There once was a time when I would have rated these albums
as 5 stars, but I have fallen out of that stage of my life. I have to admit though, when I was in high school,
and these albums came out, most folk at my high school probably couldn’t have
been paid to listen to these cds. That
was in the 90s, and when pop music had fallen to new lows in quality. When I was a teen, Iron Maiden was a band
that I could turn to that was a few notches better than what I was hearing on
the local rock radio stations, which didn’t want to have anything to do with
heavy metal. Also, this is a good one to
listen to in order to find the roots of metal, which did not use compression in
their recording. Many of these songs are
head banging classics, and in my opinion, they sound better on this album than
they did on the albums themselves.
The best tracks on this one are Hollowed By Thy Name, and
Number of the Beast
