This is all changed with Fear of the Dark. What really brought down No Prayer for the Dying was the lack of classic, or even superb, Iron Maiden material. This time however, Iron Maiden seemingly put a lot more effort into the album, and as result, came out with a better album. Again, the album sold very well, hitting #2 in the UK charts. The mainstream sure works in strange ways…Anyways, on 1992's Fear of the Dark, the band again took the same direction as No Prayer. This was in to small part due to the album's singles Holy Smoke (#3) and quite strangely, the awful Bring Your Daughter…To the Slaughter (#1). Yet somehow the album still did very well commercially, as most Maiden albums do, hitting #2 in the UK charts. For some reason, the album featured absolutely no material in the same league as the likes of Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Aces High, and Caught Somewhere in Time, or hell, even Stranger in a Strange Land. With No Prayer for the Dying, Iron Maiden attempted at recording an album that had them returning to their roots.
