Customer Review Maiden continues legacy to the music world Blaze Bailey joined them out of Wolfsbane, while Bruce Dickenson left into his own solo career. In 1995 the world did not know what to expect from the new line up of Iron Maiden. How do you replace a line-up that has gone multi-platinum worldwide many times. This would be a template on how to do that for any other band. Blaze Bailey is Brilliant in his own way on this album. He does not try to emulate the vocal range of Dickenson, and does his own take on Iron Maiden's classic arena/power NWOBHM rock. The songs are slower at times than previous albums, but there are still many blistering guitar solos and songs to get your fist pumping. Favorites for me are Blood On The World's Hands, Man on the Edge, and Sing of The Cross. This is a great album for even new maiden fans to get introduced to. It goes to show that vocals are only a small mix into something that is as evolving as Iron Maiden. . . You can see a complete list of all Iron Maiden discography, or go back to the Iron Maiden tabs
