“Afraid To Shoot Strangers” is a powerful track filled with varying tempos and nuances. “Fear Of The Dark” is not the only gem on the album. The “Fear Of The Dark” song gives me goose bumps almost every time I hear it - even 25 years later after its release - and the sing along portion of the song with the audience that has developed over time is simply magnificent to hear in a live setting. fir example, you’d likely be hard pressed to find any heavy metal lover who finds that Metallica have been able to even come close to the great songs that they came up with on their first five albums. After all, usually a band that has achieved stardom by its third studio album produces its best songs in its first few albums and it’s an uphill climb after that. I also consider the song “Fear Of The Dark” as most likely the best Iron Maiden song ever written, which is unusual for a heavy metal band of Iron Maiden‘s stature. While it’s definitely not at the same level as 1982’s The Number Of the Beast or 1984’s Powerslave, I have always viewed the Fear Of The Dark record as an underrated one that presented a comeback of sorts for the band after the somewhat disappointing No Prayer For The Dying. Yesterday was the 25th year anniversary of the release of Iron Maiden‘s ninth studio album Fear Of The Dark.
