This was a risky move by Maiden, but in my opinion, it worked perfectly. The track, Wasted Years is a good song and I like the chorus. The song, Heaven can Wait is the catchiest song off of this album, and will be in your head for days!! (this is not a bad thing) I love the part in the middle of the song the best. The 2 best songs on this cd are, Stranger in a Strange Land, and Alexander the Great! Both of these songs are worthy for a spot on a greatest hits list. The vocals on 'Alexander' are nothing less than amazing, and the guitar soloists are at their best on 'Stranger.'
This cd was a great follow-up to Powerslave, and Iron Maiden continue to stick to their roots even today, with their newest release, titled 'Dance of Death.' I urge all Iron Maiden fans to pay the extra money to see this band live. Trust me, they are worth it! Bruce and the rest of their original linup from 'Number of the Beast' are the best! I saw them live in Los Angeles, CA for their Dance of Death tour. Please buy their albums, and if Maiden comes close to your city, their live performance is one NOT to be missed. UP THE IRONS!!

Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite albums by Iron Maiden, it could even be my favorite of all. It is their sixth album allready and the band is still in good form. Beneath you can see how I rate the songs:
Caught Somewhere In Time(11/10) - My favorite song of this album. Great intro, and the rest is also fantastic. This is one of Bruce Dickinson's best vocal performance.
Wasted Years(10/10) - A good song again. It was released as a single on the 6th of september 1986(charted 18).
Sea Of Madness(8/10) - Good song, the chorus is has a really good melody.
Heaven Can Wait(8/10) - A good song, but a bit long-winded.
The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner(10/10) - A great song with great melodies and guitarplay. And I also like to mention the fantastic singing on this song.
Stranger In A Strange Land(9/10) - Very good, nice chorus. It was released as a single on november 22nd 1986, charted 22.
DeJa Vu(9/10) - Another great song with fantastic melodies and guitarplay.
Alexander The Great(10/10) - This is the epic of the album. Fantastic, great lyrics and vocal performance.
So as you have read, this is a fantastic album. Bruce Dickinson is a very good singer and he shows it here. Buy this album if you like the genre, and also if you don't like the genre you should buy it so you can learn to like the genre or you can give it as a present to somebody who likes this genre. Enjoy!
Free Music Review: Somewhere In Time : "Still The One"
Hit: 5 Stars
I was 16 when this came out in 1986. What a year!!!I was already a huge Maiden fan at the time, and after growing up with the epic releases "Number Of The Beast", "Piece Of Mind", and "Powerslave", I must say that "Somewhere In Time" was quite a refreshing change of pace...
This is one of the few Maiden releases I still go back to today when I want to hear the best of Iron Maiden. Even today, in 2003, this still sounds as fresh as ever. This was way ahead of it's time, and is nothing short of a masterpiece....
It opens on fire with "Caught Somewhere In Time", the fastest, most melodic futuristic ride of your life. The other favorites of mine are "Wasted Years", "Sea Of Madness", "Deva Vu", "Heaven Can Wait", "Stranger In A Stranger Land", and my personal favorite "The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner".....
I think "Somewhere In Time" was also one of the best melodic efforts Iron Maiden ever produced. Both Dave and Adrian were in top form here, and the solos some of their best ever. The whole band was really focused here, as you can tell by listening to the flawless muscianship. Not even one song really leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and that's a pretty rare occurance in this business. Don't miss out on this masterpiece. It's one of Iron Maiden's finest hours. This thing just plain out smokes!!!....
UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!
