An improvement to be sure, but I do believe its quality has been greatly exaggerated. This is an album full of great heavy Metal tracks, some catchy vocal lines and decent riffs. Songwriting has definitely been expanded from his first three solo albums, and there’s a decent amount of variety to this one.

But does it compare to most of Maiden’s work? Absolutely not. The album is quite reliant on Bruce’s vocals – which do sound great, but even with that said, most of his vocal performance in Maiden was better, and even the song “Tears of a Dragon” on his second solo album tops everything on this. Musically, again, it’s stronger than all his previous solo albums, but about on par with Maiden’s weakest material.

Looking at this album in isolation, not comparing it to Maiden, and not relying on Bruce’s legendary vocalist status, all it is, is a pretty damn solid Heavy Metal album. No more, no less. In my ears it is not the legendary classic many people seem to claim. It does end up being kind of weird when my favorite songs on the album are the softer/more Hard Rock songs (the last three).

The second best album from Bruce's solo career. He topped this one with The Chemical Wedding a year later. Man of Sorrows is my favourite track from the album. Darkside of Aquarius and Road to Hell have a Maidenesque sound and are the other highlights on the album. Taking the Queen and the title track are amazing. The combo of Omega and Arc of Space close out the album really well. The bonus track Ghost of Cain is better than some of the songs on the album!

Nothing interesting here. Can be skipped.

멜로디 출중하고, 임팩트 있는 곡들로 가득해서 놀라움. 이게 애드리언 스미쓰의 역량인지, 로니 지인진 몰겠지만, 메이든 이름으로 세븐선 다음 앨범으로 나왔었더라면 더 대박 이였을 것 같음. 워낙 90년 이후 메이든은 지루 해져서리 매우 비교 됨

브루스옹 솔로 앨범중에 제일 들을만하다.
level 16   90/100
Roy Z와 Adrian Smith가 가세하면서 음악이 더 풍부해지고 다이나믹해졌다. 전작부터 구축한 브루스 디킨슨 스타일의 포텐이 터진 앨범. 굉장한 수작이라 킬링트랙을 뽑긴 힘들지만, 그 중에서도 5번과 8번트랙은 백미.

생각보다 뛰어난 헤비 메탈 앨범. 할포드의 솔로 행적과 크게 비교 된다.
