Which of these two instances of abject cruelty towards the vocalist by a certain bass player is your preference?

Yeah it's funny, if I have a Maiden album on in the background and it's playing a weaker song like The Apparition.. the middle solo sections etc are nearly always great and I always remember them.

Seventh Son is a perfect album

The new short songs still never match up to The Wicker Man and Futureal.

What about Blazes little acoustic tour with Rich Newport (he wasn't very good) on acoustic guitar. I saw him in London doing it in 2007

I do love the melodies and solos and the colourful feel of VXI. Just wish they'd worked on the songs a bit better and given Blaze more time to put in a few better performances.

I can't believe Satellite 15 made it onto the album

Listening to this after the x factor, and this isn't well produced either, but it's actually a step up from the X factor production wise. I think I like the breezier lighter sound as it is a little bit like their 80's guitar sound.

X factor has hideous production and way too many slow brooding songs all in the same key but I think it just about gets the nod for me

Filler of the Dark but at the same time it's not an interminable slog like most of Maidens last few albums. This is genuinely difficult. BoS has a couple of absolutely brilliant songs, better than most of the stuff on FoTD but as an album it's so overstuffed.

TFF is their worst album so No Prayer

Reunion era Maiden at their best. 10/10

Just put Futureal back in the set already

Nope

Also applies to every other person in the band thinking Futureal was the obvious first single for Virtual XI but not being able to convince Steve

Oh yeah true DOD is clippy but then it's got some wonderful songs on it so I probably looked past it

To mention Metallica again, At least Maiden have never had an album quiiiite as awfully produced as the clip fest that is Death Magnetic. In retrospect the songs all suck too but the production is heinous.

I remember thinking the process sounded interminable with Lars spending about six months to get a drum sound for the black album. It was worth it though, that album still sounds immense.

Steve fifteen seconds after Kevin just achieved the perfect mix

Some of you guys complaining about the weak guitar mix should listen to TXF. It could be WAY worse. Sounds like blaze is singing over an isolated bass and drum track and Janick and Dave are playing through an answering phone message in the next room.
