While he may not be the band's original vocalist, Bruce Dickinson has become one of the most iconic vocalists of all-time, and when people think of the band Iron Maiden, they are surely thinking about an incarnation with him at the helm. However, to the shock of many, Bruce decided to leave the band in the 90s, and instead focused on his solo career. Now, I'm sure there were many doubts on whether or not he was going to be able to be have even a sliver of quality that Iron Maiden's efforts did. However, not only did he defy the doubts, he smashed it out of park not once, but twice! This album, however, is his most celebrated work as a solo artist, and it's 50+ minutes of heavy metal greatness. There are many great tracks on here, but my favourite track has to be Killing Floor. I just love those guitar riffs! All-in-all, it's a great listen from start to finish!
