Inoffensive, but not particularly exciting for the most part. I've never been keen on early Maiden, having none of the catchy vocal or guitar performances that they would become known for, but they have some moments. Remember Tomorrow was the only song I could remember liking beforehand, but now I'm adding Transylvania to the "Good early Maiden" list The meanest thing i can say is that this came out the same year as British Steel, Ace of Spades and Heaven and Hell, and I'm astonished Maiden didn't immediately disband out of embarrassment.

First off, love that cover. Very doom metal. Fitting, it came out the same year as Master of Reality. I am reasonably sure that I have never in my entire life consciously listened to the Beach Boys. I was expecting pre Sgt Peppers Beatles, just a bunch of silly and happy pop songs. Instead I got a lovely bit of tonal dissonance between the really happy and dreamy music, and the esoteric and depressive lyrics.

Prog bops. Ton of variety. I don't have any observations on this. Do you like early Genesis? Cool, this is that. It's a fun time.

Good time. Firth of Filth is wonderful.
