Full review
This album sees the first recordings made with Blaze Bayley, replacement to Bruce Dickinson. On the whole, the album is very good. The Sign of The Cross, is an excellent opener, and has become a maiden classic. Man on The Edge, is one of maidens best songs of recent times, it is fast, heavy, and catchy. Lord of The Flies, and Fortunes of War are among the highlights. The album is quite experimental, but well worth a listen. Good quality, as you'd expect from maiden. Influenced the new style of Virual 11 and Brave New World, A great performance from Janick Gers. First chance to sample the Vocals of Blaze. He is not like Bruce, but still has a great style.
