"I struggle to warm to this one - it feels like they're trying to repeat Thick As A Brick, but don't quite make the mark. It has its flashes, but I don't return to this one as often.

"It's a toss up between this one and No Prayer for the dying for my least favourite Bruce Dickinson Maiden album I was so disappointed when I heard this after their three previous triumphant return of Bruce albums.

"This is a really good album, almost sounds like a Beatles' tribute/pastiche at times especially on the wonderful Laura, a kind of John Lennon psychedelic ballad, and the drony, Scandinavian skies.

"Extremely underrated. Okay, it's a little cheesy, but the guitar melodies/harmonies on this album are incredible." Reply
"Im starting to see a trend of people being too sensitive for a lot of good music on this website.

If you think this is ac..." [+] Reply

"Much better than MC5 indeed, than the NY Dolls as well, and about as great as The Stooges at their peak. Some really dirty-ass proto-punk with furious guitar riffs, a flawless record, and it's only 25 minute long. Get on it." Reply
