"No prayer for the dying" CD by Iron Maiden

Following the progressive predecessor works "Somewhere in Time" and "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son", "No Prayer for the Dying" sounds much more earthly and reminds a little bit of the band's early works. Dickinson experimented with changes in his vocal style on "No Prayer for the Dying". His voice sounds rougher and a little bit more scratchy than before. Moreover, it is striking that the synthesizer passages have been pushed into the background. "No Prayer for the Dying" was for a long time the last Iron Maiden album that reached gold status in the USA.
