Review

Throughout the 1980s, a damning generalization held true: British metal was essentially working man's food, loosely descended from biker-meets and Northern pubs; whereas, in the States, it was an outgrowth of stadium rock, which traditionally subordinated substance to spectacle. Plug-ugly and cartoonishly morbid, Iron Maiden were typical of the Brit effort, since they effectively emphasized a driving, no-nonsense approach to the music. Among metal aficionados, this album ranks as one of the defining moments of the entire genre. Of the eight songs here--including Maiden classics like "Run to the Hills" and the title track--only "Gangland" falls flat, though it's immediately overshadowed by "Hallowed Be Thy Name," acknowledged by many as this band's apotheosis. --Andrew McGuireDigitally remastered reissue of their U.S. breakthrough album, first released on EMI in 1982 & now with 'Total Eclipse' added as a bonus track, for a total of nine cuts. An enhanced release, it also contains the CD-ROM videos to 'Run To The Hills' & 'The Number Of The Beast'. Also includes the original cover art. 1998 Raw Power release.
