Iron Maiden - 'Afraid To Shoot Strangers'

The last album from the first Bruce Dickinson period, 'Fear of the Dark' may not be Maiden's finest full-length, but it certainly has its moments. The prominent synth on 'Afraid To Shoot Strangers' makes one nostalgic for the glory days of 'Seventh Son...' (particularly 'Infinite Dreams', another Steve Harris composition). The striking, solitary leads in the song's middle and end are simple but gloriously effective.
