    Murders in the Rue Morgue

    One of my favorites of the Di Anno era! The intro is just fantastic and that bass line was an inspiration when I first started playing the bass. I also like the story telling quality of the lyrics and it has a nice tempo. The could have skipped the extra chorus after the solo though, even if I...

    Wrathchild

    Very effective song, much better here than on the Metal for muthas compilation, but still a lot better live than here. Killers was the first cd I bought after we got our first cd player, only having listened to vinyls before, it must be the second maiden album that was actually my own as well...

    The Ides of March

    I think this is a great intro, it worked well on the live shows and it works well here. It doesn't feel like a complete song and I don't view it as one either since it would feel a bit wierd to listen to on it's own without a follow up track for it to lead into. But I like it, it sets the mood...

    Official Maidenfans poll: Favorite studio album 2015

    Don't you dare feel sorry for that post @JudasMyGuide, it was some real nice reading! I vote final frontier. And I will stand by it no matter what you all say!

    Iron Maiden

    I still love the intro when the second guitar comes in and it has some nice rocking and/or rolling going on. But doesn't really stand out in any other way than being the title track. Hard to find anything special to say about it. Woho, one record done!

    Charlotte the Harlot

    Same low (4) grade as the one before it, albeit for different reasons. The song has a few really good parts, especially the intro riff but the lyrics anoys me enough to want to throw stuff at my speakers when listening to it. If the music weren't so good in some places I'd given it an the...

    Strange World

    Now we're getting into the hard to grate territory. I give this a four, not because it's a bad song, it really isn't, but because I often skip it and always leave it out of play lists and just almost never feel like listening to it. I still think there are some interesting ideas in it and I...

    Transylvania

    Starting of the second side with an instrumental is kinda brave and it works really well, a lot of good ideas and a nice flow. And it gets better and better the whole song through, but could have been a bit shorter and some days I feel it could do with some singing (if not being cut down, that is)

    Phantom of the Opera

    This, of course, is the stand out track of the record for me as it is for so many others. There is a certain brillians to the arrangement with the overlong midsection and the quick start/stop verses. And the intro is just so perfect I just can't seem to get tired of it. For me it's really very...

    Running Free

    This was the first song I can remember really falling in love with, back when I was too young to have much taste in music at all, so it obviously have a very special place in my heart. It's quite a straight forward little rocker with ano awesome groove to it, I never felt the managed to...

    Remember Tomorrow

    This is a really nice, and unexpectedly slow, choice as a follow up to prowler. And it works! I always feel like the bass is "stumbling" a bit when hitting the same notes during the intro (and whenever that part returns) and I like it a lot, the obvious choice for me would have been to add...

    Prowler

    The guitar melody is really nice and I like the energy of it, the sped up middle part feels odd in a good way and I can't remember them doing that anywhere else, often changing riff instead. But its a song I keep forgetting when I'm thinking about the record and of course the lyrics takes a...

    Individual song polls

    Soon I'll start liking it out of spite. (I actually did enjoy it when it war released and haven't listened carfully to it for a long long time. I will certainly give it a new chance soon)

    TBOS Tour Predictions

    I guess there is a possibility of them skipping If eternity should fail, at least as an intro track, due to the tuning and go for speed of light - death or glory instead. And I'm really, really looking forward to the title track live. I will probably cry if I get a chance to witness that.

    Disc 1 vs Disc 2 (yeah, Travis is going to kill me)

    Disc one, for pretty much the same reasons as @SinisterMinisterX and @MrKnickerbocker have stated above.

    Iron Maiden songs that you flat out dislike?

    Can I play with madness, the chorus just annoys me so much, even if the rest is ok. Every time the intro yell comes my hand automatically reaches for the skip button. Still not unlisteneble or anything, some days it's a perfectly ok track, and I actually think there are worse tracks in my...
