Every Iron Maiden Album Opening Song Ranked From Worst To Best

7. Different World - A Matter Of Life And Death

Another Iron Maiden song, another strange animated music video. The circle of life rolls on.

Different World served as both the first song and second single from the band's 2006 release, A Matter of Life and Death, which is why it got the discerning video treatment.

The song itself is a lot of Maiden goodness stuffed into a relatively short runtime. When you're regularly churning out 11 minute songs, four minutes 17 is considered short.

A catchy riff, head-banging drums, and a stonking performance from Bruce all tie this one together in a neat little bow, setting the table for an album that reviewed very well indeed.

Even in a Different World, Maiden were still the same old great band.
