A little weaker than the previous one, but still a decent work. The album is again far too long, and the interest does not last until the end. "Stratego" is a really good song. "Days Of Future Past" is also underrated. But when the last 4 songs take more than 40 minutes, it's a bit of an unnecessarily heavy experience. Still not bad, and I can warmly recommend at least giving it a try.

Well, that's pretty good. 100 times better than "The Final Frontier". The songs are quite good and "If Eternity Should Fail" is possibly the band's best opening track! Well, maybe not quite, but a really good song. Although the album is far too long and it's a weak thing, the songs are quite good (albeit overlong). The 18-minute closing track is also a PRETTY epic way to end the album. Good job!

A big, big disappointment. The songs are far too long, but the level is not particularly high despite that. In my opinion, the album is, in one word, simply boring. Also Dickinson, who I think is the best singer ever, sounds tired and bad. Probably the worst album from the band, or VXI. Thank God Maiden didn't stop there even though the album title suggested it.

Good, but not up to the previous ones. The songs are REALLY long and the album is about an hour and 10 minutes long, which is maybe a bit too much. Again, there are no particularly weak songs, but there are no outright top songs either. "For The Greater Good Of God" is probably the best song on the album. The music is quite dark and the album is the band's heaviest. I personally like the album quite a lot, but I understand that it is not for everyone.

Very, very good! At the beginning of the 2000s, Iron Maiden was at the second peak of their career, releasing 2 extremely strong metal records in a row. There are no bad songs, although there are fewer top songs than the previous album. The title song is one of the band's best songs. Excellent album, really underrated.

That's a comeback album for you! "Brave New World" is an almost perfect album full of great songs crowned with great individual performances. The return of Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith clearly played a big role here, 3 guitarists are already unique in themselves. The album is long, but that's not a problem for me when it comes to such a great whole. Definitely top-3 Iron Maiden albums, almost cry when listening.

Oh my god. This is the album where Iron Maiden became like a parody of itself. The atmosphere is quite close to the "SIT"-"SSOASS" scale, but the songs are weak, really weak, with a few exceptions. "The Clansman" is a classic and good in its genre, but there is not much else positive to be found. And Blaze doesn't really convince, not on this album either. Thank God the band made a real comeback 2 years later.

Everyone's beloved Bruce Dickinson left the band in 1993, and this was strongly reflected in Iron Maiden's next album. "The X Factor" is really dark and languid, but not all the songs convince. Blaze was also a questionable choice as the new singer. It's still not a completely bad album and the first 3 songs and "The Edge Of Darkness" rock! Still clearly weaker than the previous album. The real bottoming would come later...

Definitely an improvement. "Fear Of The Dark" is not a perfect album, but it contains surprisingly many great and iconic songs, being an improvement on the previous album in every aspect. The record also has a very interesting, darker atmosphere, which makes listening much more atmospheric. Quite a good album, the band's best in the 90s. The title song is damn good!

Truly a weaker album, but still not a disaster in my opinion. Returning to a simpler and flashier presentation was a mistake, there's no getting away from it. A few decent songs, such as the title track with great melodies. But a really big disappointment. Nothing lasts forever.
