Iron Maiden, a metal legend. A band that influenced all great metal players. Piece Of Mind is an album that shows off Maiden's utter talent. Where Eagles Dare, Flight Of The Icarus, and The Trooper are instant classics. Die With Your Boots On, Quest For Fire, and Sun And Steel are songs you will most def put on repeat. The thing that troubles most owners of this album is, what is that damn secret message at the beginning of Still Life? Here lies your answer. The message is: "What ho said the monster with the three heads. Don't meddle with things you don't understand." It is said by Nicko McBrain. (Just in case you are wondering.) This album is perfect for a real Maiden fan. It is also perfect for any metal fan. All songs are truly great. UP THE IRONS. ...

Pro Reviews: Piece of Mind
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews By 1983's Piece of Mind, Iron Maiden was fast becoming one of the biggest metal bands on the planet, yet with each successive album, the group lost an original member. This time it would prove to be exit time for drummer Clive Burr, who was replaced by ex-Pat Travers skinsman Nicko McBrain, resulting in what many consider to be the quintessential Iron Maiden lineup (remaining intact until 1990). While all of the expected Maiden musical trademarks are again present (Harris' galloping bass lines, Dickinson's Herculean vocals, great guitar harmonies from Dave Murray/Adrian Smith), the sound is streamlined slightly, resulting in the band's most melodic and accessible album thus far. Piece of Mind also marked the first time that other members besides Steve Harris had a prominent say in the songwriting, resulting in such all-time metal standards as "Flight of the Icarus" and "The Trooper," while containing several musically ambitious compositions -- "To Tame a Land" (based on the classic sci-fi novel -Dune by Frank Herbert), "Still Life," and "Revelations." But Maiden never forgot that they were a metal band, as proven by "Die With Your Boots On," "Where Eagles Dare," and the aforementioned "Trooper." Although Piece of Mind was the first Maiden album to include filler ("Quest for Fire," "Sun and Steel"), it was overall another superb release, resulting in Iron Maiden's fourth classic in a row. [As with all of Iron Maiden's 1998 reissues on Raw Power, a multimedia section is featured on the CD, which includes videos, band biographies, tour date history, and photo galleries.] - Greg Prato, All Music Guide |

Pros: Rocks like a Monster
Cons: none
This is a classic heavy metal album. The Trooper is one of the greatest heavy metal songs of all time. If you were going to buy one Maiden CD, this should be it. This Cd keeps you rocking through out all of the tracks. Clearly my favorite Maiden album.
