i'd actually argue this is better than fear of the dark and no prayer for the dying

Fear has some decent tracks, but there’s way more boring shit on there

I just can't get down with Blaze's vox at all. They're so bad.

I think Blaze is quite a good vocalist but his style just does not fit the band at all

Remember i was shocked af when i bought this on cd as a kid

I was familiar with Iron Maiden having DiAnno before Dickinson but no one had ever talked about Blaze to me so when the vox came in on this i didnt know what to think

I do agree, zac, he is indeed a good vocalist but a terrible match for what Maiden was aiming for. I dont want to imagine this poor guy having to try and sing Dickinson era songs live lol

Lord of The Flies and Man on The Edge are bangers tho. The latter could easily be a DiAnno era type song
