Somewhere in Time' contains more than a few highlights, such as the ferocious album opener, 'Caught Somewhere in Time' as well as softer singles 'Wasted Years' and 'Stranger in a Strange Land'. As with the band's preceding studio release, 'Powerslave', another masterful composition closes the album, in this case, the sprawling 'Alexander the Great'. Departing from the familiar sounds of stellar earlier releases like 'The Number of the Beast' and 'Piece of Mind', this album explores new musical territory with the addition of synthesizers, while maintaining its trademarks - galloping bass, heavy guitar riffs, and operatic vocals.
