intro
Revisited and dramatically reworked new edition of Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson’s second solo albium
Nottinghamshire-born and Sheffield-raised Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, now 66, was never truly happy with his second solo album. Back in 1994 he shelved two versions before settling on a final mix that was released that year. But he has now revisited the whole thing and spent a lot more time reworking it. He has added a “’More’ to the original album title and has beefed up the arrangements with Amazonian drums, a brass section and majestic orchestral strings. The result, ‘More Balls To Picasso’, will thrill Dickinson's many fans and it also clearly demonstrates his vision for this big budget, theatrical makeover! It is an impressive album!

Accomplished solo album from Iron maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson, which will be loved and loathed in equal measure depending eniterly on whether one sees the demise of old fashioned metal as a good or a bad thing |
