A page or two ago, there was some moaning about how bad No Prayer and Fear Of The Dark are. They surely are not their best albums. I think one of the main reasons was because of how bad Bruce sounds. I don't know what was wrong with him. I know when Fear Of The Dark came out, it felt like a return to form Maiden album.
I respect what Maiden tried to do with No Prayer, similar to what Queensryche did with HITNF, but at the end of the day, it only works if the songs are strong.
Anyway, between the two albums, I think you can make one pretty damn good album,
call it No Prayer For The Dark or Fear Of the Dying..whatever!
