Your Maiden blasphemy

I would advocate "Shadows of the Valley" for the 'least-good' title, but I mean the whole album is awesome. It's one of those cases where my average score would put it below some other albums but the entirety of it is just so enjoyable it gets elevated right in my Top 3, beaten only by The X Factor and Powerslave (which are in my Top 4 of albums overall, so it's tough competition).
 
I think Shadows of the Valley is probably a sideways reference to The Trooper - "Into the valley of death" is from the Tennyson poem.
 
List time!
1. Book of Souls
2. The Final Frontier
3. Brave New World
4. A Matter of Life and Death
5. Dance of Death

Most people would scoff at AMOLAD being that low, however it's only 8th in my rankings.
