[CRAZY-HORSE]

IRON MAIDEN "from fear to eternity: the best of 1990-2010" cd, 2011

career stats:
studio albums..........16
singles....................43

this album..............#19 UK...#86 AU

double disc set containing all their hits, albeit UK hits between 1990 and 2010....
I have their previous compilation also, another double disc set called "best of the beast" which was
released in 1996, so there are a couple of overlaying songs that appear on both sets...
UK hard rock metal band, have had two vocalists over the years, but that hasn't diminished the band's success any...
lots of very good hard rock - cum - metal on these discs, twenty three tracks in all...
only ever bought their first album "number of the beast", found it to be full of lengthy guitar solos so I never went back
for seconds with them, but as a hard rock singles band few could match them IMO...
before I get any criticism of the spelling of my favourite track "paschendale", that is the way the band spell it,
for those who don't know, The Battle Of Passchendaele was an important battle on the Western Front in Ypres in WWI,
the name has been spelt several ways over the decades, I guess it depends which part of the world youre from as to the spelling.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM
