Iron Maiden couldn't put a foot wrong in the 80s. From their star-making early efforts that crowned them kings of NWOBHM to chart-topping successes with Number Of The Beast and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, they emerged from the decade as one of metal's most successful bands. The 90s? Not so much.
Even the most ardent Maiden fan will concede that Maiden's second decade was a much more mixed bag than their first. But while the Blaze Bayley years - and albums - have some detractors (and more than a few defenders), there's one album towards the end of Bruce Dickinson's first tenure in the band that seems to almost universally get a kicking: No Prayer For The Dying. The question is...why?
