This is the turning point album in Maidens career I think. SSOASS was the last album with the classic line up, Adrian smith left before this one was made, and only had a hand in writing "Hooks In You". the album is absent of a killer epic, mother Russia is the epic on this album and it is weak to say the least. and although the singles tail gunner, holy smoke, and BYDTTS are good, they don't meet the same standards set by Maiden of old. And although Bruce still has the strong voice we all know and love, he seems to be trying something new in sound and approach, which he will continue in FOTD album. I am not too fond of it. I'm not trying to sound like one of those negative ninnies complaining about how they changed their sound or they aren't like they used to be. This is a good album worthy of a purchase, its just nothing special. and contrary to some peoples reviews, this was not the end of maiden, cause they are still coming out with good albums. I feel brave new world and a matter of life and death are up there with the classic stuff. You cant have every album be a classic....every band has gone through a slump...and as i said before maiden in a slump is better than half of whats out there on good days.Read full review
I do not agree with some of the reviews here. While it's no "SSOASS" or "Powerslave", "No Prayer For The Dying" still rocks! This was done at a time when everyone was mad that Adrian Smith had left the band for a while and Maiden experimented with a more straightforward sound. It doesn't matter. They still crank out killer songs like Tailgunner, Holy Smoke, Bring Your Daughter...., and Mother Russia. Maybe not their best but far from their worst. I listen to this CD all the time now. A rockin' addition to any Maiden fan's collection. UP THE IRONS!
Finally, replaced my cassette tape with something a little less stretched!
