If I'm not mistaken, I think Dickenson played a large role as a song writer on "Powerslave," which would make sense as to why his vocals match the music so well on that album.

Definitey going to check out the NWOBHM thread, thanks.
Totally agree. Piece of Mind was much more consistent, and Powerslave was their masterpiece. Great review. You've pretty much already said everything I already thought about that album.
