	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Powerslave
		Powerslave is first noteworthy because it marked the first time in the band's recorded history that they kept the exact same line-up two albums in a row.
		The remaining tracks on Powerslave have occasionally taken heat from the fans, and on first listen, one thinks that Iron Maiden took Dickinson's hobby of fencing a little too close to their hears with songs like "The Duelists" and "Flash Of The Blade".
		Powerslave marked a special time in Iron Maiden's career: it was the album that set them on the path to becoming superstars, and quite possibly the spokespeople for heavy metal at that time.

	Progressive Ears Album Reviews
		Powerslave showed the band building on the epic style touched on in previous pieces like "To Tame a Land" from Piece of Mind and "Hallowed Be Thy Name" from The Number of the Beast.
		Powerslave was quite the news when it was released, mainly because it contained a 13 minute piece on it!
		It is another rather grand album in the vein of this one, but lacks some of the spark that is here on Powerslave.

		Powerslave, however, is better than even the substantial achievements of Brave New World, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, Piece Of Mind, and Somewhere In Time.
		The song (other than Powerslave) that caught my ear immediately was Flash of the Blade, simply an amazing sound all around, especially the vocals and the solo's.In fact the only song on here that i didnt think to be excellent is Back in the Village.
		The album is actually genius, how they made metal the way it was in the 80's, with albums like this.

	Iron Maiden Album Reviews
		That said, the album is still very good, as Paul Di'Anno, in his last studio stint with the band, once again registers an impressive showing, earnestly screeching out song after song, while Adrian Smith replaces Dennis Stratton as the band’s second guitarist with no apparent loss of chemistry.
		This is the album that began in earnest phase III of the Maiden experience, and I well remember my disappointment upon first hearing it.
		This is their most Gothic album, a convoluted concept piece whose main weaknesses are the silly lyrics and the cruise control repetitiveness of some of the choruses.

	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Powerslave
		Powerslave carries on the progressive metal trend that was emerging on Piece Of Mind, fueled by Harris' fascination with sci-fi and fantasy literature, mythology, military history and ancient civilizations.
		Most metal bands of that period were stuck in a 3-chord rut, and there are few of their fellow headbangers that could touch them from a compositional standpoint.
		Closing out this album are the 2 songs that lift Powerslave above the rest of their catalogue in my opinion.

	IRON MAIDEN Powerslave reviews and MP3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Definitely not enough to bring the album to an essential status, not even really saving the album from sinking slowly into oblivion (lost in a metallic ocean of now-average and rather boring riffs, overflowed a tidal wave of such albums), this last track is worth a notice, but little more.
		“Powerslave” soon became one of the landmarks in the heavy metal scene, and it still is. Every track is a winner here, something that is very rare for most albums, and I would say in overall that this is Iron Maiden’s best release this far.
		Iron Maiden's first four albums are a document of the band's continuous upward drive to rock stardom, from the gritty clubs of Acacia Avenues to the pretensious nonsense of biblical narratives, culminating in a sold-out headlining tour of the US.

	Powerslave (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Powerslave is the fifth studio album by the british heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 3 September 1984.
		The album is also notable amongst the band's albums as being the first album to feature the same lineup as the previous one.
		On the 1998 remastered re-release, the songs "Back in the Village" and "Powerslave" were separated in the wrong place, with the intro of "Powerslave" accidentally being attached to the end of "Back in the Village".

	Iron Maiden reviews and interviews
		In their second album, the music of Iron Maiden (or should I say Steve Harris?) takes a direction which will be present in all the future albums.
		This album marks the departure of Paul Di'Anno and the arrival of Bruce Dickinson (formerly of Samson), who is significantly different in style than Di'Anno.
		The most interesting thing to me about this album is that it sounds just like any other Iron Maiden album would (i.e., they have not compromised their sound in any way whatsoever), but yet it still remain fresh to the ear.

	MAIDEN album discussion part III: Powerslave / Live After Death
		Powerslave is one of my favorite Maiden albums along with Piece Of Mind and Seventh Son..., and the first one I heard.
		Powerslave is part of the IM holy trilogy for me, with the other two being part of the next discussion (more on those then).
		My beef with Powerslave is that songs 4 to 6 seem like absolute, complete, total filler to me. I never got into Back in the Village or The Duellists, and the chorus of "Flash of the Blade" is just as cheesy as the "Invaders" chorus, but it doesn't work nearly as well.

		But the highlight of the album for me is "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", based on an 18th Century poem, this 12 minute epic tells the tale of a doomed captain and his ship, and is musically one of the most impressive songs in Maiden's catalog.
		It doesn't matter if you think "Powerslave" is Maiden's best album, or if you like "Beast" or "Piece of Mind" or any one of their other albums better, you have to respect Iron Maiden for what they accomplished with "Powerslave".
		It is notable for its Ancient EgyptEgyptian theme, displayed in the album art, the lyrics, and in the music itself.

		The live album 'Live After Death' features a show in Long Beach Arena, California on one of the four sellout dates in a row there in 1985 as part of the 190 show World Slavery Tour.
		I had to listen to this album non stop for a month in germany, because it was the only good cd i had.
		I think that that powerslave is the most influential musical masterpiece, that has affected my style as a guitar player.

		This is what the "classic" line-up had in store on their second outing together: Take "The Trooper" and "To Tame a Land" from their previous album and expand and improve on these to get 'Powerslave'...
		Even so, it is a fitting and effective choice for the intro to "Flash of the Blade" as Bruce sings the fantastic (or fantasy) tale of dragons and lore: "You'll die as you lived by the flash of the blade." Melodic and quite heavy.
		Finally, we have the album's conclusion: the greatest Iron Maiden song 'er written, the benchmark of "epic", the pure and unadulterated meaning of life itself:

		Their fifth album "Powerslave" is probably their best.
		The PowerSlave album was released in 1984 following a string of successful albums such as Number Of The Beast, and proved in typical Iron Maiden fashion to out do the success of the previous albums.
		HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ALBUM "POWERSLAVE": "Aces High" and "2 Minutes To Midnight" kick off the album and kick it off well going on to be two of the most popular Maiden songs ever.

		The band's fifth album "Powerslave" was recorded again in Compass Point studios and released In September 1994.
		The album was adorned with some impressive artwork (again curtousey of Derek Riggs), inspired by the album's title track, which depicted an Egyptian scene, with Eddie being layed to rest in a Pyramid tomb.
		The first single from the "Powerslave" album was probably the best Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith collaboration to date, entitled "Two Minutes to Midnight".

	Iron Maiden : Powerslave - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Iron Maiden's music was evolving and growing with each successive release in the '80s; each album outsold its predecessor and widened the band's fan base.
		It was the first Maiden album to feature the same lineup for more than a single record, and with a long tour under their belt, the band's playing on Powerslave was tight and inspired.
		MTV embraced the album's two singles/videos, the rapid-fire "Aces High" and the complex antiwar tale "2 Minutes to Midnight," but what really made the album stand out as a true heavy metal achievement was the epic compositions.

		Nicko McBrain (drums) Steve Harris (bass) and Adrian Smith (guitar) really tear up the thick of the album with their rythmo-harmonic fireworks: pairing rhythms, playing off each other, switching up; they are the backbone and the nervous system of the album.
		As you progress through the album, time reaches farther back to bring you a taste of the possibilities of a less inhabited and experienced world.
		In the time of "Powerslaves," man's progress was powered by fear of the unknown.

		Powerslave, of course, being one of Iron Maiden's finest albums.
		However, the Walmart digital music store does have the entire Powerslave album available, so that is not the case here.
		If the original album had 14 songs, and for some reason Itunes only has 13 available for download, the price will be 99 cents per song, not the $9.99 album price.

		We need some product, because everybody’s waiting for the album.” So we said, “OK.” So we got a guy that we know of that was a very good singer [Fred Marshall, who will appear on the new album].

	John J. Miller on Iron Maiden on National Review Online
		When Iron Maiden fans pick their favorite album, most settle on one of three from the band's heyday in the early 1980s: The Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, or Powerslave.
		The other songs on Powerslave are about swordfighting (lead singer Bruce Dickinson is a fencer), a Ridley Scott movie called The Duellists (which in turn is based on Joseph Conrad's novel The Duel), and Egyptian mythology (hence the album cover's pharaonic motif).
		The highlight of Powerslave, however, is its climactic final track, "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Yes, it's inspired by the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem of the same name.

	Powerslave by Iron Maiden CD
		The album was also the first to not have been marked by a lineup change, helping Maiden produce another metal classic.
		Once POWERSLAVE was released, Maiden undertook one of the longest rock tours in history, playing from August 1984 through July 1985.
		This is it, the best maiden album ever recorded in my opinion, from the opening "Aces High" to the closing "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".
