It's a MIDDLING album?!@Sea of Madness
Anyway.. Eh. SiT hasn't gotten much post-SiT love, has it? It's a middling album to me, and I've seen the Maiden England tour, soooo...I'm OK with that.
Either there's something wrong woth me, or there's something wrong with everyone else. SIT is objectively Maiden's best album. Yet, no one likes it. It blows TNOTB, Powerslave, POM, Killers, and Iron Maiden completely and decisively out of the water. The only album that comes close to it is SSOASS. The sounds, the atmosphere, the melodies, the solos, the songwriting, the themes, and the overall vibe of that album are unbelievably awesome. How can you look at the albums that came before it and say that they even remotely come together in the way SIT does? They don't. They're not as strong or over the top awesome.
A middling album my ass. That's just mental retardation.
