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.

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Dance of Death Piece of Mind Powerslave Somewhere in Time Brave New World The Number of the Beast A Matter of Life and Death Iron Maiden The X Factor No Prayer for the Dying Killers Virtual XI Fear of the Dark The Book of Souls Senjutsu The Final Frontier

I love the Brave New World and Dance of Death albums so much. The highs are wonderful. And I really enjoy the short songs from the Blaze era. Man on the Edge and Futureal would kill in a modern Maiden set

My example of this (from a different song) is the immortal line "they only fill us with the stuff that they want"

The most boring song of all time

Just feels like the same riff and tempo over and over for decades. Needed Harry to crowbar in a gallop section like he did for Brighter than a thousand suns

Lord of the Flies is only slightly above 5 minutes so it could sneak in too

Nicko was on fire on the Virtual XI tour. Listen to how fast and how energetically he plays fills on Futureal live in 98 (and 99 with Bruce). Yet he just plays straight through every song on the album. Very odd.

God the song Senjutsu is awful..

Always loved that cymbal fill Nick did

The songs blend into one for me but I don't dislike most of them

I forgot No Prayer has some nice shorter songs on there. I might swap Stratego off my list for Be Quick though
