Title: Another Maiden Album
Review: Another Maiden album that is part of a whole line of albums that most consider "classics." Relentless touring for this album made Iron Maiden much bigger than they were before, especially in America. "2 Minutes to Midnight" is arguably Maiden's best known song. "Aces High" is one of my favorite of Maiden's shorter songs, with great vocals and guitar solo. The title track is one of the greatest mini-epics that Iron Maiden has written (along with "Caught Somewhere in Time"). I wish Maiden had done more songs with an actual riff; the Egyptian themed riff is awesome, and the guitar solo section in the middle is one of their better interludes. "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is based on the epic poem of the same name, except, unlike the poem, this song is actually interesting. This is probably one of Iron Maiden's more accessible albums, making this a great album to get into their music.
