IRON MAIDEN - From Fear To Eternity - Best Of 1990-2010 (2CD)

Very nice and beautifully presented two-disc compilation containing 23 tracks. It is just a pity that the period with Blaze Bayley on vocals - in my humble opinion very successful - has been almost passed over here. All right, there are live versions of "Sign Of The Cross" and "Man On The Edge" (from "X Factor") and "The Clansman" (from "Virtual XI"), but that is probably a little too little... not nice! Nevertheless it is an interesting release, which can certainly be picked up by all those who do not collect whole discographies, but would like to get to know the output of Maiden. Fans of the band must have this CD anyway, if only because of the new incarnation of Eddie... Recommended. (K)
