iron maiden fear of the dark 320 kbps songs

Unfortunately, one can almost sense Dickinson's discontentment on this album. But overall, the album is not as consistently superb as the albums from the golden era, and contains quite a few uncharacteristically short songs.įear Of The Dark represents the end of another era for Iron Maiden after the tour, Bruce Dickinson left the band to begin a solo career until his return in 1999. In my opinion there is some excellent and possibly classic material here, in songs such as 'Afraid To Shoot Strangers', 'Childhood's End', 'Wasting Love', and 'Fear Of The Dark'. But in any case, it doesn't matter much because Grant's picture is excellent and sets a great mood for the album.As with No Prayer For The Dying, many fans consider Fear Of The Dark to be a sub-par album by Maiden standards. Apparently the band liked Grant's picture better than Riggs's although I wish Riggs's picture was also available for comparison. This picture is by Melvyn Grant, who has a long resume of cover artwork on many popular fantasy and horror novels. The lyrical diversity, which follows the social-oriented lyrical content started with No Prayer for the Dying adds a lot to the intellectual charm of the record and shows a band that has matured and didn’t want to repeat itself.The first thing about Fear Of The Dark that leaps out and kicks in the arse is the cover artwork, which for the first time in Maiden's career is not by Derek Riggs.

Other songs show a heavy metal band singing about the deadly consequences of AIDS, childhood poverty in war-ridden territories and a critical analysis of football hooliganism. Iron Maiden had a lot of interesting and also original songwriting ideas and also a few great lyrical inspirations on this release. Both songs were Dickinson/Gers collaborations. The album’s musical style showed some experimentation with Be Quick or Be Dead, a fast tempo song released as the album’s first single, and Wasting Love, the group’s first power ballad, which dates back to Dickinson’s first solo album, Tattooed Millionaire. Released on, it was their last studio release to feature Bruce Dickinson as the group’s lead vocalist until his return in 1999, the last to feature the work of producer Martin Birch (who retired after its release), and the first album in which Steve Harris is credited as a co-producer. Fear of the Dark is the ninth studio album released by Iron Maiden.
