5.0 out of 5 stars Skunkworks, April 23, 2007

Skunkworks marked a key turning point for Bruce Dickinson (not to mention the eventually reunited Iron Maiden). Capitalizing flawlessly on his absolutely incomparable voice, all his works after this move up an echelon, meaningfully and superbly written to best compliment his terrific range and depth. Oddly overlooked during the '90s infatuation with finding "new sounds." Working with some very talented "Gen X" professionals, this effort of the Master puts most of the era's contemporaries to shame. Whatever the chemistry, it's too bad the band didn't stick together for more albums. This is a "must-have" for just about ANY music collector.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Not-Bruce Album, March 13, 2006

If you are looking for Iron Maiden-esque Bruce or something along the same lines as Balls to Picasso or you are a metal purist, this album is not for you.

But if you are open-minded, a fan of Bruce Dickinson's amazing voice, range and creativity, you will absolutely LOVE this one. I've been a Maiden/Bruce fan since Day 1 and at first I was set on my ear by the grunge overtones in Skunkworks (Headswitch)... but it's now a favorite in my collection.

Bruce proves himself a Renaissance Man with the diverse and interesting subject matter (Strange Death in Paradise, Space Race) mixed with introspective peeks (Meltdown, Faith) you don't get from Maiden lyrics and even his own solos.

This one soars.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good album, February 28, 2011

This review is from: Skunkworks (Dlx) (Audio CD)

This is the 3rd album by Bruce Dickinson and it is very good. The compositions are really very good and it is a kind of music that you can hear any time. I read some reviews that the sound is not very good and i have to agree. There is no bass but once you overcome this fact and get into the scene that this album provides you will surely like this album. The vocals of course are great.
