IRON
MAIDEN - Powerslave
EMI
Probably the most catchy Iron Maiden release that I've ever heard. And I've been into metal for over 30 years! The chorus's are epic and the rhythms are unique as all hell. The leads amazing and Bruce on vocals never disappoints! The riffs and vocals are how this album shines. Not a song here that is "bad" or "bogus." They all are amazing! I'm surprised that I became a Maiden fan so much later on in their career. But that's alright, I'm able to enjoy it now! The guitars and vocals especially. They put on a great live performance as well! The songs sound as good as they are on the album.
This whole album rocks, there isn't a song on here
that's devoid of glory. Every song is a
highlight and for a 40 year old album the production is good. I got the remastered version but still! All the instruments were well mixed. Hands down, my favorite Maiden release! The songs are just epic! The lead guitars smoked as well. They sound just as good live as they do on
the album. Maybe even better! These guys are the pioneers in heavy
metal. If you just take a listen to this
one if you're a critic and you'll hear what I mean. They're a 5-piece on this one live there were
6 members. Man do they crush live!
Bruce sounds great on here and he had to battle throat
cancer. Of course, this was way back in the early 80's when he was in his
prime. He still sounds good though at 64 years old. I'm glad I got to see them
perform before they retire. It doesn't
seem like they're going to though, I think there's still the fire in all of
them. I still need to build up my Maiden
collection I only own two of their releases.
Good thing that there's a local record store that stocks a lot of
METAL!! I made sure to get this one
first since I've heard it before. It's
no surprise that there's 30 reviews for this album! A lot of say about it!
Do yourself a favor if you're a newbie in heavy metal
start with this Maiden album! Buy the
CD, don't just stream it. But well, if
you're going to stream it first get a physical copy next if you aren't
convinced. The guitars, vocals and vibe
is all there. "Aces High" and
"2 Minutes To Midnight" are my favorite songs from this one. But they're all good. The originality in the guitars and Bruce's voice is top notch. The range is there and Bruce just
smokes. This guy can really sing. The guitars go well with the vocals. Do yourself a favor and pick this up it's
worth its weight in gold!
