Your Maiden blasphemy

[jvitor_amaral]

Gangland is a great song.

agreed

I know that's too early but EOTC > ROTAM

BNW is overrated and the least good of the reunion albums.

BNW is overrated and the least good of the reunion albums.

BNW is my lowest rated of the four reunion albums. Still a good album though 8/10.
I haven't heard TBOS yet.

 

[TheSpectreWithin]

ROTAM is by far Maiden's most overrated song. It's not even the best on it's own album. I put it behind Powerslave and Aces High easily.
It's a good song, no doubt, but it's far more repetitive than many post-reunion songs that get criticized for that.

Especially the middle section with the bass and volume swells. It's cool at first, but just goes on forever without any change.

 

[Severian]

Bruce leaving in '93 was the best thing that could have happened to IM at the time

 

[Mosh]

I'm not sure if that's an unpopular opinion as much as it's just proven over time to be a fact.

 

[Babo 91]

These will be really unpopular


Post 2000 maiden shits on pre 2000 maiden. If I was to put a random maiden track on, there is an 80%+ chance it would be a newer maiden one.

The X factor > Powerslave and Piece of Mind

 

[Brave New Pilgrim]

I actually think I prefer post 2000 Maiden to "classic era" Maiden as well.

 

[Fatboy]

WTWWB is dull and borderline awful

Yeah I agree with this as well.

I love 80s Maiden, it's amazing. But 2000 Maiden.... is next level.

The first half of the song is brilliant and has some stunning melodies and lyrics, everything after daves solo though I feel is uninspired, lackluster and boring

Speaking of unpopular opinions, Angry Metal Guy is doing a list of Maiden albums from worst to best and there's some controversial placement in their for sure:

No. 15-13
No. 12-10
No. 9-7
No. 6-4

I don't really agree with a lot of his placement, but he makes some very well thought-out arguments.

 

[Brigantium]

He's going to have SiT at the top, then?

 

[Meliegree]

QFF has amazing vocal lines.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Judging by what he's already posted, I'm assuming it'll be PoM, SiT, SSoaSS, in that order.

While I don't necessarily agree with all the placements either, those articles could well be the most well-written and well reasoned pieces ever written about the Maiden catalogue.

Absolutely, hence why I found it worth sharing. His arguments for the Blaze albums are incredibly intriguing.

i don't care how this dude rates the albums but to rip the lyrics of npftd and then praise the lyrics of x factor seems a little bit INSANE

Nothing insane about that in my opinion.
