Iron Maiden. Discography [work] -

Intent on returning to a rawer, stripped-back sound, Maiden decamped to Steve Harris’s barn. Dickinson’s voice adopted a rougher rasp, and the songs lost the epic scope of the 80s. "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter"—an absurd, fun track—gave them their first (and only) UK number one single. But overall, No Prayer feels like a step down, despite the anthem "Holy Smoke."

The "Six-Man Band" lineup (three guitarists) debuts. Brave New World is a masterpiece of rebirth. The Wicker Man is the happiest, most anthemic riff they ever wrote. The title track is a sci-fi dystopian epic. This album proves that they returned not for nostalgia, but for competition. Iron Maiden. DISCOGRAPHY
