REVIEW

After a relatively unpopular LP (the least popular with Bruce Dickinson) Iron Maiden released the “Fear of the Dark” album. “Fear of the dark” was a good album but after eight years of consecutive successes (1980 – 1988) it seemed that momentum was beginning to fade.

“Fear or the dark” is a well-played album with some excellent tracks, one classic Iron Maiden super hit, but also with several fillers.

Favorite tracks: Fear of the dark, Afraid to shoot strangers, Judas be my guide.
