PIECE OF MIND

After the success of THE NUMBER... Maiden had to prove themselves. Did they succeed? Well..., yes. The songwriting has improved, but not on all tracks. The tracks worthy of attention are IMHO: WHERE EAGLES DARE; REVELATIONS; THE TROOPER; STILL LIFE; TO TAME A LAND. The rest are fillers of which I refuse to speak. But the good songs are so strong that I find 4 stars an almost inevitable rating.
