Well, this CD just adds to that ongoing Iron Maiden collection. After all, you can basically go to any record store and pick up an album of Maiden and most likely it will be a collection of their greatest hits. However, some of the older fans are questioning this new album. This new CD is exceedingly well rounded and does give the new and old fans a good dose to keep up their Metal health… it is pure classic Maiden. Somewhere Back In Time (The Best of 1980-1989) features songs from The Number of The Beast, Powerslave, Piece of Mind, Killers and a few more famed albums. With new fans popping up every day the band thought that releasing this album would give the newer fans a vibe of what Iron Maiden’s all about. Somewhere Back in Time is the newest/oldest album with tracks traveling back to their 1980 self titled album Iron Maiden. I mean this band has fans ranging from 9 year old kids to 70 year old grandparents… can any other band say that? Most likely not. Releasing a good 14 or so original albums, their fan base has also quadrupled over the years, along with recognition. This helped increase the fan base and revive the oldies. Earlier this year Iron Maiden went on their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour, targeting their peak, the 80’s.

Throughout Maiden’s electrifying history of tours, albums, DVDs, and shows they have probably had the largest impact on the Heavy Metal scene known to man. have all covered this world renounced British Metal band. Bands like Dream Theater, Metallica, Coheed and Cambria, etc. Metal fans simply cannot live without a fix of Maiden now and then. Iron Maiden is to a Metalhead as water is to survival.
