Somewhere in Time is the sixth studio album by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 29 September 1986 on EMI in Europe and its sister label. Caught somewhere in time Caught somewhere in time Caught somewhere in time. Dota 2 download slow. Oh oh Like a wolf in sheep's clothing You try to hide your deepest sins Of all the things that you've done wrong And I know where you belong Time is always on my side Time is always on my side Make you an offer you can't refuse You've only got your soul to lose. The weakest album from Iron Maiden's classic ‘80s period, Somewhere in Time is really the first true disappointment in their catalog, too often collapsing under the weight of their now-trademark ambition. Though it sold well on the heels of the hugely successful Powerslave tour, and is often regarded as underrated by Maiden devotees, it clearly finds the band struggling to refresh what was. 1980 – Iron Maiden 1981 – Killers 1982 – The Number Of The Beast 1983 – Piece of Mind 1984 – Powerslave 1985 – Live After Death (Live) 1986 – Somewhere In Time 1988 – Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 1990 – No Prayer For The Dying 1992 – Fear Of The Dark 1993 – A Real Live Dead One (Live) 1993 – Live At Donington (Live).
Review by Greg Prato
With such superb albums as Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, and Powerslave, Iron Maiden had forged a completely original heavy metal sound. Feeling that they'd taken it as far it could go, the band decided to broaden their sound with the use of synthesizers for their sixth studio album, 1986's Somewhere in Time. While many other metal bands used synths in the '80s to appeal to the pop audience, Maiden wisely did not overindulge. Instead, they used them to create textures, and were rewarded with one of their most commercially successful releases. And although Maiden's next album, 1988's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, would perfect this new approach, Somewhere contains many a highlight. Both the 'do it now' rocker 'Wasted Years' and the more melodic 'Stranger in a Strange Land' were successful singles/videos, while other prominent tracks included the album-closing epic, 'Alexander the Great,' the frenzied opener, 'Caught Somewhere in Time,' and the singalong concert fave, 'Heaven Can Wait.' Although not quite as substantial as its predecessors (filler crops up here and there), Somewhere in Time succeeded in broadening Maiden's sound without alienating their longtime metal fans.
