I think this bit The black jack king and the red queen clash The artful dodger, he counts his stash The joker's wild like an impish child While Madame Fortune see what's inside SLIGHTLY resembles this bit The mariner kills the bird of good omen His shipmates cry against what he's done But...

This will end up in my top 20 I think. There is just too much win to overpower a few of the negatives. A bit like the legacy. The legacy's first 3 minutes is boring imo but the last 3 minutes I one of the best things maiden has done

I would have this 1. If eternity should fail 2. Death or Glory 3. The Red and the Black 4. Man of Sorrows 5. Shadows of the Valley 6. Book of Souls 7/ Tears of a clown 8. Empire of the clouds

It resembles rime slightly in places

I agree that it would be a good song live but I think it's very very far from being a classic

Along with WTRRD, I find this to be the most forgettable and "fillerish" song on the album

If the trooper was released nowadays it would be considered a fairly average rocker, maybe even a bit fillerish. Maybe ...

I think it's Bruce's worst vocal performance out of the 5 golden era albums. He sounds a tad strained in places. Still a great vocal performance though

My opinion keeps changing on this one. To me it feels longer than empire of the clouds and there are a lot of sections that feel dragged on and didn't need to be repeated so much. And as great as Adrians 2nd solo is, it feels like it doesn't need to be there. I also feel that the bass outro and...

I'm very surprised that gates of tomorrow hasn't had many mentions. Sanctuary Fears is the key The apparition Weekend warrior The duelists (decent instrumental section) Mother of mercy Gates of tomorrow Wildest dreams Most of NPFTD

He does make some good points. Also, a lot of older fans may over rate the "golden era" albums due to nostalgia

Maybe so ... Only exception might be dance of death due to wildest dreams, gates of tomorrow and new frontier (songs i consider really weak)

I've just listened to SIT as a whole for the first time in about 5-6 years. Wow, Beforehand i was certain that this was the best and my favourite classic maiden album and only surpassed by brave new world. Apart from Stranger in a strange land which I gave a 9/10 and Deja vu and heaven can...

At the moment I'm struggling to decide between the final frontier and book of souls. In terms of overall quality its a actually very close. WTWWB, IoA, Starblind, is equally as strong as (if not stronger than) TRATB, BoS, EoTC, but on the final frontier you've also got the talisman, coming...

Anyone think the guitar melodies need a bit more variation. Maybe even a harmony or two ?

Another unpopular opinion Half of Powerslave is pretty poor and I would take the x factor and virual XI over piece of mind and Powerslave any day of the week.

For me, it's probably the best of the 5 golden era albums. SIT NoTB SSoASS PoM PS

Would be really nice if they played something obscure but popular amongst hardcore fans. Maybe sea of madness or Judas be my guide

Out of Adrians top 10 solos I would say 4 are off this album (CSIT, wasted years, SoM, SIASL). For me, this is the album where he surpassed Dave as a lead guitar player. The only downers with this album is the lack of a masterpiece (think hallowed, paschendale, starblind etc) and Bruce...

Not sure if it's superior to BNW. It's a close call imo. Behind starblind and paschendale I think brave new world (the song) has the best written lyrics out of any maiden song. But then again, apart from the title track, blood brothers, ghost of the navigator, out of the silent planet and maybe...
