content: Yes Iron Maiden made use of keyboards on this album but do not let that detur you. This is one of the best Maiden albums of all time. All the songs from start to finish are great,the guitar work and vocal melodies are terrific. Get the re-mastered version because its louder and the original version sounds quite compared to new music today. If Maiden had one album that would fit in with modern rock radio format this would be it...IMO.
