Prowler - strong start. Would be a nice song for driving.
Remember Tomorrow - a bit too droning in the beginning, picks up about halfway through, only to put me back to sleep again. Optional, imo.
Running Free - kinda mindless and middle of the road groovin. Good background tune. Could picture it used during a montage.
Phantom of the Opera - seven and a half minutes of headbanging, start to finish.
Transylvania - starts a little basic but quickly builds to a pretty fun instrumental ride.
Strange World - the guitar solo really carries this song. not a bad tune, just a bit boring and oversaturated with guitar effects.
Charlotte the Harlot - mindless. kinda forgettable.
Iron Maiden - might have the catchiest chorus of the album.
Overall not bad but I think I would have loved it more if it were all instrumentals?

Good, if you like free-form jazz? A bit too unstructured for my taste.

I understand why it's popular. There are some catchy songs but I feel this band is best experienced live, in their prime. The songs on the album feel flat.

An album for younger generations. Doesn't have the same impact later in life and comes off a bit boring.

I hear the influence he has had in other musicians but this ain't for me.

A few heavy hitters in an otherwise mid album. An impressive debut.

Sounded ahead of its time. Would honestly be better as a full instrumental album.
