The title track is just epic! If I had to pick a second, it would be "Judas Be My Guide".
For the longest time I disliked this album in general and never really listened to it. Then, a few years ago, i picked it up again. There's some kewl schtuff, the last Maiden record before they jumped into the Blaze Bayley abyss ("fallinnnnnnn doowwwnnnnn....")
Interesting that "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" is leading the vote (everything else has only one or zero votes so far but ATSS is up to two!). That was always my least favorite song of the album, and i'm curious to hear what makes the tune rock others' world? What am I missing?

Be Quick or Be Dead is an awesome song. I think it's one of Maidens best.

It depends on when I listen to it what my favorite track is. But I like ATSS for several reasons. The first is I can resonate with the point of view around these young men (in some cases boys) going to war and having to shoot to kill people they don't even know and that if they met them under other circumstances they might be friends. And it's not a debate of the right or wrong of war as much as it is what goes through these men who are ordered by a third party to carry out the deed. And the the paradox of the other side probably having the same feelings. Oh... and I like the riffs too
I picked Afraid... Probably because I'm a veteran and I can relate to the tune.
I would like to know whose idea it was to put the power ballad Wasting Love on this album. Perhaps it's why Capitol dropped them?

I'm going with Fear Of The Dark. Close behind that for me is Afraid To Shoot Strangers. ...and for Mel, the reason "I" like this (sound wise) is for the same reason I like Infinite Dreams. I also have always liked the beginning part of Fugitive. Love the bass in it. The rest of the song is just ok.
Note to others: This is the first album that Derik Riggs did not design for Iron Maiden. Notice how different it looks?

Fear of the Dark and Be Quick or Be Dead. Those songs were sweet! Great melodies on FOTD and fast riffs on BQOBD is what it's all about about

I voted "The Fugitive" 'cause I love this song for both reasons. First I love its "catchy" chorus and I love the lyrics.

This is one of my less favorite albums, so nothing jumped out at me.

Fear of the Dark, followed by Be Quick or Be Dead.
I remember this album being fairly heavily hyped, so I had big expectations for this one, and I remember being pretty disappointed. Too bad the rest of the album can't match the intensity of the first and the last track.
