I would have definitely voted for Edguy's Mandrake (I could have nominated it) and Saxon's Killing Ground/Grave Digger - The Grave Digger - if it were in the list.

Wouldn't you call Greater Good, Suns, Different World, Longest Day and even Colours and Shadows such? I will.

2001 has some interesting albums. My votes: No World Order - I really like Gamma Ray and this album is classic power metal. I also think it's underrated. Karma - Kamelot's music is specific but impactful and this whole album brings so much emotion. Quality stuff, symphonic metal! Silence - I'm...

This. The special stuff from this tour are: the stage set, the first opening songs are memorable and having 3 80's epics in one set. Yeah. I'm not sure which song to call a centerpiece of the tour, since both Rime and Seventh Son are. If only they played another one like Infinite. Maybe the...

NPFTD is the weakest for me, FOTD has more than half great songs but also some fillers, TXF is probably the most consistent with not bad songs - but VXI is my favorite. Yes, there is repetition, some choruses are bit odd, but I genuinely think there are no weak songs (as such) among the 8 songs...

Sense of continuity with empty backgrounds... wow. Whoever the artist is, I think they'll go with the same approach as the last 2 covers, unfortunately. Yeah, cool, but just the poses. I like the originals, but I love their inner sleeve artworks! Some of Maiden's best and a favorites of mine...

I wouldn't say that. We can or not compare it with his TCW vocals: Moonchild, Madness, Seventh Son, Prophecy, Navigator (pre-chorus), Blood Brothers, Thin Line. The singing and high vocals are superb on both albums. Plenty of special vocals.

Daughter, Tailgunner, the title track(!), Run Silent and Fates Warning. And I don't want to lose the instrumentals of 3 of the other 5 songs (same with Weekend Warrior, Apparition, Chains and Key from the next album), plus I enjoy Assassin and even Holy Smoke. They just should have spend more...

What an album would be! Same if we combine the first 2 90's albums, imo. I can imagine a song like Tears Of A Clown on FOTD. FOTD with: Be Quick From Here To Eternity (the catchy single) Afraid Childhood's End Wasting Love Judas Be My Guide Fear Of The Dark then add: Fear Is The Key(because...

Another trip back to the 80's. Not for Powerslave, surprisngly. It's kind of odd to see Dave with an LP for Fear. Wasted Years is probably the song for which he used the most different guitars on live.

It can feel overstuffed because of the few really long songs and the 3 slower songs to end the album, but I don't have an issue with that. Same with FOTD. The shorter songs are enough, better balance than SJ. Ofc one more would have been good, like for SJ. Book, Red And Black, Empire and...

Now this is a really tough choice. Both are masterpieces/like perfect albums with no weak songs! A small detail should make the difference - and that is The Prophecy (I appreciate its uniqueness). Come to think of it, both albums are like a perfect and classic representations of their style and...

BNW is my favorite album and it's all killer, no filler. POM has songs like Sun And Steel and Quest For Fire, which I still like and enjoy, but are weaker and compared to the other songs and 80's as a whole. Both albums are full of classics.

TBOS is a better album as a whole, no doubt, I think it only has 1 weak song (everything else is great Reunion Maiden, more or less), but I just love FOTD. Yes there are 3-4 weak songs for Maiden (Apparition, Weekend Warrior, Key... Chains and Fugitive could have been stronger), but I still...

TFF is much more interesting, filled with impactful music (not only the epics) and better choruses. I may not like some decisions in it (length, solos, parts), and NPFTD is easier and more fun to listen to, but still. I enjoy both in different ways. NPFTD could have been stronger, especially...

Yeah, and apparently (mentioned in a comment) he said the same thing in this new interview about his upcoming big solo show in Brazil. Can someone translate the entire excerpt? https://www.instagram.com/ironmaiden.brasil/reel/DMBzfMfO73A/

Very nice idea with the Eddies and the historic place. The German one was with the most simplistic design. It's like it took inspiration from the tour poster:

I dig everything about Weekend Warrior except the acoustic guitar/pre-chorus, and Maiden did better AC/DC-style songs in the 90's, but it's easy to see why the majority of the fans don't like it. It doesn't sound like Maiden at all. But the instrumental section is pure gold! ^Different...

I agree that Maiden didn't go back to their classic style for their Reunion album and instead continue to develop their new and preferred approach since the mid-90's - and BNW is one of the top popular and successful (if not the most) Reunion albums in metal. But by the late 90's, heavy metal...

Yeah, for Wasted Years too. Most likely double bass. He hits hard and still the cymbals are weak in the mix..? Btw, I saw some comments on YouTube that some songs sound really slow and I'm not sure if Simon is to blame. They are playing the studio tempos, but that's not Fear Of The Dark's studio...
