The first offering from the new Maiden incarnation, with Bruce Dickinson back in the fold. This single comes as a 2-CD set, with the title track on each of course.

The opening bars are unmistakably Maiden, with Brucie's voice slotting back in as if he'd never been away, and it is quite surprisingly good. Don't know why it wasn't called "Your Time Will Come" mind you, as that is the hook in the chorus.

The other four tracks featured are all recorded live on their 1999 tour (and the 2000 dates are listed, gallingly showing just the one solitary night in the UK - London of course), with two of them coming - surprisingly - from the Blaze Bayley era. "Man On The Edge" is undoubtedly the best offering from that unhappy time for the band, and "Futureal" is also one of the more memorable ones.

We also get two classics - "Powerslave" and one from yet another era, with Paul Di'Anno's "Killers". All as good as you would expect.

As is the way these days, there is also an enhanced video track on each CD. "The Wicker Man" features good old mascot Eddie pursued by a mad crowd with torches flaming, and "Futureal" - filmed on the last tour - sees him joining the band on-stage as is his wont.
