Afraid to Shoot Strangers has one the most impressive build ups ever!! You know what's going to come but still it is wonderful. Very very good song!!

Fear of The dark is a good song as well and Be Qiuck or Be Dead which I always loved.
They could have left The Apparition and Weekend Warrior out of the album. Both weak songs.

Fear the Dark then Wasting Love.

Afraid to Shoot Strangers isn't a bad tune, but the first 3:45 of that song doesn't really sound anything like Maiden. then at that point in the song, the tempo completely changes and the rest of the song sounds like Maiden. The tempo/rhythm switch is ackward though, it really doesn't seem to fit and almost seems like two completely different songs. The end ends up similar to the beginning and doesn't really sound like Iron Maiden... it sounds more like a band that was influenced by Maiden when they were growing up. Not a bad tune, but just odd.

I dont' know what to choose on this album. I like a lot of it, but nothing really stands out as a 'great' Maiden track. Kind of leaning towards Weekend Warrior just because the hook is cool.
