Many years ago this long haired guy came into my store and i happened to have "Ace Of Spades" on by MOTORHEAD. He was pleasantly surprised and we got talking about Metal bands which led us to IRON MAIDEN when he claimed that their debut was his favourite album by them and that Paul Di'Anno was his favourite MAIDEN singer.Well i had to confess that i'd never heard the debut or Paul sing before. I set out to change that and while i don't agree with him i must admit their debut is a lot better than i thought it would be. Man there is some awesome tracks on here including "Remember Tomorrow" which sounds different from the rest with the atmosphere and reserved vocals.Some good contrasts on this one too with the heavy sections. "Phantom Of The Opera" is where i first hear what would become their signature sound with that galloping rhythm. "Transylvania" is a top three and is an instrumental while "Strange World" is the other track that really impresses with that atmosphere and beautiful guitar work. A great album and a solid 4 stars for me.
