Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time CD

4.7 out of 5 stars (26 Customer Reviews)


Available from Amazon Marketplace 2 Used from $8.99

Principally recorded at Compass Point Studios, Nassau, The Bahamas and Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum, The Netherlands.

Iron Maiden's 1986 SOMEWHERE IN TIME contains more than a few highlights, such as the ferocious album opener, "Caught Somewhere in Time," as well as softer singles "Wasted Years" and "Stranger in a Strange Land." And as with the band's preceding studio release, POWERSLAVE, another masterful composition closes the album, in this case the sprawling "Alexander the Great." Departing from the familiar sounds of stellar earlier releases like THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST and PIECE OF MIND, this album explores new musical territory with the addition of synthesizers, while maintaining its trademarks--galloping bass, heavy guitar riffs, and operatic vocals. Though there were some doubts initially, the addition of synthesizers didn't alienate the band's headbanging following. In fact, the change, along with this album's commercial success, was a clear indication of the band's musical progress.

This Limited version features vinyl replica packaging.

Digitally remastered by Simon Heyworth (Chop 'Em Out).

5 stars Awesome guitar harmonies!
This album features some of The bands best guitar melodies, and Dickensons' first album of truly great vocal performances. This album has the greatest cover art of all time! I love every song on this record. It's only second to Brave New World. The miniaturized retro-vinyl-packaging is cool, but a jewel case is necessary if you want to keep the CD scratch free for any length of time. Up The Irons Bitches!
