Hence, it's no wonder that, ║ │ │║ a few years after honoring its '80s output with ║ │ │║ the "Somewhere Back In Time" collection, the ║ │ │║ band is putting forth the best of the rest of ║ │ │║ its career with "From Fear To Eternity: The Best ║ │ │║ Of 1990-2010." ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ There's no doubt that "Somewhere Back In Time" ║ │ │║ is more of a "greatest hits" collection than ║ │ │║ "From Fear To Eternity," but some, including ║ │ │║ this author, would argue that the best of the ║ │ │║ tracks on the latter collection show a maturity ║ │ │║ and depth of songwriting (not to mention playing ║ │ │║ ability) that the band likely would've been ║ │ │║ incapable of in its earlier years. ║ │ │║ Unfortunately, "From Fear To Eternity" also ║ │ │║ encompasses the 1990s, when the band struggled ║ │ │║ to stay on track. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Like "Somewhere Back In Time," "From Fear To ║ │ │║ Eternity" deftly avoids dealing with a period in ║ │ │║ which Bruce Dickinson wasn't the band's singer ║ │ │║ by using live versions of tracks that were ║ │ │║ originally sung by someone else. In this case, ║ │ │║ Dickinson provides perfectly passable versions ║ │ │║ of "The Clansman," "Sign Of The Cross" and "Man ║ │ │║ On The Edge," which were originally sung by ║ │ │║ Blaze Bayley during Dickinson's 1990s break from ║ │ │║ the band. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ More troublesome, frankly, are the tracks from ║ │ │║ the period just before Dickinson took that ║ │ │║ break. Tunes like "Holy Smoke," "Be Quick Or Be ║ │ │║ Dead" and "Tailgunner" from the "No Prayer For ║ │ │║ The Dying" and "Fear Of The Dark" albums feel ║ │ │║ distinctly out of place amid the far more lushly ║ │ │║ produced tracks like "The Reincarnation Of ║ │ │║ Benjamin Breeg" and "Dance Of Death." ║ │ │║ Dickinson's vocals, in particular, are somewhat ║ │ │║ lacking by comparison. That said, the only truly ║ │ │║ terrible track on the entire compilation is the ║ │ │║ silly "Bring Your Daughter ... To The ║ │ │║ Slaughter." ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Then again, listening to those tracks also ║ │ │║ brings an even greater appreciation of just how ║ │ │║ great the 21st century version of Maiden is, ║ │ │║ with "Paschendale" standing out as arguably the ║ │ │║ finest example of the band's epic vision. With ║ │ │║ orchestration that makes it feel almost ║ │ │║ symphonic in scope, the song swells and fades ║ │ │║ like the battle depicted in the lyrics. It's ║ │ │║ also an excellent showcase for the band's 21st ║ │ │║ century triple-ax attack, with guitarists Dave ║ │ │║ Murray, Janick Gers and Adrian Smith (who co- ║ │ │║ wrote the song with bassist Steve Harris) all ║ │ │║ acquitting themselves excellently. The same goes ║ │ │║ for "When The Wild Wind Blows" from the band's ║ │ │║ latest studio album, "The Final Frontier." ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Though the band's post-2000 output has been ║ │ │║ known for its lengthier tunes, there are plenty ║ │ │║ of tracks here, including "The Wicker Man" and ║ │ │║ "Rainmaker" that come in at less than five ║ │ │║ minutes and flirt with a near-pop sensibility in ║ │ │║ the same way classic tracks like "Number Of The ║ │ │║ Beast" and "Run To The Hills" did. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ It's also impossible to listen to the tracks ║ │ │║ from the past decade and not praise producer ║ │ │║ Kevin Shirley, who, working with Harris in the ║ │ │║ control booth, has created a lush soundscape in ║ │ │║ which synthesizer flourishes actually add to the ║ │ │║ heaviness of the guitar and bass riffs without ║ │ │║ distracting from them. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Yes, there are tracks from the band's "lost ║ │ │║ weekend" in the 1990s, but at its best, "From ║ │ │║ Fear To Eternity" doesn't just represent "The ║ │ │║ Best Of 1990-2010" ù it represents some of the ║ │ │║ finest work of Iron Maiden's career. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Current line-up ║ │ │║ Bruce Dickinson - Vocals (1981-1993, 1999-) ║ │ │║ (Samson (Gbr), Speed (Gbr), Shots) ║ │ │║ Dave Murray - Guitars (1976-1977, 1977-) ║ │ │║ (Urchin, Hear 'n Aid, Evil Way (Gbr)) ║ │ │║ Adrian Smith - Guitars (1980-1990, 1999-) ║ │ │║ (A.S.A.P., Psycho Motel, Bruce Dickinson, ║ │ │║ Urchin, Hear 'n Aid) ║ │ │║ Janick Gers - Guitars (1990-) (Bruce Dickinson, ║ │ │║ Gogmagog (Gbr), White Spirit, Ian Gillan Band) ║ │ │║ Steve Harris - Bass, Keyboards (1975-) (Smiler, ║ │ │║ Gypsy's Kiss) ║ │ │║ Michael "Nicko" McBrain - Drums (1983-) (Trust ║ │ │║ (Fra), Blazer Blazer, Street Walker, Pat ║ │ │║ Travers, McBrain Damage) ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Discography ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The Soundhouse Tapes Demo, 1979 ║ │ │║ Running Free Single, 1980 ║ │ │║ Iron Maiden Full-length, 1980 ║ │ │║ Sanctuary Single, 1980 ║ │ │║ Women In Uniform Single, 1980 ║ │ │║ Live!! + One EP, 1980 ║ │ │║ Killers Full-length, 1981 ║ │ │║ Twilight Zone Single, 1981 ║ │ │║ Live at the Rainbow Video/VHS, 1981 ║ │ │║ Purgatory Single, 1981 ║ │ │║ Wrathchild Single, 1981 ║ │ │║ Maiden Japan EP, 1981 ║ │ │║ Run to the Hills Single, 1982 ║ │ │║ The Number of the Beast Full-length, 1982 ║ │ │║ The Number of the Beast Single, 1982 ║ │ │║ Flight of Icarus Single, 1983 ║ │ │║ Piece of Mind Full-length, 1983 ║ │ │║ The Trooper Single, 1983 ║ │ │║ Video Pieces Video/VHS, 1983 ║ │ │║ 2 Minutes to Midnight Single, 1984 ║ │ │║ Powerslave Full-length, 1984 ║ │ │║ Aces High Single, 1984 ║ │ │║ Behind the Iron Curtain Video/VHS, 1984 ║ │ │║ Running Free (live) Single, 1985 ║ │ │║ Live After Death Live album, 1985 ║ │ │║ Live After Death Video/VHS, 1985 ║ │ │║ Run to the Hills (live) Single, 1985 ║ │ │║ Wasted Years Single, 1986 ║ │ │║ Somewhere in Time Full-length, 1986 ║ │ │║ Stranger in a Strange Land Single, 1986 ║ │ │║ 12 Wasted Years Video/VHS, 1987 ║ │ │║ Can I Play With Madness Single, 1988 ║ │ │║ Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Full-length, 1988 ║ │ │║ The Evil That Men Do Single, 1988 ║ │ │║ The Clairvoyant Single, 1988 ║ │ │║ Infinite Dreams Single, 1989 ║ │ │║ Maiden England Video/VHS, 1989 ║ │ │║ Running Free - Sanctuary EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Women in Uniform - Twilight Zone EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Purgatory - Maiden Japan EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Run to the Hills - The Number of the Beast EP, ║ │ │║ 1990 ║ │ │║ Flight of Icarus - The Trooper EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ 2 Minutes to Midnight - Aces High EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Running Free - Run to the Hills EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Wasted Years - Stranger in a Strangeland EP, ║ │ │║ 1990 ║ │ │║ Can I Play With Madness - The Evil That Men Do ║ │ │║ EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ The Clairvoyant - Infinite Dreams EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Holy Smoke Single, 1990 ║ │ │║ No Prayer for the Dying Full-length, 1990 ║ │ │║ The First Ten Years Video/VHS, 1990 ║ │ │║ Bring Your Daughter ...
