Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the most underrated albums in my opinion. The only track that makes this album still worth mentioning is its title track since the rest of the album has not been played since its release. Personally, it is still a quite versatile album in the band's catalog that consists of slow and fast pace metal songs. People should give this album more tries and get into it.

This is a great cd.Classic Iron Maiden cd featuring classic tracks such as Be Quick Or Be Dead,From Here To Eternity,Wasting Love and of course the classic epic title track,Fear Of The Dark.

I've been a fan of Maiden for about five years, and despite the mixed reviews of this album, I find it to rock just as hard as their previous material. The title track alone is a metal classic.

After a pair of experimental progressive albums, Iron Maiden gives us a raw rock and roll album. Love it.

This is probably my favorite Iron Maiden album. I always loved the artwork and of course the music is the best!

One of the best maiden alums ever!!! Most of the songs are awesome. Not a song that I don't like.

Highly recommend this albuMy for any new or ols metal fan if you don't have this in your collection

One of my favorite albums oh who am I kidding love them all. Such a blast from my past.

Iron Maiden Rocks one of their better albums and a must have if you a heavy rock fan.

Fear of the Dark is an amazing album. I recommend this album to any rocker.

Great album by great band. All of Maiden's early stuff is good

Loved this cd. Excellent metal. Great guitar solos. Listen to a lot.

Reliving the 80s couldn't help but add this. Cd to my collection

Fear of the Dark, from 1992, is the last Iron Maiden album with Bruce Dickinson on lead vocals before he left the group to focus on his solo career. Guitarist Adrian Smith had already left after their previous album. On this album, Bruce's vocals are more snarly and filled with screams than his Iron Maiden albums from the '80's or 2000 on. He really only sounded this way on the 2 albums from the 1990's, No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark. The Fear of the Dark album features 11 songs and includes some good (but not great) ones, such as: Be Quick or Be Dead, From Here to Eternity, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, Childhood's End, The Fugitive and The Apparition. However, the real gem is the title track "Fear of the Dark". After hearing live versions of "Fear of the Dark" on some of their live albums and their From Fear to Eternity: 1990-2010 greatest hits album, I was interested to go back and get this disc for the studio version. Personally I prefer the live versions which tend to showcase superior vocals from Bruce versus the way he sang the original studio version (as mentioned earlier, he had a different vocal sound on the 2 studio albums from the 1990's). Unfortunately, this album features a bunch of very weak tracks too. In fact, with 11 tracks spanning 59 total minutes, they could of made this album much stronger simply by cutting 2-3 of the weaker songs. Bottom line: this album doesn't stack up well versus their 1980's albums from The Number of the Beast to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son OR to their 2000 onward albums (Brave New World through The Book of Souls). My buying recommendation is only for those who want to complete their full Iron Maiden collection (or their IM w/ Bruce collection) or to those interested in getting the studio version of the song "Fear of the Dark".

Best Buy has a good selection of old CDs for good prices!

Loved this album!! Recommend for any Iron Maiden fans.

Best buy has a good selection of cds at great prices

I have mixed feelings about this CD. Although the band members perform admirably, I am not sold on the vocals. The singer is not the usual one and it just isn't quite the same. But it is worth checking out. The guitar work is at its usual best and sounds great.

I already have this album formats. But since Best Buy has their CDs 25% off in the store, I thought I would buy it. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn’t match the rest of my Maiden CDs on the spine.

One of their first albums I owned as a kid that got me started as being a lifelong fan. Would always listen to this daily that summer. Still do.
