Food for Thought is an Iron Maiden tribute album with a slightly different take on the band's music. It was released in July 2005[1] after having been worked on for two years by Swedes Henrik Johansson and Mattias Reinholdsson. It features mainly Johansson and Reinholdsson doing different genre versions of Iron Maiden songs with contributions from musician friends and acquaintances. The intention with the tribute was to make it sound like the covers were done by a bunch of very different bands which might explain the album's left field take on some of the songs.

  2. "Twilight Zone"
  3. "22 Acacia Avenue" (feat. Gabriela Kulka)
