following a tremendous success with Seventh Son... concept album and touring intensity that followed, Maiden significantly ease up the drama on their follower disk [1990], marked by a musical move back to the basics: the synth shadings were dropped in exchange for a more guitar-driven sound, creative direction became simpler yet more sincere, bursting with old-school energy, and the vibe behind ten tracks is much more down to earth, even with some attempts to be ironic and sarcastic [Holy Smoke] - whether it was prompted by an addition of new guitarist Janick Gers or not remains unclear, but the loud and eloquent Bring Your Daughter... to The Slaughter was a huge hit anyways, projecting on what was about to shake the ground again couple of years later; recent European black 180g vinyl edition comes with a remastered sound, authentic design and pro-printed lyric inner sleeve
