A Fireworks Magazine / Rocktopia album review by Steven Reid: Coming together in 2006 at the request of the Dutch Iron Maiden fan club, Maiden uniteD are a star studded tribute to Steve Harris' troops, however, as you'll have gathered by the album title, 'Mind The Acoustic Pieces' is no ordinary set of covers. Instead Maiden uniteD have completely reworked and rearranged the entire 'Piece Of Mind' album into a stripped back, acoustic setting where the tone is set by acoustic guitar and piano. It is an unusual idea, but one that works spectacularly well, to the extent that it actually has you completely reappraising the songs and appreciating all over again just how strong the less celebrated tracks on this album, such as 'Flight Of Icarus', 'Die With Your Boots On' and 'Quest For Fire', really are.
