    The real problem with Virtual

    The way i see it, the problem is abouth the harmony. We were used to listen the Bruce era, and with Blaze the tone changes to a darker one, specially on the previous album. You can notice that Bruce's vibrato allow him to stretch the lyrics that made the songs feel more fluent. Blaze doesn't...

    The Problem with the X-Factor?

    I think Maiden took the opportunity to go in a different direction when Bruce left the band. I agree that it's a very dark album, the lyrics make that clear. But, what happenes to some fans is that we are expecting something like the usual rhytm, which you don't see here. Sure, you can argue...

    The Duellists

    To me, it's a song that grows over time. Last time i rated it, i gave it an 8. But may be should be a 9. many of people here have described the instrumental part, so i won't do that too. I'll say that the vocal is great, even if the lyrics are not taht depth as Maiden's lyrics could be. Bruce...

    Hallowed Be Thy Name

    In my humble opinion, this is the best song of Maiden. Surely you can argue for Rime..., because is also a fantastic song, but i slightly prefer this one. Oh, and Bruce make it shine even more when he performs live.

    Sanctuary

    The rhytm of this song makes it last through time. Yes, the lyrics are kind of poor, but it reflects propperly the beggining of the band. I still enjoy it. 8/10

    Iron Maiden: individual album judgement by yours truly

    I'm not an english speaking native, so forgive me if i don't express my self correctly. I valuate both lyrics and rhytm, when i found that both excel my ranking goes from 9 -10. If both are good, 7-8. If some of them is good, but not the other, then i go 5-6. If i don't see any of them, 1-4...
