nice, this record deserved such a review.
too bad I am one of those who like The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner 
this is the first record with noticable keyboards, and they sound a bit too '80s (electro-pop,you know) for my taste. that's the only thing I personally don't like in SIT. |

I've realised that a lot of people like it  After their last show in Sweden, I read a review of the concert in one of the biggest Swedish newspapers. The reviewer was mad because they hadn't played "'Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner' or some other unknown surprise"  |

Yeah...very underrated song. |

| Very underrated album in general I think - this is one of my favourites. |
|
|
|
Absolutely. Actually, this might be my favourite, but it's hard to pick just one, naturally.
The songs are more intricate in a way, they are more complex. |

I've always claimed it as one of my favourites since the first time I heard it. I remember nobody agreed with me except from a friend of mine's mother I easily think this album is better than 'Number of the Beast' - much more even and simply better atmosphere. |

Well, Run to the Hills and the title track isn't bad although I'm bored to death by them. And there's a couple of fillers. But I really like Children of the Damned and Halloweed be Thy Name, some of my favourite Maiden songs. Anyhow, not as even as this album and not as good either  |

I've always considered TNOTB made of 4 masterpieces and 4 fillers...the masterpieces are 22 Acacia Avenue, Children Of The Damned, Hallowed Be Thy Name and the titletrack...the rest is forgettable. |

Aah, totally forgot about 22 AA... but I agree. Invaders is quite okay aswell. Anyway, masterpieces don't have fillers! |

Exactly, in fact I don't consider that album a masterpiece. Well, stop now, we are off topic |
|
|
|
| Well, I like The Prisoner. So I think that is arguable |

Haha really of topic, somebody should start a thread in the forum if there isn't one already
TNOTB is a very good album, but it doesn't qualify to my favourite Maiden album top 5. |

Sorry I know we should be talking about somewhere in time.
I was just saying that I don't think the prisoner and run to the hills are fillers at all. But other than that I agree, it's not perfect. And it's not on my top 5 eihter. |

| This is a great album, I love the entire theme of it, its very chilling. All of the songs are great, no filler. It is hard to say that any of the albums from Number of the beast all the way to Seventh Son are any better then one another. They all have great themes and are filled with great songs. |
|
|
|
Best. Album. Ever.
and yeah, TNOTB is a bit overrated... |
|
|
|
| What a cool song ''Alexander the great'', an epic.. and amazing lyrics on Heaven can wait.. very good album. |
|
|
|
| This album is underrated allof the 8 songs listed are unique my favourite is Caught Somewhere In Time the way bruce screams it is great |
|
|
|
| Great review, man. Very true, indeed. My favorite Maiden album, TBH. And "Loneliness...." I can honestly say is my favorite Maiden tune. |
|
|
|
| Pretty much spot on rating and a great review to boot. Underrated is right, "Caught Somewhere In Time" is probably my second favorite Iron Maiden song behind the almighty "Hallowed By Thy Name". Personally, I find "Stranger in a Strange Land" the ONLY weak song on this album. The synthesizers give the songs extra depth and atmosphere. The album cover is great with the "computer" font spelling out Somewhere In Time. Not to mention the lyrical focus on themes relating to time in nearly each and every song...AHH such a great album. |
|
|
|
| I think i really gotta pay more attention to this album... |
|
|
|
| This is my favorite Maiden album...seriously. Maybe it has alot to do with the introduction of guitar synths in Maidens music. |
|
|
|
| Well i paid more attention, but still i prefer other albums more (SSOSS and Powerslave from 80ties) |

| Omg The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner is soooo good. One of my favorites on this album. Not filler at all |
|
|
|
| The atmosphere of this album is just amazing. Each song is incredible and fits perfect to to albums theme. Sea of madness and alexander the great are my favorite ones. The riff guitars are just so catchy so 80´s. Is the best Steve Harris album performing the bass. Is just not just the typical galoping, you have riffs that goes with the guitars, solos, some good scales I mean is just a masterpiece. The syntheziser is just the perfect way to complement the atmosphere not only SPACE TRAVEL but also a lot 80´s which is a combination with the heavy metal they are performing just amazing. My favorite Iron Maiden album, far away from any other. |
|
|
|
| Probably my favorite Maiden album. Though I've never been really able to decide between Powerslave, SIT and SSOASS. |

| Loneliness is no way filler. The chorus is kinda weak, but overally, it's a very decent song. |
