Here are a few excerpts of what people have said about
Food for thought!

(The full reviews can be found on the respective links)

  • "It´s fantastic. The time and effort you put into this is amazing. The variation of the material is truly fantastic. To have fans like you to do something like this is really special"
    Nicko McBrain

  • "I listened to it. It was a fucking nightmare! Naaah, it was fun."
    Paul DiAnno

  • "I feel knackered and have to go to bed"
    Steve Harris

  • "Maiden sabotaged again [...] an album full of Iron Maiden cover versions where each song is unrecognisable from the original. [...] Keep those eggs firmly in you back pocket, this ain't half as bad as it sounds"
    (6/10) Geoff Barton, Classic Rock (#85, October 2005)

  • "It's awesome! Very unique and well done...very entertaining. Nicko and I listened to the whole thing."
    Rick Baum, McBrain Damage

  • "I like how you guys twisted it all up."
    Roy Z, producer and guitarist

  • "What do you get when AC/DC, Motorhead, Pink Floyd, Simon & Garfunkel, the BeeGees & co are brought together, put in a room and asked to to perform a few Iron Maiden songs? Well, what you get is them all walking out leaving Henrik, Mattias & Co to offer their own imitations of the songs we love but have not quite heard like this before. Original, unusual, strange, call it what you will, but you can't deny this is one of the best things to come out of Sweden since blonde babes."
    Glyn Wilkinson, first buyer of the CD!

  • "The excellent Bon Scott era AC/DC 'Futureal' is a cracker. 'Innocent Exile' a might strange what with the John Carpenter style programming and a raucous 'Burning Ambition' lift this bizarre recording from the sublime to the ridiculous to the sublime once again."
    (7/10) Chris Doran, The Metal Observer (English), The Metal Observer (German)

  • "'Blood on the world's hands' is a smash hit! [...] A suit, a cigar, a piano and snapping fingers. A black and white movie and a bar. All of this mixed in one track"
    (-) Mauricio Carrasco, http://www.ironmaiden.cl (Spanish)

  • "A praiseworthy weird project that - despite it's odd diversity - is both charming and original."
    (3/5) Daniel Falk, www.metalnyheter.se (Swedish)

  • "This is honestly the best Iron Maiden tribute album that I've ever heard and actually re-newed my interest in the band."
    John Reynolds, a buyer

  • "The most versatile, most creative, most witty, most innovative, most surprising and best Maiden tribute Sampler made so far [...] This tribute is totally ingenious and Maiden-fans simply have to get their hands on 'Food For Thought'"
    (10/10) Christoph Lücker, www.obliveon.de (German)

  • "This is quite clearly a personal project done for goofy laughs"
    (5.5/10) Jim Martin, Terrorizer (#136, October 2005)

  • "This iron Maiden tribute album is probably the most original and certainly the most inventive of all such albums that have been released to date. [...] Every Maiden fans open-minded enough to appreciate different styles of music should definitely have it in his/her collection."
    The Iron Maiden Commentary (English/French)

  • "how a cover can be original I don't know, but this is fucking original!"
    cyanopsis, Official Iron Maiden Forum

  • "Not only the common Maiden-hits are abused, but also more obscure and rarely played tings like 'Flash of the blade', 'Fortunes of war', 'The nomad', 'Innocent exile' and 'Burning ambition'. This is a work of genuine Maiden-fans."
    (-) MOSES, www.musik.terrorverlag.de (German)

  • "When 'Wildest dreams' is played with double bass drums and topped with Lemmy-ish vocals one can't resist headbanging with a grin on the face and play air-rickenbacker."
    (5/5) Pertti Keinonen, www.rautaneito.com (Finnish)

  • "They change a little bit or they put some other instruments just to make more interesting the very successful tracks. Of course the songs remain Iron Maiden songs, but have you heard the track 'Be quick or be dead' with female vocals?"
    (8,5/10) Antonis Maglaras, www.powerplayrecords.net (English)

    The only one to reveal the truth behind this project, though, was John Doran of Metal Hammer (#145, November 2005) whose extensive and insightful review is as follows:

    "How quaint they've changed the word fucking to 'kin so they don't upset their mums. Parental worries aside, this album of Maiden covers in a 'whacky' lounge style is so middle of the road it should have a stripe down its back. 'Kin better 'k off back to the 'kin drawing board, eh?" (2/10?)
