The only inconsistency about Piece of Mind is varying levels of how much better a particular song is than every song on AMOLAD. I will agree that AMOLAD is Maiden's most consistent album, the problem is that it is consistently monotonous and that is not a good thing.

Looks like the voters are indeed staying away from Captain Howdy

I was just a little surprised by the fact an album that, if not defined an entire genre, was at least a tent pole for an entire scene that took over music in America for almost a decade. It was originally released before The Number of the Beast, for historical context. And to lose to Alter...

This Motley Crue blowout is either really surprising or I am really old!

IF Iron Maiden were to be chosen for induction to the Rock Hall and IF they were to attend, they would have the opportunity to play a ~20 minutes set. What do you think they would play? Would they include Iron Maiden? Hallowed? Would they let Paul perform Wrathchild with them? 1) The Trooper 2)...

Has anyone actually gotten one of these puzzles? I like puzzles enough, but 500 pieces doesn't seem like enough.

Blah, blah Blah, blah, blah? Blah Blah, blah! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Voted for the same and fixed the AMOLAD statement for you.

#26 Best of the Beast (Riggs) Avg: 6.50 10:4 9:9 8:10 7:11 6:5 5:6 4:5 3:4 2:3 1:1 How many Eddies are too many? Nice mix of classic Eddies and a few more obscure ones as well. His face does look weird in a few of these.

If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.

The E stands for extended

#27 Flight of Icarus (Riggs) Avg: 6.45 10:2 9:3 8:11 7:15 6:12 5:7 4:3 3:5 2:0 1:0 I like it better than Matisse's Icarus. The detail of the denizens of hell is fantastic, Eddie's face not so much. The window of Eddie's cell from the cover of Piece of Mind is barely visible above Icarus...

...And April 1, 2050 is the release date of the next album ;)

#28 Wasted Years (Riggs) Avg: 6.41 10:3 9:5 8:9 7:17 6:7 5:7 4:2 3:5 2:3 1:0 My friend, Matt, had this poster on his wall. I thought it was weird that Eddie wasn't so prominent. Bunch of Easter eggs on the control panel is quite droll. This motif would return in 2015 via the Speed of Light...

#29 Sanctuary (Riggs) Avg: 6.28 10:5 9:6 8:9 7:8 6:7 5:11 4:3 3:6 2:2 1:1 Eddie of Iron Maiden is Killers(ing) Margaret Thatcher, current (at the time) Prime Minister of the UK, AKA the Iron Lady. It's a pretty good joke. I always feel something special about this yellow streetlight vibe of...

I also agree that TFF has held up quite well. In the long periods between albums I often wonder about what could have been and how the years and years that stretch on between releases could have been made more bearable. In my revisionist dream scenario, TFF would have been originally released as...

I can't vote against an album that has La Villa Strangiato on on, but Loosey is right. Celtic Frost may actually pull this one off.

Cue Giuliani.

Tie goes to the winner.

Only one song mentions cuddling.
