    IRON MAIDEN ALBUM RANKING: TOP THREE REVEALED

    The title track is obviously a classic, but the rest of Fear of the Dark is all a bit bland and uneventful to me. Whereas on NPFTD there were several songs I think are really good tracks, here I'd find it very difficult to rate the tracks in any order or preference. Even the singles aren't that...

    IRON MAIDEN ALBUM RANKING: TOP THREE REVEALED

    I’ve a fondness for NPFTD as I was 13 when it came out and just properly getting into music. I’d got into Maiden by picking up a few of the ‘first ten years’ singles that had been rereleased earlier that year so it was the first ‘new’ album I could go out and buy that was currently relevant...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    You’re defining me certainly there. There were a few heavier bands than Maiden on my list but most were more rock than metal. This competition (which seems like it will be amazing) will give us a good guide of the musical demographic of the forum, and I suspect that later on it will be the more...

    Iron Maiden albums that your opinion has shifted on

    I loved The Book Of Souls when released but it rarely gets a spin now. The title track is superb but the rest of it is all average by Maiden standards. All other albums I’d say my opinion hasn’t really changed.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    It was £33.80 for 2 X 2 pint jugs at Manchester Arena. That was over a quid more expensive than at Epsom for the Derby a few weeks ago, and I believe is more expensive than the O2. I didn't bother , but that's simply ridiculous.

    Saxon

    Saw Saxon last night in Blackburn. First time I’ve seen them live and they were excellent, helped by the fact it’s a really strong album they are touring. The Pilgrimage is a corker of a track.

    Best song contest - Round 1, Part 15

    My least favourite reunion album. Coming Home is pretty safe and standard, but it’s probably my most listened too track - usually when I’ve been working abroad all week and I’m on my way home!

    Best song contest - Round 1, Part 14

    On an album packed with quality, I went for Brighter Than a Thousand Suns. But there’s at least 5 songs (BTATS, The Longest Day, FTGGoG, Lord of Light, The Legacy) that are better than anything on Dance of Death, The Final Frontier or Senjutsu for me.

    Senjutsu - 20 Months Later

    Hi all. First post. Been listening to the album quite a bit since launch. I’m probably ‘slightly’ disappointed overall, but that’s comparing it to the quality of some of its recent predecessors. However it’s still a good Maiden album. My highlights are TWOTW, Stratego, DOFP and The Darkest...
