Title: Yeah, It's a Classic
Review: It's hard to believe that for a few years, there were many people who thought that Maiden had sold out and would never release another good album again, but today pretty much everyone agrees that this is as much of a classic as some of their earlier stuff. The use of synthesizers broadens the bands sound, but they are not overused. "Caught Somewhere in Time" is probably my favorite Maiden song of all time along with my favorite Maiden guitar soloing of all time. "Wasted Years," "Stranger in a Strange Land," and "Heaven Can Wait" are essential Maiden as well as great live songs. "Alexander the Great" is an 8 minute history lesson, but is actually one of Maiden's better 80's epics, with a great instrumental section in the middle. The enhanced edition includes lyrics, videos for "Stranger in a Strange Land" and "Wasted Years" and phtots of the band on tour. Anyone looking into getting into Iron Maiden is encouraged not to pass this up.
