THE REVIEW
Damn, what an album! What more can be said about this record? I really liked it. This album is from 1992, and I discovered it a bit later when I was just a kid. For me, music was 883 and that other stuff. But damn, when my friend—oh yeah, it was Brizietto—played me this record, I exploded. The building would burst when "Be Quick or Be Dead" played, or maybe with another track because, in the end, they're all great, each with their own defined reason. Then, when the usual annoying neighbor complained, I’d put on "Wasting Love" to calm things down a bit. I liked it, but I don’t know about you, so just do whatever the hell you want. And then, on the track, Nicko McBrain and Bruce, always Bruce! Sorry if that's not much.

"The three points I give it go respectively to 'Be Quick Or Be Dead,' 'Afraid To Shoot Strangers,' and the magnificent title track, a rose among the trash of a job born and lived simply badly."
"The times of 'The Number Of The Beast' are just pleasant memories, and age (and money) are beginning to be felt all too forcefully."
By carloirons
Fear Of The Dark is a heartfelt, warm album, made with heart, and precisely for this reason with some imperfections that reason would have removed.
The song alone manages to embrace all metal components: hard and powerful sound, sudden acceleration, great voice, dark theme.
By Starblazer
It's a true scraping of the barrel with horror clichéd lyrics and headache-inducing solos.
Two stars like the two best pieces, the rest is truly awful.

"If you don’t know who Iron Maiden are, listen to this album and you too will become a True Metaller!!!!!"

"Fear of the Dark has not only become one of the most loved pieces by Iron Maiden fans and an omnipresent track in every concert but is also one of the most well-known songs in all metal music history."
The tracks included can be divided into three groups, from mediocre to excellent, with some pieces that could have easily been left out.
