| Agree with you, not a great album, though better than the Bayley-era IMO... Good songs are Tail Gunner, Holy Smoke, Bring Your Daughter and Hooks In You, but far away from being masterpieces... |

| Iron Maiden should still be shot for daring to record the worst song in their reperoire ever on this album... Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter not a single song in their career is worse than this pile of shit. |

according to their biography "Run to the hills" it is good song  |

Actually, that is one of my favourite Maiden songs. Sure, I am not a Maiden fan at all! (the only album I like is Brave New World, but I never listen to it).
Bring your daughter... is funny, catchy, and overall just pretty hilarious. Eventhough it is quite stupid.  |

That's really a matter of taste, I think it's the best song on the album. But then it was one of the the first songs I learned to play on guitar, and which I played with my first band But worse than Gangland? Quest For Fire? Weekend Warrior? Lord of the Flies? Como Estais Amigos? Not in my book. |

I definitely agree  This album has the worst songs they ever recorded anyway, with Bring Your Daughter..., Holy Smoke (though the vid is funny, as pointed out by the reviewer) and Tailgunner. The songwriting is really poor on this record. |

I agree with you on the fact this isn't exactly Iron Maiden's best album, honestly it's very far from it. Although I wouldn't say it is horrible. The title track "No Prayer for the Dying" happens to be one of my favourite Maiden songs. It has some awesome harmonies and changes from a slow, emotional pace to going straight into belching out one of the sweetest Maiden choruses. "Bring Your Daughter... To the Slaughter" Is again another awesome Maiden track that I enjoy. It feels to me this track goes back in time to early Maiden years and has that rocky, punky feel to it. Then the last track "Mother Russia", this has some kind of cheesy lyrics but all in all is an awesome track and really does a good job of weaving sweet russian folk tunes into rockin' Maiden. Summing up, not their best album but if your an avid Maiden fan how can you not enjoy some of the experimentation they have done on this track?
This opinion is by the way from someone who did not grow up listening to Maiden albums as they came out. I believe I would have a different view if every single Maiden album wasn't thrust upon me in one go and if I had been waiting a couple of years for the next piece of Maiden and had recieved this.
My score: 7.2 |

| definitely one of their worst albums. Listening to songs from this album is like listening to stuff that plays during the 8 a.m. cartoon credits. |

Very underrated!
The title track, Public Enema Number One, Fates Warning and Mother Russia are awesome songs! |
|
|
|
| I almost always forget that they recorded this album, nothing as great as their other hits. Bring Your Daughter... Is catchy and funny, but not a classic jeje. |

Quote:
The rest of the album continues more or less in the same way as if it consisted of mostly fillers from other albums until it reaches the end...
That summs everything up.. |

This song is indeed god awful. But I think a few songs on "Virtual XI" are even worse. I wanted to shoot myself the first time I heard "Come Estai Amigos". "Weekend Warrior", "The Apparition" and "Wasting Love" deserve strong mentions here too.
By the way, to those who think Maiden lost their 'powerness' with AMOLAD: they had lost it long before that. All their albums after SSOASS are rather weak compared to their 80s stuff (and, imo, not worth listening to). This band completely failed to evolve.
To the reviewer: Dickinson really great on this album? Are you kidding me? He sucks like never. |

"Gangland" and "Quest For Fire" are surely not among the best Maiden songs but they're decent. The others you mention all suck. |

It's definitely one of them. I find this album to be on a par with their 80's albums, and it's definitely a classic to my ears barring the less than great production. And Bring Your Daughter... is one of my fave Maiden songs, so I definitely don't go along with the hatred shown to the song by a few in this thread. "Fear Of The Dark" was a patchy album, but I love every song on No Prayer. It's an excellent album to me for sure.  |

OMG, we really disagree here. I hate this album and think it is definitely not in the same league as their 80s stuff.
Well, we can't agree on everything. lol |

I think most people would disagree with me about this album actually.  I know I'm in a very small minority who actually loves No Prayer... I think a lot of people even prefer the Blaze albums to it.
Well, no, but we don't have to agree on everything.  |
