This album is an absolute classic and very much a product of its time in terms of production - Steve Harris said this album was much more popular in Europe, possibly due to its proggy overtones. Each to there own of course, but to me this is peak maiden
I'm old and don't care for metal with synth. The peak for me was NOTB, POM and PS. You make a good point about Europe, most people in Euro love the prog, I don't think it's as popular here in the States. But as you said, to each there own, you like more prog sound than me. Regardless, Up the Irons.
For a song with Dream in the title Dream of Mirrors is better IMO. Don't know what a hardcore fan is considered. I've been listening to Maiden since 1982.
Alright, but I like Dream of Mirrors lyric more - I only dream in black and white I only dream 'cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white To save me from myself And Bruce belts these lines out.
For snyth and prog fans. yep. Most metal heads I know agree that the first 5 albums was their peak. A new base of Maiden fans started here, many in Europe.
@@metalmark1214 "Synth and prog fans" is only in context of Maiden. And it's kinda strange to me when people say this album was popular in Europe, with Maiden being a european band and all.
One of the best shows Maiden professionally recorded was done during this world tour in 1988, which included this one and a number of Seventh Son songs. It's called Maiden England. The visuals are awesome and the sound is incredible. You should check out. You won't want to return to the studio versions.
Great live show and stuff but I’d prefer the studio Bruce’s vocals are way better , but I will say I can hear the bass more in that live show then the studio.
Exactly my thoughts at first listening to this Album, back then. But after years of listening to music, not watching music, really listening, this is one of my all time favourite Albums.This is not a Song compilation from an Artist, This Album is one Song splitted in parts. My suggestion is: listen to the music while not expecting to get the old stuff. This frees your mind and brings you to new horizons. If Maiden or Vivaldi, 50 Cent or Katie Perry - if you like it, like it. If not, try later, maybe years later.
When you listen to enough progressive music, you will find out that some transitions are abruptly made on purpose. This is a way in progressive music to shock the listener, immersing him into a new state.
I'm gonna say some that might be weird and here it is: First, this is one of my all-time Maiden albums, the thing is, I used to enjoy this one the most on Sunday afternoons, yes! To me, every day of the week has its own feel to it. For example, most people that I know say: It's Friday and my body knows it! ...so that was my thing with this album, Sundays for me were more enjoyable. Another thing that I discovered about Steve Harris's bass line, especially before the solos on this song, Moonchild, and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son at the solos section(that you will be blown away, BTW, Hurm) try this, anybody; if you relax your stomach on these bass sections and feel the tone changes, you'll be able to experience something amazing, try it when you're driving if you have some clear bass in your car, jump in the freeway and just feel the music this way. Some people will actually feel a real experience. Trust, just trust!
Literally the greatest song ever made and my absolute favorite song ever...that said... Senjutsu is a brilliant masterpiece and Maiden are still the greatest band in history! UP THE IRONS 🤘
Hopefully after you finish this album, you do Maiden England ‘88 there live recording from Birmingham NEC promoting this album, since you did Live after Death promoting the Powerslave album.
Iron Maiden had dominated the 80's decade, along w/ bands like Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Ratt, Van Halen, etc... but near the end of the decade, there was a shift in the metal scene going towards a heavier edge. Bands like Metallica, Anthrax, Guns N' Roses, Megadeth... were pushing the guitars to be heavier, faster... so there was some pressure to keep up. AC/DC had gone from selling 10 million copies in 1980 to barely selling half million per album by 1987, just cos they were playing the same stuff over and over... I'd like to say that Iron Maiden delivered beautifully in 1988 w/ 'Seventh son of a seventh son'. There were bands like Van Halen and Ratt that got 'lighter'... Van Halen kept scoring hits, while Ratt bottomed out by 1991. Judas Priest delivered the 'Painkiller' album in 1990 that cranked up the intensity to thrash metal levels. Iron Maiden switched guitar players w/ Janick Gers replacing Adrian Smith in 1990 for the album 'No prayer for the dying'... Steve Harris sensed what Guns N' Roses and Skid Row were doing, so he pushed for a raw, heavy metal record. They still scored a UK #1 single, the funky Bruce Dickinson song 'Bring your daughter to the slaughter'... (which turned off a few hardcore Maiden fans) but it still had great songs like 'Holy smoke'... 'Tailgunner' ... 'Run silent run deep'... 'Mother Russia'. In 1992, Bruce Dickinson heard the tapes of a band named Dream Theater, who were about to release their 2nd album 'Images & words'... he felt that Iron Maiden needed to 'get their game up' on the album 'Fear of the dark'...A very diverse album, it hit #1 on the UK charts, but in America, their popularity was falling in the wake of grunge rock by Nirvana and Pearl Jam... (Dream Theater saw their album 'Images & words' sell a half million copies in the US by 1993). Exhausted by the workload & conflicts in Maiden, Bruce Dickinson announced he would leave at the end of their 1993 tour for a solo career... Literally, the worst timing for heavy metal, which also saw Judas Priest's singer Rob Halford quit the band in 1992. While Judas Priest would not release a new album until 1997 w/ a new singer... Iron Maiden (without producer Martin Birch to guide them) settled on vocalist Blaze Bayley and released 'The X Factor' album in 1995... Steve Harris says it's one of his favorite Maiden records, being the producer and key songwriter. He felt it was the best record he could make under the worst circumstances... Maiden fans refused to accept the dark 'new' Maiden or Blaze Bayley as the singer of Iron Maiden.
Hurm, have you had a chance to revisit this song? Being five months later, and having heard almost the entire corpus of Maiden, give it another listen. For most of us diehards, it's one of the best!
You really cant judge a maiden song from one listening, It takes 3-5 times to really appriciate maidens deeper stuff. Infinite dreams is one of the best songs in history... but you have to be patient.
You're right Hurm even synth filled Maiden is better then most music of today. I'm old and use to heavy metal of my youth of NOTB and POM. This is a half decent song for this album. The best song with dream in the title is Dream of Mirrors, on Brave New World, the first album after Bruce came back, but you'll get there. On to Can I Play with Madness. Hurm Keep rocking Maiden Hurm.
If we get through this entire album and you don't get shook by a single song lol.. I'm worried for the next song now lol. Another great honest reaction :). I'm actually dreading you getting to 2 albums from the 90s, a a couple from the 2000s...
all became overproduced by late eighties, specially after the success of bon jovi, europe and def leppard with the mutt lange touch. apart from that, tecno pop had synths with sounds come from outer space and it began a race for sounding ultramodern, which today feels kitschy
I reckon that,after reacting to a whole lot of IM mainly through the early 80's era,Hurmit comes into this ond with a certain amount of subconcious expectations. Which is only natural,of course. I guess what im trying to say is,he wasnt ready for the level of change in their sound. Like Senjutsu,it takes a few listens to really appreciate.Especially with it being a concept album. Up the Irons from Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷
Who wants to keep sounding the same for 40 years?!?!? Maiden's sound is quite different again through the 90s and through to the 2000s. It continually evolves over the years
I'd love to see a metal band do cover of this song without any synth and do electric guitar, ahh, f*ck, why not😂. Now that would be a banger.🤘#spoiledbymetal
It is true. While metal was in its absolute heyday when this album was released in 1988, this was Maidens' last album where almost every song was incredible. After this album, there were a few good songs on the albums but Dickenson and Smith left to pursue solo projects and didn't rejoin until years later. Dickenson sooner than Smith and that is why they now have 3 guitarists. But in reality, Maiden stopped being REALLY good from a writing perspective when they stopped doing the concept albums. Almost every album until no prayer for the dying was a concept album. And they rocked🤘 after that I feel like they kinda lost their way a bit.
For me Iron Maiden’s discography ends with this album that is simply outstanding and magnific and my favourite one from their discography. Personally i don’t like any of the following albums they published, but they still remain one of the best bands ever. Up the irons👊
I’m with you Hurm. The synth sound. Powerslave has such a classic metal tone. The “old equipment” was great, crunchy, clacking strings, chugging alone…mean. This album does have good songs but I don’t agree with others as this as the pinnacle. Powerslave was. They never recaptured that tone and mix.
I don't get the synth hate for this album. I think the synth sounds fine on this one. It sounded a little weird in parts of Somewhere In Time to me as it sounded a little too echoey or something and I still liked that album, some of my favorite songs are in that one but I think in 7th Son, synths fit about perfectly with other instruments and blend well together. I tend to think it's just resistance to change. I hope your spirit doesn't get broken until the 2nd side of this album just because of your synth dislike.
Seventh Son... the Maiden album then when it was released received a lot of hate, but was soon to be recognized as one of Maiden's masterpieces, the last of a golden era.
@@frankj10000 man, I remember it very well. The synth stuff and more commercial friendly Can I Play ... Raised a LOT of eyebrows. But yes, No Prayer was a huge letdown, for me too.
@@MrDantres In my memory those kinds of complaints had already been made about their use of guitar synths on Somewhere In Time, although not to the extent that Judas Priest were criticised for Turbo at the same time. From what I remember Seventh Son in 1988 was regarded more as an improvement on Somewhere In Time, especially because of its more progressive nature and the fact that it was a concept album.
Hurm1t --- Don't bother reacting to every song on any Maiden albums past this one. Well... let me alter this --- fear of the Dark is a pretty good album. Otherwise, it's garbage after that. MAYBE 1 good song for every 9 pieces of ahit. All of their future stuff after Fear of the Dark is just some new formula for boring music that they keep rehashing. Don't waste your time after Fear of the Dark.
@@vaznussis8729 I can call 20 years of iron maiden music from 2000 forward boring because I've been bored by listening to all of it. ...And, I was one of the biggest die hards 1 throughout the eighties and 1/2 of the nineties. They lost me with all albums after fear of the dark. I can point to 1 or maybe 2 decent songs on every album after that. But, the other songs are absolutely painful listening for me.
@@benjaminrowlett6960 well I for one didn't find the albums Brave New World and Dance Of Death boring, and there are some decent songs on the rest. A Matter Of Life Death might just fit in the boring category. The tour related to this album is the one where they played the entire album and the only highlight of the gig in Manchester that I can remember is Adrian Smith getting his guitar wire caught on one of the tank tracks on the set and being slowly dragged back into it.

Kind of surprising that you didn't like this one that much. Many hardcore fans consider this to be one of their absolute best songs.
