I was convinced that Iron Maiden and Iron Butterfly were the same band, which is probably a musical sin that some believe should be punishable by death. I found that I much prefer Iron Maiden on all counts, except maybe when it comes to cover art.
I have always thought that heavy metal was fun, but didn't come with much substance. I am pleased to report that a more thoughtful heavy metal does, in fact, exist. "Remember Tomorrow" was particularly poetic. Of course, the machoism returned with songs like "Iron Maiden" but I did enjoy the brief respites from the testosterone outpourings.
Far more melodic than I would believed from seeing the cover art. Tomorrow: more Undertones!
RATING: 4/5
Speaking of testosterone--way too much for me here.
