Somewhere In Time is a great, top 5 Maiden album, but Powerslave is an excellent, top 2 Maiden album, rivaled only by Seventh Son.

LOL. I’m guessing they were going for the plague doctor motif, but it wouldn’t really look like Vic anymore with a bird mask on.

Ray Alder / Mark Zonder project. I hear some “Heaven Can Wait” in there…

NPFTD is way more consistent, even if its highs aren’t as high as many of the other albums. I’ve never been particularly fond of the debut, either.

Try Lindemans Framboise sometime, especially if it’s on tap. You will be enraptured.

Yep. Never cared for the song much. Terrible phrasing on the verse, generally uninspired. “The Parchment” is the song “To Tame A Land” tried and failed to be.

Both are great albums overall with some killer tracks and some lesser ones, but Piece Of Mind has more merely OK songs on it (e.g. “Quest For Fire” and “To Tame A Land”) while Senjutsu has the 1-2 masterpiece knockout of “The Parchment” and “Hell On Earth”. Gotta go with Senjutsu.

Interesting, I felt like it was The Verdict that finally stuck the landing after Condition Hüman showed real promise. I go back to The Verdict regularly, but not as often to its predecessor.

“In Extremis”, the first single from Digital Noise Alliance. Sounds good!

The Final Frontier by a mile. An uneven Bruce-era album can still handily trounce either Blaze-era album.

The Number Of The Beast by a fair margin. I think both albums are a bit overrated and only about 1/2 killer with some obvious filler, but TNOTB’s highs are higher than BNW’s.

So did you achieve “mission accomplished” with Special Ops Girl before the end, or will you live with regret from here on out…?

They’re the side project from Kevin Ridley of Skyclad.

The Book Of Souls, easily - Dance Of Death is the worst of the reunion albums by a decent margin.
