[ about this release ]


While 1992's Fear of the Dark was definitely more of a
return to form for Iron Maiden, it was still wasn't quite on
par with their exceptional work from the 80's. Easily an
improvement over 90's lackluster No Prayer for the Dying
(both musically and sonically), the album debuted on the
U.K. charts at #1. The opening "Be Quick or Be Dead," proved
Maiden could easily hold their own with younger thrash metal
bands, "From Here To Eternity" contained lyrics that seem
better fitted for Motley Crue, while the expected epic album
closing title track would become a concert staple (all 3
tracks were released as U.K. singles). While Maiden records
of the past would contain an album's worth of first rate
material, Fear of the Dark is again weighed down with too
many drab compositions - "Childhood's End," "Chains of
Misery," "Judas Be My Guide," etc. The serene "Wasting Love"
proves to be one of Maiden's better ballads of the 90's,
while the rockers "Fear Is the Key" and "Afraid To Shoot
Strangers" are also standouts. Fear of the Dark would be
singer Bruce Dickinson's final studio album with the band
(until their late-90's reunion), who publicly voiced that he
felt the band had run its course. - Greg Prato
