They wrap us up with their first song "Prowler" a song with a catchy sound which
transports us to a certain place that narrates the song, the guitar solo of the song
is really spectacular creating a bond with the listener, in this way Maiden opens the
album.
We continue with "Remember Tomorrow" a song that in my opinion brings
a bit of nostalgia, creating a solitary eighties atmosphere, just like
"Prowler" the song is a narration in first person, the composition at
times becomes accelerated thanks to the solos guitar giving a great
combination.
Later "Running Free" follows a song that manages to lead us directly to
be the main protagonist of the story, imagine that we are together with
several colleagues in a truck with no money and no luck, later drinking
something and feeling freedom, the song is magnificent, but it just means
"I'm free"
Phantom Of The Opera, masterpiece, from beginning to end, excellent
bass, excellent solos, the longest song on the album, but its 7min is
completely worth it, the song itself tells us about a spectrum "The
Phantom of the Opera" .
We continue with Transylvania, the only instrumental song on the album,
its sound is very catchy, sometimes it brings me the idea of a street
chase or something similar, not only because being instrumental means
that it lags behind the other songs, because it is quite the opposite,
it is a great song very well composed that just listening to it for a
few seconds you know that it is about Maiden.
The continuation of Transylvania is "Strange World" song with a
similarity to Remember Tomorrow in the somewhat sad field, this song
is not very fast as the previous ones but that does not mean that it
is not another excellent melody, the song tells us about a around that
cannot be understood, so it is better to live in our "strange world".
Posteriormente llega "Sanctuary" (cabe recalcar que la canción no
se incluyo en el álbum de ciertos países) una canción que evidencia
claramente las influencias punk que poseía Maiden en sus dos primeros
trabajos con Di'Anno.
"Charlotte The Harlot" antepenúltima canción del disco, una canción
que habla acerca de la situación de estar enamorado de una prostituta,
llevando en sí el desamor y el repudió que esta ocasiona pero sin perder
ese sonido genial que posee la banda.
"Iron Maiden" una canción símplemente genial (aunque su letra es muy
repetitiva) el bajo sobresale como en las demás canciones, las guitarras
resuenan junto con la batería y el vocalista se impone con su singular voz.
Para mi Iron Maiden de Iron Maiden es una obra maestra de principio a fin,
es ante mi opinión el mejor álbum de Maiden con canciones que marcaron la
historia de esta gran banda.
