Afraid To Shoot Strangers rolls on with insanely catchy choruses and lead harmony melodies while the terribly average
Fear Is The Key is left in the middle of Afraid and the awesome, epic drum-armies and intro-lead guitars of Childhoods End. And God almighty, I just love that clanking bass sound that has become a trademark for Steve Harris (along with the machine gun-bass pose on the stage monitor, that is:) The galloping rising of tempo mid-song for the solos takes the neck on a ride.
The epic "Fear of the Dark" closes this album in beauty, slightly over 7:16 in length it always ends too quickly. It's definitely the best of the album
Many fans consider this album a sub-par album by maiden standards, in my opinion there is some excellent songs and possibly classical material here However this album will not be considered in the golden era of the band
The music:
1. Be Quick or Be Dead- a drum roll and the album takes off with some very Maiden-sounding guitars. When Bruce comes in however, the listener notices that he definitely gained rawness to his voice and that added aggression is what actually adds to some of these songs. It definitely adds to this song. The verses are very up in your face and in the chorus, Bruce returns to his usual singing style. Musically, the guitars kick butt! They sound just like the Maiden of old! Nicko is drumming very well on this one. The solo here is pretty good! I like it! The bass is intense as usual. Overall, a very aggressive first track. Great song!
2. From Here to Eternity- I hear people throw praise to this song, but I really don't like this one. The music on this one isn't that great, the drums aren't cool, the bass doesn't do anything Steve-like and it just comes off as uninspired. This song should've been a b-side or not released at all. Sorry, I just don't dig what they did with this one.
3. Afraid to Shoot Strangers- This song is a very soft, ambient song. The guitars are tastefully played and Bruce's voice sounds GOLDEN on this song! THIS is a classic! This might be among their best songs! The military theme is very well done and the drums are kept simple, but they do the trick. It sounds really good, but it has an eerie atmosphere brooding behind Bruce's voice and the music. It has a feeling of uneasiness and it's a very good song for that reason. Then out of nowhere, a BRILLIANT guitar lead comes in and the song takes a new direction! It slowly gets heavier until it bursts into a normal Maiden style song and the solos begin. The whole song is GREAT! It's a near 7 minute journey and it includes some of Maiden's best guitar work. The bass is full of fury in this middle section and Nicko's fills have gotten better since Seventh Son (again, haven't heard NPftD yet). All in all, this is a VERY good song! The guitar work is some of the best they've made and it doesn't become stale. Classic!
4. Fear is the Key- This song is literally a chore for me to listen to. I don't find any greatness or inspiration behind it. This song sounds like a Whitesnake or Bon Jovi groove. I really don't enjoy listening to this. I like this style when Whitesnake or Bon Jovi do it, but hearing Maiden do it just doesn't sound good. This one should've been omitted.
5. Childhood's End- This song starts off with a cool guitar intro. Then some very cool drumming starts! I really like the beat that Nicko does for this intro! This song isn't exactly Maiden-sounding, but I do like what they're doing in this song. Bruce's voice sounds good on this song, the drumming levels up in intensity, the guitars are good, but they aren't really up front except for their leads and solos. Steve's bass isn't that audible in this song surprisingly. I can hear it during the instrumental sections, but not when Bruce is singing. Overall, this is a pretty good song. Not the best here, but it's not terrible. It earns its place here.
6. Wasting Love- A ballad? Maiden doing a ballad? As absurd as it sounds, this song is actually very good. The guitars are still Maiden, the music is still honest and not aimed to sell, and Bruce's emotion is in top form! It is indeed still Maiden so there is an instrumental section that has a good groove to it. This isn't like the other songs of the album, though, because the instrumental section stays in the same tempo/time/feel as the rest of the song. Overall, I do have to say that Maiden is good at making ballads! This is a very well-put together song.
7. The Fugitive- This one starts off with some cool drums and signature Maiden riff! It definitely has a very good groove behind it and the guitar melodies are purely AWESOME! The verses are softer and Bruce's voice sings it very well! Then the verse builds up. This is definitely an epic song. Bruce's soaring voice and the driving music make this one one of the coolest and most epic-sounding songs on the album. I don't really have much to say about this song. It's a very good song though! Solo is great too!
8. Chains of Misery- This one is just there. It isn't something so terrible that it shouldn't have seen light, but it's also not "Oh wow, this rocks!". It's just there. The music is slightly bland and the vocals aren't done in the best way. Lyrics are a little lacking too. I just find this song kinda boring overall.
9. The Apparition- This song has received so much hate for so little reason! The song freaking ROCKS! For what the song actually is, it's AMAZING! They don't do much to change the song throughout, but it is very good! They basically start off with one riff and keep it going through most of the song. The only break from that is the instrumental section. This song has a very eerie atmosphere to it and Bruce's voice is pretty good on here. The solo is very good and it has an amazing groove. People hate on this song and call it Maiden's worst song ever. I think this song isn't exactly the BEST thing they've done, but it's closer to that. It's a GREAT song. I like it very much.
10. Judas Be My Guide- This song starts off with some very eerie, but melodic and epic sounding guitars and then it goes into a short little solo and Bruce comes in and this song is very EPIC! Bruce's voice soars over some very well done guitar parts and the drumming makes it even cooler! The air siren is back! Bruce really shines through this song! The guitar melodies on here are just fantastic! This song could've come off of an album like Seventh Son... or maybe even Powerslave. The song is that quality that we're used to from Maiden and it's a very underrated classic! I'd say this would have to be the third classic this album produced. Great song!!!
11. Weekend Warrior- Ok, this song is garbage, worst Maiden song I've heard. All the other reviews hit this one on the bull's eye. This song is absolute crap. It doesn't sound like Maiden at all. I don't even know what it sounds like, but even the title is kinda garbage.
12. Fear of the Dark- This is the classic that people always praise this album for, the title track. The guitars on here are very epic! In terms of feel, this song is similar to track 3, but this one is done in a very different way and isn't that similar. Bruce's voice is very dark and very brooding. This would be a perfect song for Halloween. It's very eerie and very creepy. The lyrics are the same way. The riffs, once the song kicks up to full volume, are very well written, Bruce's voice is in its full, true glory, and the band plays very well on this song. the 7 minute epic that closes off this album leaves the listener feeling that they at least saved the best for last. The drumming has a lot of changes in the song, the guitars have a lot of great leads, melodies, and moments throughout, and Steve's bass is purely amazing! This is a masterpiece! Great song!!!
Verdict- I wouldn't recommend this album if you are new to Maiden. I'd say start off with Powerslave , Seventh Son of a Seventh Son , or even the newer Brave New World . These three albums are very solid, classic Maiden albums and this one, while not terrible, is just lacking the quality that Maiden is known for. The cover for this album is among one of their best covers, though, I will admit. Overall, it's worth buying, but don't start with this album.
