Love Iron Maiden and am a big fan of Paul DIanno but this "new" release is a rip off. All it actually is is the 2000 release "Nomad" with a different running order and a few Maiden covers thrown in. I was one of five people who bought the "Nomad" album when it was released and was personally a little disapointed. There is definitely some quality material here but Paul's reach exceded his grasp in places and I feel he strays too far from the classic melodic metal style that he became famous for 25 years ago. If you are looking for Paul's best post Maiden work try and find the Killer's album "Murder One". All that being said, while I enjoyed the running order better this way than when these songs appeared on "Nomad" shame on whoever decided to promote this as a new album.

This album (that has an overwhelming sleeve) is basically the same as Nomad, one of the previous works of Paul Di'Anno, but with three songs added (the last three ones) and lacks one: Intro. That doesn't mean that this album doesn't worth each buck paid for it. Is a great album, hard, a great work from Paul Di'Anno (personally, the best vocalist that Iron Maiden could have in its history). Despite being almost the same album than Nomad (an album I own), I bought this again just to hear the songs remastered. The songs sound so actual and timeless that is a real pleassure to hear them revitalized.

I think this is a good cd. I love the title track! The video is cool. Can't go wrong with the living dead. But, there are other good tracks on it, as well. I can't complain about anything, because I have nothing to compare it too. This is my first cd from him. Even if it wasen't, I would still like it. So, buy it!

Yes this is Nomad (2000), recorded in São Paulo/ Brazil w/ Paulo Turin and a couple of Musicians from the actual Angra, one of them Aquiles Priester who's being called to replace Mike Portnoy on Dream Theater.

This is Paul in his Best, straying away from Iron Maiden completely, with talent and originality, writing songs different from each other with a very unique style, his voice is like it has a little bit of Dio after coming back from Hell w/ anger and passion w/ a pinch of Phil Anselmo, just enough to please the heaviest of the fans in a way that only Paul can deliver.

He proves in this album to be one of the greatest Heavy Metal singers of the last 3 decades, again, if you're a maiden fan w/ Helloween/Stratovarius etc taste, you may be disappointed, I'm a BIG maiden fan, but I think this album would scare Bruce Dickinson off of his tights. ;)

Up the Irons and Hail Dianno!

I just saw the video for the title track on the headbangers ball and what a great cd this...buy it now!!!!
