Somewhere In Time [Remastered] - Original Score

Somewhere In Time

Advantages: A marvelous array of sounds, Maiden really let themselves experiment.
Disadvantages: Not as harsh a sound on some of the songs as i like my metal to be.

This is the first time Maiden used a synthasiser which means its a relatively new sound for them, Caught Somewhere In Time, Heaven Can Wait and Sea Of Madness are my recommendations. Vocals arent exactly stretching the lead singers voice range but the lyrics in this album are quite a lot like story telling. This and the slightly more mainstream sound mean that its great to put the cd in an just sit back for an hour and enjoy great music. If you're in need of some angry heavy metal fist pumping and headbanging (as we all are) then i would recommend you try one of Maidens earlier albums. This album still holds its own though and is worthy of the Iron Maiden symbol it carries along the top. ...

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

Somewhere in Time DVD

Advantages: Feel Good Movie, Soothing and Touching
Disadvantages: Incredible plot

This is a change of image for my favorite Superman. This film is for the hopeless romantics such as me. The plot is not credible to happen in real life but who cares! This is not the first movie that used incredible plot. Hence despite this and some hard to believe things like when Richard just closes his eyes and concentrate to travel through time and a lot of unbelievable coincidences, I still found the movie worth my time. It was so sweet. It touched my romantic and sentimental heart. Imagine the hero sacrificing everything in his present time just to search for his past love. That is true love and it hits my soft spot. The acting may not be superb but passable. The soundtrack is very impressive. This is what I love most. I have watched this movie twice and each time it did not fail to make me fall in love again. ...

Review of Somewhere In Time (DVD)

Somewhere in time never gets old

Advantages: Some of the best material thats come out of british heavy metal
Disadvantages: The remastered version is arguably worse in terms of feel

Somewhere in time is one of those albums that may not initially catch you over number of the beast and seventh son or powerslave. But its probably one of the best maiden have ever released since the songs are so well written and fall into place which makes it one of the most consistent albums of the band. The band use of synthesizers makes the guitars sound refreshing compared to their previous stuff. its hard to decide whether this or seventh son is truly their best album but with the amazing tracks wasted years, Sea of Madness, Stranger in a strange land and alexander the great. I would definitely recommend this to any fan of the genre and especially a maiden fan like myself. Also Check out Somewhere on Tour which is a very amazing live performance. ...
