About this album

Sanctuary (2008) Released: 10 Jun 2008 26 tracks (130:27)
Balls to Picasso is a Hard rock album released in 1994 and is the second effort in Bruce Dickinson’s solo career. The ballad “Tears of the Dragon” stayed for many months on top the of charts in countries like Brazil where Dickinson has a large fanbase.

This record marked the beginning of Dickinson’s collaborations with Roy Z, who would work on many of Dickinson’s later albums including Accident of Birth, The Chemical Wedding and Tyranny of Souls. Stylistically it departs from Tattooed Millionaire but is still more traditional-sounding than the follow-up album Skunkworks released in 1996. Later, Dickinson said that he and Roy Z were talked into making the album less heavy than it should have been.

Balls to Picasso was also released in DVD-Audio 5.1 mix and DualDisc (CD/DVD-Audio 5.1 mix) versions.

    Easily one of my top 10 albums of all time. Till the day I die. I cannot believe 10 albums will ever be better than this.

    Great album, more alternative rock than heavy metal, obviously Bruce was trying to produce something more relevant for the 90s and did a great job at it.
