IRON MAIDEN

The album overall is not as progressive metal as its preview suggests as it has the edgy and hard to even shocking lyrical choices that are typical of what became the modern hard edged mature content orientated sound. The album puts the parental advisory for mature content long before there were labels which makes it controversial to the mainstay of musical listening experiences and to as of which as time progresses can still be viewed as an album that sets the pace into providing the first shocking lyrics even by today's modern standards but once again can be viewed as a musical direction entirely lacking. The album cover is one- of -a kind Artistry and in this regard collectors worthy reflecting the modern shift. The album is an influence towards the inclined musician not the casual listener as even an enthusiast would have a hard time to discern why they are actually listening to it voluntarily.

The last song on the album in having long drawn out instrumentals returns to the progressive metal founding aspect of the album which suggests it would and should continue into this avenue of progressive metal instrumentals to on purposely create songs with instrumentals and without many vocals on purposely towards providing a listening experience but far and between as it actually turns out. Presently speaking since albeit they are not dead yet or returned into the spirit but have willingly departed from the progressive founding elements of their progressive metal on very many occasions. Iron Maiden decidedly went into the direction of becoming a performance giant in the making from a following where large audiences are more than welcome towards the modern entertainment into the sort of large arena's where people cheer throughout and in this regard losing the ways of traditional/classical music with its expected conduct and responsibility.
