I have always referred to him as a great singer or a very skilled singer... I love the first two Maiden albums, and that sound is also a result of his singing style, his charisma, etc. etc. What really annoys me is when, because he was ousted from the band (for reasons I've already mentioned, which are perfectly plausible, by the way), people see him as an underappreciated and mistreated musical genius, without whom Maiden have lost their sound... that's not true; the Maiden sound is made up of Harris's riffs (a great bassist and composer), the style of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith (two absolutely amazing guitarists). It's true that Di'Anno's voice was distinctive and beautiful, and we all still like it, but please, let's not diminish the figure of Bruce Dickinson, educated, versatile, talented, gritty, one of the standout figures of the band...

Especially that thing about the "hypothetical invasions of hideous monsters" could have been spared... if you don't know a damn thing about an album, trust me, there's no need to write anything about it.

Um (shitty keyboard) The exact initial sentence of my previous post was "I didn’t give you a shitty grade because you copied or didn’t copy..."

I didn't give you crap because you copied or didn't copy... I judged the review based on its numerous nonsense driven by some kind of dislike towards the Steve Harris group. You (or whoever it is, I don't care) wrote things that a true Maiden fan or someone who has informed themselves about this band shouldn’t write... Look, I didn't even insult you. If you stopped acting like a kid and read my previous posts, we could discuss your review instead of continuing this pointless talk about copying...
Anyway, you didn't copy; maybe you took inspiration because you evidently agreed with what was written in the review on Ondarock. But I really have to tell you, you chose the shittiest review to take inspiration from... even there the ideas are confused, there are the same imperfections, like what year this great philosopher was or that after him the Maiden collapsed (when in fact he was a damn drunk who didn't even go on stage sober, even though he was very good as a singer). I'm waiting for serious responses.

aha... maybe! But even if an album reminds you of unpleasant moments, it doesn’t mean you should judge it recklessly!!!

Here we are discussing the history of heavy metal, and you come up with X Factor? Come on...

I've written what I know and what I think, since I admire this group for what they've done in the past...this album is a 5, at most a 4 if you want to be harsh. If someone wants to bash it...they just need to have at least plausible reasons...

And this is just to lower the average...damn...

6(66) eheh... "Run to the Hills" is universally recognized as one of the most epic, evocative, and gripping songs by Maiden (here, there’s no debate about taste; it simply is what it is). The lyrics are also very beautiful and intelligent, centered on the extermination of Native Americans carried out by English colonizers in North America... "Total Eclipse" is fantastic, little known, but truly a gem: the riff in the chorus (...“sunrise is gone”...) is strikingly relevant, and the lyrics show us the most catastrophic and apocalyptic side of the English formation... "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is then a milestone, with a dark and desperate pace, dealing with the fears of a death row inmate. Another notable text for its intelligence and evocative power. All the vocal parts are entrusted to the golden throat of a young Bruce Dickinson (nicknamed at the time "Air Raid Siren"). One of the best Heavy Metal singers in history... I’m sorry, but this album is a waste in your hands; you know and understand jack about Maiden... just leave it alone.

5) I’m at a loss for words… Meanwhile, the song is undeniably one of the highlights of the album. Starting with the original opening riff, it’s a concentrate of speed and power, one of those tracks that have set and will set the standard in Heavy Metal: heavy yet extremely catchy. Fantastic, and no wonder it’s one of the unmissable songs in their lengthy setlists at concerts. The lyrics are based on a dream of Steve Harris, which he decided to set to music considering it fitting with the band’s sound. That’s all there is to it. The album is not at all dedicated to satanism in any way; it has nothing to do with that at all… It shares the same title as that song because it was evidently the most impactful title, or because they considered that song the most representative of the album, or simply because they thought it sounded cool… but the MaIdeN have never been satanists. This has been said over and over; even note the irony with which the album cover is designed: it’s Eddie controlling the very lord of evil like a puppet…
