Synopsis

Amazon.com
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

"Well I can't say much more about this album than the other guys have already said, except to say that the negative reviews seem to be of a non-constructive nature all I can say guys is that all forms of art be it music or other forms all borrow and steal from other genres thats the way we evolve nuff said on that. NOTB did it for me when I was a kid and still does so now although I can't bang my head to it now as much as I could do .If you're curious about Maiden then buy this album but don't be fooled into thinking that the albums after 7th son are any good though there are a few shiners dotted around in the later albums. NOTB a classic would'nt you agree?"
