The Number Of The Beast

Description

Product description CD Throughout the 1980s, a damning
generalization held true: British metal was essentially working man’s food,
loosely descended from biker-meets and Northern pubs; whereas, in the States,
it was an outgrowth of stadium rock, which traditionally subordinated
substance to spectacle. Plug-ugly and cartoonishly morbid, Iron Maiden were
typical of the Brit effort, since they effectively emphasized a driving, no-
nonsense approach to the music. Among metal aficionados, this album ranks as
one of the defining moments of the entire genre. Of the nine songs here–
including Maiden classics like “Run to the Hills” and the title track–only
“Gangland” falls flat, though it’s immediately overshadowed by “Hallowed Be
Thy Name,” acknowledged by many as this band’s apotheosis. –Andrew McGuire
