Negative Positive
Title: dark
Review: I found this album a bit boring on the first listen, but because it's Maiden I gave it a chance. I found that after repeated listenings, this album grew on me in a big way. What I noticed was a heavy, dark and complex work. It kind of was a departure from the bands other material. Out of the 2 Blaze albums, I'd say this was the better one. I've had a chance to see Maiden (w/ Bruce) perform some of these songs live and it came across better b/c these songs seemed to be more written for Bruce. It's not a Maiden album I can just pop in like Powerslave or NOB; I have to be in mood to listen to it. I find that enhances the experience. As for those who trash this album, you obviously cannot appreciate complex, epic pieces such as these. Go listen to some new Metallica or the Indigo Girls. A bit different, but this is a masterpiece in its own right.
