Fear of the Dark (Iron Maiden)

Fear of the Dark ( 1992 ) is the ninth studio album by British heavy metal group Iron Maiden . It was the last studio album with singer Bruce Dickinson until its return in1999 and the recording of the album Brave New World in 2000 .

This album was received worse than the previous ones. The style difference and quality difference between the numbers was such that the lack of balance and appearance many fans this album will not call in the personal top 10.

The album included both varied epic songs ("Childhood's End", "Afraid To Shoot Strangers' and 'Fear Of The Dark' which strongly referred to the heyday of the eighties) and also flaming up-tempo heavy metal (Be Quick Or Be Dead). But from the rest of the album was filled with mostly simple hard rock songs ("From Here To Eternity ',' Weekend Warrior ',' Chains of Misery") with radio-friendly choruses and the ballad "Wasting Love" which by many fans as Maiden unworthy and improper were labeled.
