I really enjoy Apex and would love to see it go further. Fair Warning however is a world class band in full flight.

I like Van Halen and I like 1984. Somebody explain to me why it is rated so much higher than the rest of their catalogue, because I don’t see it. I find it unfortunate that the voting pattern for some has evolved from choosing the better album to choosing the most metal album. Mostly because it...

The comments make clear what the only interesting matchup is. I find the criticisms listed above of both Firepower and X Factor ring true. I adore both. I picked Firepower because it better fits with my worldview at the moment, but the world is a better place because both albums exist.

This thread is priceless. Well done Maidenfans.

There isnt any right or wrong to this conversation for me. But favourite doesn’t equal greatest in my world, it’s just an element of it. Objectivity is a smaller element. (For example, I can talk objectively about Slayer but any positives won’t overcome my visceral reaction. Other have expressed...

I agree in the most basic terms but each of those elements is on a sliding scale.

Since there seems to be a push now for getting down to business - albums that actually belong in this conversation - I’m curious where people draw the line at what defines a worthy album? In your world how many “great“ albums are there? 10? 50? 200? I’ve never done the math, but The Final...

The worst song on Final Frontier is better than anything Slayer ever produced. Most overrated metal band. One note and not a particularly interesting one. Im glad those who are voting for an album they like less are making it clear the choice is purely political and they haven’t actually spent...

Apex is my favourite find in this game. I’m a little embarrassed to admit that since they have so much in common with Iron Maiden and I’m supposed to be expanding my horizons, not confirming how limited they are. Also, is it weird that Spinal Tap’s mockeries are often better than what they are...

Well, Don’t look to the Eyes of Stranger is shit, actually.

To a couple remarks about Sleepy Dave on autopilot. I thought he took great strides to counteract that on Book of Souls; felt more in his soloing on that record than I had in years.

Virtual XI is a very good album, with a handful of outstanding tracks and some gorgeous melodies, worthy of many repeat listenings. Easily better than a majority of albums we’ve heard in this game.

I can understand why this would be annoying, but I also can’t say I sympathize in a game that invites players to comment on why they like or dislike something.

In some weird world people are voting for an Iron Maiden album on a site called Maidenfans just to piss off Iron Maiden fans

Happy birthday :cheers:

So let me get this straight, Virtual IX sucks because of bad production, bad singing and repetitive songs...and you like Bathory?

Blue Oyster Cult: The Symbol Remains Nineteen years between releases makes it hard to approach news of a Blue Oyster Cult studio album without at least a hint of trepidation. That becomes even more pronounced given I am a huge fan and consider the last good BOC album (depending on your...

Unleash the Archers is a great find. Got the last of fall yard clean-up done with them on repeat yesterday. And just down the road from me. Who knew?

Johnson sounds very good and the album is well-produced and quite deep, without having a real high-end track. Much better than the tepid Rock or Bust
