Killers or Number of the Beast. Bass and drums are absolutely kicking on both!

Tough one. Think I'm gonna go with TNOTB. Nice and crunchy (the intro of 22 Acacia Avenue being a nice example).

I like Different World. My favourite song of that ilk (i.e. the rocking shorter post-reunion singles). I see people saying they don't like the Prophecy. I can't get on board with that that all; I just finished listening to it actually. It's a towering pillar of Dave Murray brilliance. Loads of...

The title track from The Final Frontier has grown on me a lot recently. I was really not a fan until very recently, but now I like it a lot more.

Wow! I couldn't disagree more. I think it's a pretty terrible song in almost every way! Still, if you rate it so highly then its existence is justified in some way so fair enough.

Now I love pretty much all Maiden but after seeing some people's opinions on here about songs that they hate that I really think are great it got me thinking about which songs I actually really flat out don't like. This is what I've got: Invasion Charlotte The Harlot Invaders Quest For Fire...

If we're doing ratings, these are mine: Iron Maiden - 7.5 Killers - 8.5 TNOTB - 8.5 POM - 7.5 Powerslave - 10 SIT - 10 7th Son - 10 NPFTD - 7.5 FOTD - 7.5 TXF - 7.5 VXI - 6.5 BNW - 8.5 DOD - 7.5 AMOLAD - 9 TFF - 7.5 TBOS - ?

I realise this thread is ancient, but when I was a kid I thought the lyrics to Killers were "You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your bike".

Pretty sure they played Auckland in 1992...

I liked it a lot at the time.

Me too! I really dig that song.

And don't forget Steve on the drums!

Fair enough. It does nothing for me... an uninspired main riff and really poor production. It was the most disappointed I've ever been by a lead-off single...

They played Earl's Court on 16th of June 2000, again on the Dance of Death tour in December 2003 and then 2 nights on 22 and 23rd of December 2006 on AMOLAD tour. Those were the only times. I went to all of them!

Seventh Son is a chuffing brilliant album. All criticism will be disregarded.

I'm not mad about the first half of the album. El Dorado is bobbins, and The Alchemist doesn't do much for me either. But from Isle of Avalon it really gets going. I love Wild Wind Blows; the only song where I've shed tears at a concert. And The Man Who Would Be King might be the best song on...

It's my favourite album with the current line-up. The perfect balance of light and shade. Feels like you're going on a journey. I like an album that challenges the listener a bit; the most rewarding records are always the ones that take you a while to understand fully. Brave New World is more...

I never put two and two together before, but that seems absolutely right. Well done!

Wow, how wrong is it possible to get a set of lyrics? http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ironmaiden/speedoflight.html

Maybe in Greek Metal Hammer... in the UK Metal Hammer Dom Lawson reviewed VXI, gave it 8/10 and said it was their best album since 7th Son!
