Both albums are fantastic. All songs are great.

This is the only album from JP that I don't like. Alone is the only song on that album that is worth listening to.

Way better ballads than Iron Maiden, these are top notch.

Run of the Mill is so damn amazing.

I just discovered this today, Some guy redid St Anger in 2015 Sounds 1,000 times better than the original. This is actually listenable. With the original I cannot listen to the whole album in one go, actually I very much struggle to listen to just one entire song from this album. But this take...

As far as I understand it Maiden were getting very popular, and Bruce was a very different singer, I'm sure he alienated many established fans. I still come across people pining for Dianno.

Many people consider Floor to be better than Tarja or Olzon

Iron Maiden replaced Paul Dianno with some guy that seemed to do pretty well with them.

I'd also want him to mix it up with the concert setlist more. The usual culprits occur at most of the tours, would like to see more other songs. Like perhaps make a rule that a song can't be played on three tours consecutively and that they need to play two songs (other than from a new release...

Perhaps. But at the time that just was a horrendous hire. Get a guy that can't sing your hits, your back catalogue. I have no idea what he was thinking on that one. Hard to respect him for that decision. But on the other hand, Anthrax hired a great singer in John Bush, Judas Priest hired a...

Not replace Bruce with Blaze. That was his biggest mistake by a long way. Make sure he gets someone that can sing the range that is required for those songs.

Montsegur and Isle of Avalon sound nothing like a Celtic Jig I have no idea why some people relate DOTC to Clansman, the songs are very very different Maiden is Maiden, They have done 100's of songs, they have their sound, they have their structure. DOTC is more different to their back...

Maiden have never done a Celtic Jig before. Given their back catalogue DOTC is entirely unique for them. Have any heavy metal bands done Celtic Jigs before? (probably yes, IDK, but it doesn't seem to be common at all) I'm not sure how you objectively determine whether a song has a valid point...

They are my four favourites from the album. All the rest rank below those four, easily below.

Harris' four songs on this album are far above the rest of the songs. I really really really hope he doesn't take your advice. LOL Darkest hour is one of the least exciting or interesting songs on the album. Maiden as a whole aren't great at ballads. Harris should keep doing what he is doing.
