Free Music Review: The textbook definition of "Heavy Metal"
Hit: 5 Stars
In recent years heavy metal has splintered into so many subgenres its hard to fathom. Some--like Thrash and Progressive Metal are wonderful, and others like grindcore aren't so hot. This CD comes from a time when Heavy Metal was just that--Heavy Metal. These songs all rock like hell, shamelessly ignoring the bland concepts of popular 80s cock rock that prevailed in 1982. The title track is probably the best metal anthem ever concieved, inescapably catchy and immensely driving and brutal. But Maiden manages to vary up their palate without ever losing their classic Anthemic metal approach on this, the more progressive subdued "Hallowed Be thy Name" with its thought provoking lyrics and the melodic "The Prisoner" show how capable Maiden was at contriving vicarious Metal without ever going "pussy or soft." If you find modern music dull, boring and commercial, check this out, you'll be glad you did

Title: NUMBER OF THE BEAST
Street Release Date: 03/26/2002
Genre: HEAVY METAL
Throughout the 1980s, a damning generalization held true: British metal was essentially working man's food, loosely descended from biker-meets and Northern pubs; whereas, in the States, it was an outgrowth of stadium rock, which traditionally subordinated substance to spectacle. Plug-ugly and cartoonishly morbid, Iron Maiden were typical of the Brit effort, since they effectively emphasized a driving, no-nonsense approach to the music. Among metal aficionados, this album ranks as one of the defining moments of the entire genre. Of the nine songs here--including Maiden classics like "Run to the Hills" and the title track--only "Gangland" falls flat, though it's immediately overshadowed by "Hallowed Be Thy Name," acknowledged by many as this band's apotheosis. --Andrew McGuire
