Iron Maiden provided their last strong album before a series of flops in the 90's with the "Seventh son of a seventh son". The commercial appeal of "Can I play with madness" and to a relative extent "The evil that men do" (the latter being an excellent track though) is weighted up by ambitious epics of the title track. This contains great mellow guitar playing, prog-inspired drumming and tons of inspired metal guitars, be it in the form of riffing or soloing. No wonder that this album became such an influential landmark in the development of prog-friendly power and heavy metal. What is more, it is often acknowledged by pure prog-metal aficionados.
