Iron Maiden Survivor 2013: Somewhere In Time - ROUND 1
« on: April 17, 2013, 09:23:24 AM »


Somewhere In Time - 29 September 1986

Bruce Dickinson - vocals
Dave Murray - guitar, synthesized guitars
Adrian Smith - guitar, synthesized guitars, backing vocals
Steve Harris - bass guitar, backing vocals, bass synth
Nicko McBrain - drums

Here we are with my 2nd favourite Maiden album, right behind Seventh Son. Maiden incorporated synthesized guitars into their sound with this album, and it added more depth to their metal sound.

My first vote goes to The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner - I never could get into that one.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

So much not to like.

I love Sea of Madness, and I like SIASL and HCW to a lesser extent. Never cared for most of the rest. I'll vote for whatever saves Sea of Madness

Runner. One of the coolest album covers of all time.

This album is perfect. Period.

Having said that, Deja-Vu...

Sea of Madness has always been my least favourite. Badass main riff, but the song loses its grip in chorus.

TLOTLDR is a top 3 song for me.

WTF at the Runner votes, top 3 on the album at least.

HCW, easily.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

Yeah, I can see how Runner wouldn't be the most popular song on the album, but to lose out to Madness is just, well, maddening. WTF, people?

Damn, I'm a dumbass. I was thinking of Madness as in Can I play with, rather than Sea of. It's HCW that should have been the first voted away in this case.
