"Maybe this is a 'you had to have been there' album. Cause this just seems like a poor hip-hop album :/. I do like the cover though." Reply

"I diagree with others that this album has lots of filler. This is far and away my favorite Maiden album, and the "filler" tracks, like Back in the Village, are some of my favorites on the record." Reply

"The year is 1989 . What was I doing in 1989 ? I was taking copious drugs whilst listening to the likes of Pixies , Material & The Jesus and Mary Chain . I was NOT listening to Galaxy 500 On Fire . Fast forward 28 years & I'm reading another best of list & note this Album has a 97% all time review..." [+] Reply

"This album is at times sloppy. The production sounds strangely out of wack. There are some complaints that can be levied against this album.
