"Very good tribute album, compared to "Call to Irons" 1 and 2. What I really hate about those 2 is the death metal vocals on every other song. This isn't the case with this album. Although some covers are laughable, most are interesting. I would say 2/3 of this album is good, compared to 1/2 or so for "Call to Irons".I think the best part is the price - you get a double album for the price of a single one. Great value.Add a star if you have the "Call to Irons" albums.P.S. I liked the intro to NotB in Russian and laughed listening to instrumental version of the Trooper."
This is a fantastic Tribute CD! Well produced & packaged!

"I usually hate tribute CDs. With the exception of this fine masterpiece and the SAVATAGE Tribute CD! There are some great bands here performing like champs! Listen to Sebastian wail on CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED and that singer from DOFKA does a mighty fine Bruce and the solos are just incredible on Powerslave! Crowbar's track REMEMBER TOMORROW is very moody and trippy! This is a double disc and I can listen straight through both discs with shere excitement! Fantastic tribute!"
A Decent but Mixed Bag

"This Iron Maiden tribute 2-CD is a hodge-podge of mostly lesser known bands trying thier best to recreate some of Maiden's finest. The production and quality is sorely lacking on only a small number offerings, otherwise the production is pretty decent for an independent issue. Sebastian Bach's effort at "Children of the Damned" is the highlight of the whole package. Other notables are Eleventh Hour with "Alexander the Great" and The Quill's "Where Eagles Dare".This 2-CD is not without its comical moments either as there is an instrumental version of "The Trooper" accompanied by trombone and saxophone. Overall, not a bad take, but only for the most serious of Maiden fans."
