Another strong album from postmillennial Iron Maiden. The biggest flaw here is the length of the songs. "The Red And The Black" is a good example of a perfectly fine song padded beyond reason with long instrumental passages and a repeating "Whoa-whoa" section that serves only to remind us of "The Wiaker Man." Thirteen fucking minutes of this! All the reviews around the time of release were unfailingly positive, and seemed to imply (or sometimes state explicitly) that if you had a problem with the run-time, you weren't a true fan. Sorry—almost none of these songs need to be as long as they are, and it causes a fair amount of the record to drone past in a blur of noise that is instantly recognizable as Maiden, but no less generic for it. It's no accident that two of the best songs are its most direct, "Speed Of Light" and "Death Or Glory." (Ah, but the metal press rushed to characterize both as cheap appeals for hit singles—as if!)

Other highlights include "The Great Unknown," "The Man Of Sorrows" (not to be confused with Bruce's similarly-titled solo track from Accident Of Birth), the title track and especially "If Eterity Should Fail," a rare instance when the run-time is fully justified.
