While1992’s Fear of the Dark was definitely more of a return to form forIron Maiden, it still wasn’t quite on par with their exceptionalwork from the ’80s. Easily an improvement over 1990’s lackluster NoPrayer for the Dying (both musically and sonically), the albumdebuted on the U.K. charts at number one. The opening “Be Quick orBe Dead” proved Maiden could easily hold their own with youngerthrash metal bands, “From Here to Eternity” contained lyrics thatseem better fitted for Mötley Crüe, while the expected epicalbum-closing title track would become a concert staple (all threetracks were released as U.K. singles). While Maiden records of thepast would contain an album’s worth of first-rate material, Fear ofthe Dark is again weighed down with too many drab compositions —“Childhood’s End,” “Chains of Misery,” “Judas Be My Guide,” andmore. The serene “Wasting Love” proves to be one of Maiden’s betterballads of the ’90s, while the rockers “Fear Is the Key” and“Afraid to Shoot Strangers” are also standouts. Fear of the Darkwould be singer Bruce Dickinson’s final studio album with the band(until their late-’90s reunion), as he publicly voiced that he feltthe band had run its course.
