In the late 1970s, Iron Maiden emerged as prime movers of the new wave of British heavy metal and unleashed a ferocious pack of hit singles and million-selling albums. Their recipe was simple: lyrics inspired by mythology and classic gothic literature backed by a soaring twin-guitar assault driven on by Steve Harris's relentless bass. It was an approach that influenced countless rock bands, from Metallica to a string of Scandinavian death merchants. The group's longest-standing vocalist, Bruce Dickinson, dominates this collection; only two tracks are sung by his replacement, Blaze Bayley. But it's unfortunate that no room was reserved for original singer Paul Di'Anno, denying fans the rough and punky "Runnin' Free" and "Sanctuary." There is, however, room for a live version of "Fear of the Dark" from the band's massive 2001 Rock in Rio show, included perhaps to maintain consistent production values. Even so, the early hits are sorely missed. --Dominic Wills

Customer Reviews:

There already are (more than) enough Maiden compilations out there... take the hint........2007-07-16

I can't believe someone would rant about people giving this compilations bad reviews.

There were 2 Maiden compilations before: Best of the Beast, The Essential Iron Maiden, and now "Edward the Great: Greatest Hits". This one should have been called "Edward the Lame: Non-Greatest Hits."

I'll go over the pros and cons:

PROS:
-A Career-spanning single disc package that spans much of their career
-Has "Run To The Hills" and "The Trooper", 2 of their most prominent tracks
-Affordable price
-Should be found anywhere

CONS:
-The Sound remastering is Horrible
-VERY BAD TRACKLISTING! Where the hell is my all-time favorite, "No More Lies"? What about: Montsegeur, Face in the Sand, Dance of Death, The Mercenary, Dream of Mirrors, Blood Brothers, Ghost of the Navigator, Out of the Silent Planet, Lord of the Flies (considering Bayley sucks), Wrathchild, Purgatory, Charlotte the Harlot, Phantom of the Opera, Iron Maiden, Aces High, Losfer Words (Big 'Orra), Flash of the Blade, The Duellists, Back in the Village, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, or Hallowed Be Thy Name? They just chose the most overhyped songs for this collection.
-This cannot be a "Greatest Hits" compilation if it has "Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter", "Man on the Edge" or "Futureal" on it! God!
-NO D'ANNIO STUFF! Yeah I know he sucked compared to Bruce Dickinson, but he's still better than Blaze Bayley
-"Fear of the Dark" is only the live version! WHY GOD WHY???"

This compilation is only for those unfamilliar with Iron Maiden, let alone Those who have just heard or are just getting into Iron maiden. I would reccomend buying this only if you haven't heard them.

I Love Iron Maiden.......2007-03-25

I may go to an all clasical school, and only play clasical insruments, but hell, you've got to love Iron Maidens music. On this album, my favourite song is Wasted Years. Bruce Dickinson all the way people!

Iron Metal.......2005-10-04

I never thought i would be interested in this sort of music but Iron Maiden is so much better than most metal bands. Their guitarest is so great and probably one of the best of all time. Each song has a sort of premise or idea that inspires it. I would have to say this is one of the most talented bands ever. I bought the album because i was trying new things. At first, the album kind of sat around. But when i finally put it in my stereo, i fell deeply. I couldn't stop listening to Flight of Icarus and 2 Minutes to Midnight. Once i was burnt out on those songs i started listening to the rest of the album and i loved the songs. Iron Maiden is currently my favorite band and i will soon get more of their CDs.

AWSOME.......2005-08-18

ALL I GOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS BEST OF IRON MAIDEN CD IS THAT ITS F**KING GREAT. MY ONLY COMPLAINT ON THIS ALBUM IS THAT TWO OF MY FAVORITE IRON MAIDEN SONGS AREN'T ON HERE. THOSE SONGS ARE "ACES HIGH" AND "HALLOWED BE THY NAME." BUT ALL IN ALL ITS GREAT

Good metal.......2005-08-06

I never thought i would be the type to like iron maiden but this is good! Not great, but good.
Certain songs were not very good but none were bad.

Great Album, missing some good tracks though..........2004-01-09

Alright, first off, this is an awesome album. The one track it is definatly missing is The Clansman, and It would have been better with Aces high. Otherwise, awesome.

Great!!.......2003-02-04

This is a great album. Perfect for someone just getting into Iron Maiden, or to add to an already large collection. The Rock in Rio 'Fear of the Dark' is a great touch. Deffinately worth getting.
