It's my favorite too! and as the years go by I find more people who feels like I do Smile

I have all Maiden studio albums sans the BB two.  Perhaps I need to rectify this.  I do remember "browsing" this CD in a store in the late 90s and thinking that each song started basically the same, so I didn't bother listening further.

It's a very good album ,but there is often a lengthy introduction with each song, it's tiring...

^ Can agree with the looong, generally quieter intros, but it just works for me. And Harris never sounded better.

I would say it's proggy rather than out and out prog.  Regardless, it's my favourite of the Bruce era (my favourite Maiden album is Killers by a long shot).  I love the sinister atmosphere that pervades the whole album, it made his operatic delivery a little more palatable for me.  And there are some really electrifying passages of music, the kind of stuff that you don't really expect from Maiden.  One of their boldest and most well executed albums.

Yes quite true, something they did also on their last two albums. I dig those longer intros though. I think it suits the subject matters of their songs.
