I think Piece of Mind and Powerslave are equally consistent - which is to say, neither of them are. The main difference is that Powerslave spaces out its weaker songs, whilst Piece of Mind dumps them all in a row at the end. Powerslave works better as an album because you are never going to turn...

BNW, AMOLAD. Neither are top 10 Maiden albums, let alone top 5.

The While Heaven Wept song might be my favourite song from this cup I haven't heard before, honestly. I didn't have high expectations given the run time (and because the start made me expect harsh vocals for whatever reason) but that was a really good song. I stand by Dry County as a pick but I...

Most of my listening is done offline, so my Spotify Wrapped is basically calling me out on the guilty pleasures I've been too proud to just get physical versions of. It's not really a reflection of my day to day listening habits!

My bad, I thought I was voting for the albums that had no business still being here!

BNW, AMOLAD, Powerslave.

Even with PoM there it's my third favourite remaining after SSOASS and SIT.

None of those songs are worth keeping the album on for, and it suffers for putting them altogether at the end instead of spacing them out between the hits.

I've completely fallen out of touch with Marvel in the past couple of years and there's basically three reasons: 1) Quantity: The number of Marvel projects is too much to keep up with since they added in the TV shows. It's a minor miracle Endgame worked given the amount they had to take for...

Saxon, Nazgul, Nightwish (heh), Def Leppard, UTA, Saxon.

TNOTB has higher highs than any of the albums left, and whilst it has a couple of stinkers so does every album left except for SIT and SSOASS. It should have been top 5 in my opinion.

I was more referring to If The Story Is Over but 4000 Rainy Nights would've been an excellent choice too.

AMOLAD and BNW. Considered throwing in POM as well, because I usually turn it off as soon as The Trooper ends.

Regarding my power metal face off: I much prefer Stratovarius as a band to Sonata Arctica but I'm not too surprised by how it's going because I prefer FullMoon as well. Retrospectively I do wish I had gone for a less "safe" (recognisable) Stratovarius song though, if only to force you all to...

Personal opinions on AMOLAD aside, the bolded part is mostly what I'm getting at - NOTB is being massively undersold here.

The best song from AMOLAD would barely crack the top 5 on TNOTB.

Personal preferences aside I don't really get why TNOTB is leading in votes currently either. Listener fatigue is my best guess but it doesn't feel right to me for the album with three of the bands biggest hits of all time (RTTH, NOTB, HBTN) and another three popular deep cuts (COTD, Prisoner...

Bruce sounds good in parts of AMOLAD but in other parts (BTATS, Pilgrim) you can hear the strain beginning to set in which carried on into TFF. In TBOS it felt like he changed his singing style in places to accommodate this and I really like the end result. The Man of Sorrows is one of the...

Maiden's best album for me. A big part of that is probably that the tour for this was the first concert (Maiden or otherwise) that I ever attended, so there's nostalgia there, but I still think it holds up today. It also sounds so much better than the previous two albums - Bruce in particular...

TBOS is still #1 in my heart. Voted for AMOLAD.
