Interesting way of looking at it, how so? I'd say it fits the "short rocker" description better than most other post-reunion short rockers, and has a very typical structure for a shorter song, especially compared to some other short rockers which have one verse then go off on a bit of a...

10 minutes is definitely excessive, but I wouldn't go as short as the single version, I'd like it if it were 6, 7 or even 8 minutes.

The wave of votes for The Angel and The Gambler is bonkers, there are far worse songs on this list than one that simply goes on a bit too long. I would choose to listen to Angel over a fair few of these songs, like Drifters, Invaders, Quest for Fire, Another Life or DLTEOAS.

It also says (in French) "mixed by Andy Sneap" at the start ;)

Relistened to this killer album today and thought this is more what I'd like Maiden to sound like, rather than an Invincible Shield/Firepower-esque sound. It's punchy, powerful and clear but lacks Sneap's pristine cleanliness, it's still got a bit of grit and rawness. (Also a good opportunity...

I think it was @Jer that originally pointed this out, but it's the same melody as the guitar intro of Welcome to the Jungle. Once I made that connection I couldn't unhear it <_< Other than that I do quite like the song, copy-and-pasting and all.

Mother of Mercy! Angel of Death's desirMother of Mercy, taking my last breath of firMother of Mercy! Angel of paaaain! Mine too, but not so much for the chorus. I don't like the last line of the intro when he sings "I'm a soldier of wAaAaAaR!!", sounds like he's playing a ghost going...

Bring Your Daughter I think is only bad in comparison to Bruce's version. Bruce's is slower, moodier, dirtier, slinkier, and I love Janick's bright, twangy guitar tone. Maiden's take loses a lot of the attitude and the guitar tones suck.

What of?

Mission From 'arry is a unique number in Maiden's discography. It has great energy, some really introspective lyrics and powerful performances from Nicko and Steve. It's also the best song Nicko received a writing credit for. Age of Innocence (How Old?) is still better than the album version...

And From Here to Eternity and Wasting Love, two I'd place above Childhood's End. So it's at least seven :ok:

PoM has a run of six top-tier songs in a row (Where Eagles Dare through Still Life), which is unrivalled in any other Maiden album, but tanks pretty hard in its final three songs and ends with Steve's weakest epic of the eighties. BNW has a number of top tier songs too, although not in a...

Interesting interpretation. Care to elaborate?

Montsegur's happy chorus rips, fuck all y'all. :p In all seriousness, it does feel a little jarring compared to the heavy badassery of the rest of the song... but I don't care, it's a fun section and the rest of the song is too good to let a little out-of-place moment bring it down.

Not in the slightest. No Prayer has more in common with Seventh Son than BNW does.

Having recently discovered the joys of ginger beer (and adding alcohol to it, in the form of a nice rum) I decided to try Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer. It's good. I would like to try some of the fruity flavoured ones next.

The title track firmly wedged itself into my top ten shortly after release, gradually climbed to #2 and has refused to move ever since, not that I want it to. It only follows The Evil That Men Do, which is mostly #1 for being the song that made Maiden my favourite band. In my very disorganised...

This is the only insight into Birch's production that I could also remember. If Birch was gonna have any hand in Steve's songwriting then he should've told him to leave guff like Quest for Fire off Piece of Mind. :lol: I wasn't pointing fingers in any particular direction, if I used your term...

lolwhat. The rhythm guitar track is barely audible on TXF but can easily be heard on the last few albums, how can you even hear it to know that it's better? All this talk of Kevin needing to rein Steve in and trim some of the albums down, did Martin Birch ever have a hand in the songwriting...

I had a dream that I had a horrible tooth infection, it spread to the rest of my lower gums and under my tongue. When I brushed and flossed the following morning my gums were sore. :S
