| | Powerslave is an album I never tire listening to. | | | This album is definately a classic, to be remembered as one of Maidens greatest albums to date. | | | Powerslave produced two classic Maiden tunes in 2 Minutes to Midnight and Aces High but also features some of the best guitar work from Adrian and Dave ever heard on a Maiden album (not until Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son was it matched). |

| | Powerslave is first noteworthy because it marked the first time in the band's recorded history that they kept the exact same line-up two albums in a row. | | | Powerslave marked a special time in Iron Maiden's career: it was the album that set them on the path to becoming superstars, and quite possibly the spokespeople for heavy metal at that time. | | | The remaining tracks on Powerslave have occasionally taken heat from the fans, and on first listen, one thinks that Iron Maiden took Dickinson's hobby of fencing a little too close to their hears with songs like "The Duelists" and "Flash Of The Blade". |

| | Powerslave was the breakthrough album in America for Iron Maiden. | | | For me it is one of the weaker albums with Dickinson. | | | However, there are still great songs on the album that I enjoy listening to including Aces High, 2 minutes to Midnight, Powerslave and the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. |

| | Whereas a painting is experienced visually, a symphony experienced audibly, a heavy metal band's "image" and the common theme that binds all their music is expressed in the artwork on the album, the set of the stage, the tone of the lyrics, in addition to the sound of the music. | | | Album covers and stage shows are almost as important to the presentation of the material as the music itself. | | | An excellent example of this is the theme album Powerslave, by Iron Maiden. |

| | Powerslave is still the best and my favorite Maiden album. | | | Piece Of Mind is a good album, and so is Powerslave but both have filler (in fact all of their albums have some filler). | | | I don't have the album, but I remember that being a sort of theme to Iron Maiden releases. |

| | Also, to their detriment the band started to become enraptured with concept albums and mood pieces, while song times began to be expanded to lengths that their songwriting couldn’t sustain. | | | This is their most Gothic album, a convoluted concept piece whose main weaknesses are the silly lyrics and the cruise control repetitiveness of some of the choruses. | | | Anyway, "The Duellists" is another fine, long neglected album track with an atmospheric chug, a catchy if cheesy chorus, and the obligatory guitar solos, which set an appropriately mournful mood for the song's fateful finale. |

| | It was the first Maiden album to feature the same lineup for more than a single record, and with a long tour under their belt, the band's playing on Powerslave was tight and inspired. | | | MTV embraced the album's two singles/videos, the rapid-fire "Aces High" and the complex antiwar tale "2 Minutes to Midnight," but what really made the album stand out as a true heavy metal achievement was the epic compositions. | | | Iron Maiden's music was evolving and growing with each successive release in the '80s; each album outsold its predecessor and widened the band's fan base. |

| | But the highlight of the album for me is "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", based on an 18th Century poem, this 12 minute epic tells the tale of a doomed captain and his ship, and is musically one of the most impressive songs in Maiden's catalog. | | | This album has gone on to be a firm favourite amongst a number of fans but often languishes in the shadow of it's two predecessors. | | | 'Powerslave' is in many ways, the last of the straight up metal albums for Iron Maiden in the 1980's, as later releases would explore the bands more progressive side. |

| | 'Powerslave' is possibly the album's second most convincing track. | | | Closing the album is possibly Maiden's most notorious and self-indulgent epic, 'Rime Of The Ancient Mariner'. | | | The album was recorded at the infamous Compass Point Studios in Nassau in the Bahamas, one of those "get away from it all" locales that AC/DC found uncomfortable, but the more outgoing Maiden found just fine. |

| | The band's fifth album "Powerslave" was recorded again in Compass Point studios and released In September 1994. | | | The album was adorned with some impressive artwork (again curtousey of Derek Riggs), inspired by the album's title track, which depicted an Egyptian scene, with Eddie being layed to rest in a Pyramid tomb. | | | When the band eventually completed their hugely successful "World Piece Tour", they turned their minds to the album that would eventually elevate them to one be of the most successful heavy metal acts ever. |

| | Powerslave has long been my favorite Maiden album. | | | As far as them being predictable, Steve is certainly a traditionalist, but nearly all of the albums have their own feel to them while keeping their signature sound, and I could listen to the albums from their prime period no matter what mood I'm in. | | | The two first albums are great, especially when I don't feel like listening to the other stuff, but they don't really compare to the middle-era Maiden. |

| | John J. Miller on Iron Maiden on National Review Online |
| | The highlight of Powerslave, however, is its climactic final track, "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Yes, it's inspired by the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem of the same name. | | | When Iron Maiden fans pick their favorite album, most settle on one of three from the band's heyday in the early 1980s: The Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, or Powerslave. | | | The other songs on Powerslave are about swordfighting (lead singer Bruce Dickinson is a fencer), a Ridley Scott movie called The Duellists (which in turn is based on Joseph Conrad's novel The Duel), and Egyptian mythology (hence the album cover's pharaonic motif). |

| | Be that as it may, this album is still a solid ball of metal that wreaks gothic havoc over any listener, be it fanatical metal fan or pop vomit comet. | | | Also of note on this album is the three-chord bash of Flash Of The Blade, which at first draws you in with its seemingly undeceptive grinding, then hits you mid-song with a dash of excellent classical metal, a harmonizing dual-guitar run courtesy of Adrian Smith and Dave Murray. | | | Iron Maiden's third album with the dark banshee Bruce Dickinson finds them prospecting more experimental metal battlefields, but still coming forth with some of the most passionate and sundering tunes in their catalogue. |

| | Above all, though, there’s the album-closing “Powerslave,” which is not a song I knew prior to getting A Tribute to the Beast, since by the time Powerslave was released in 1984 I had moved on from Iron Maiden to the Sisters of Mercy, trading one somewhat pretentious but terrifically fun working-class English band for another. | | | They are so good that their presence alone makes the album worth recommending. | | | “Powerslave” is here performed by Darkane, who are quite simply one of the best bands working today, in metal or elsewhere. |

| | The album cover shows a pyramid with a giant statue of the Pharaoh (reminiscent of the Sphinx), with the bands mascot Eddie as the Pharaoh. | | | The sound of overall album is filled with a reverb that remember the ambience in what could be the chambers of a pyramid. | | | To capitalize on the album's European popularity, the band went on their famous "Slavery Tour." It was a spoof of the name of their previous tour, "World Piece Tour," which promoted the album Piece of Mind. |
