As much as I don't care for this album, I do have to give it to Iron Maiden for being able to go eight albums before reaching their first dud. Every album before this was so good that it's a surprise that they didn't make something like this sooner.
But with that said, this album really isn't all that good. It's not exactly bad, but it is just incredibly boring. So mind-numbingly boring.
I'll start off with the few positives first, and that's that, when they try, it's clear that the ... read more
There is some strong songs on this but compared to the previous albums this is a huge step down in quality and unfortunately that only continues from here in maiden albums.
Iron Maiden's decline.
1. Tailgunner- Great (I can dig this)
2. Holy Smoke- Good (Not much happening, but not a bad song)
3. No Prayer for the Dying- Good (Damn close to a great)

6. The Assassain- Meh (A nothing song)
7. Run Silent Run Deep- Good (Not bad at all)
8. Hooks In You- Great (I'll give them this one)
9. Bring Your Daughter...To the Slaughter- Good (It's aight)
10. Mother ... read more

However it's obvious no song here is as exciting as prior albums, and that fact alone can make this album feel like a downgrade, though not a significant one.

"No Prayer for the Dying" marca uma mudança de direção para o Iron Maiden, embora não necessariamente para melhor. Com uma abordagem mais simplista e direta, o álbum perde um pouco da complexidade e da grandiosidade que caracterizam os trabalhos anteriores da banda.
