It was their third studio release to top the U.K. Albums Chart, and the last to feature Bruce Dickinson as the group's lead vocalist until his return in 1999. It was also the first album to be produced by bassist and band founder Steve Harris, and the last album to feature the work of producer Martin Birch, who retired after its release.

mindkiller Review (6 July 2024) I had mates at school in the 80's that were big Iron Maiden fans. I was on the thrash path with Metallica, Anthrax, Sepultura etc. It wasn't until the early 90's that I decided to take a listen. Bought 'No Prayer For The Dying' and 'Fear Of The Dark' as they came out. I don't think they were hits with the true IM fans, but for me, I liked them. I could have chosen to review either, but have chosen 'Fear'. Again, still being a 'raw' fan, you see right from track 1 what a heck of a voice Dickinson has. The way he holds a note - he tops my previous love in Belladonna. In any case I see it as an enjoyable listen. Not particularly earth-moving, but some catchy songs that easily deserve many re-listens. Of most surprise is the final track that ends up the lead single and the only song from this album that has a permanent spot in their live concerts. Apart from this, highlights for me are the opening track and to be honest I skip to the final track "Fear Of The Dark". The middle songs are OK, but no standouts really. For whatever reason Dickinson left the band, only to return 7 years later. It's weird how successful bands can be so disruptive. Anyway this effort was never going to turn me into a devout IM fan.
