Iron Maiden's 'Somewhere In Time' LP marked a change for the band, as it was their first album to introduce synth and guitar synthesizers, and was not a concept album as most of their previous releases. I first heard Maiden through this album and fell in love with them after hearing the album's title track, "Caught somewhere in time".I remember thinking the cover was cool and wondered what they were like. It was during this time I started listening to more metal and watching Adam Curry on Headbangers Ball every Saturday after 11pm. "Wasted years" has become a staple in Maiden's live sets and who can pass up those heavy guitars in "Stranger in a strange land"?
This was one of those LP's I had as a kid and never took care of, therefore I had to buy a newer one online since it's older and more scarce.
