    What are the top 5 worst Maiden songs?

    I wouldn't say 10/10, but easily 8/10 or even a bit more. Great instrumental section indeed. What IMO downgrades it seriously (apart from the goofy lyrics) is Bruce's singing, especially those falsettos. A rare case in that regard.

    Megadeth

    I'd add two semicolons... it would add up to a whole divine colon, worthy of such a remark.

    Megadeth

    I see. But @srfc , there are commas before and after the sentence so it's a bit unclear what's it related to. So, I read it as "Megadeth releases since 2004 are usually ok" instead of "Megadeth lyrics since 2004 are usually dumb". A period point after ok would perhaps make the thought process...

    Megadeth

    Been watching your reviews and must say: aren't you being a tad bit unfair to Rust In Peace? Just 100% when you gave two songs 11/10? Meh. P.s. Jokes aside, yeah... hell of a disc, also my favorite Megadeth release, I love every single tune. Is it perfect? I don't know... IMO it may not be but...

    Megadeth

    Mmmm I personally have a distinct view. IMO Endgame sits comfortably among Megadeth's top 5 albums, with The System Has Failed being close. Both The Sick The Dying And The Dead and United Abominations are also really, really good records. Now, I know it's an unpopular opinion but, despite having...

    What are the top 5 worst Maiden songs?

    Yeah, I know. :ok: Agreed. And Blaze himself sounds so much better. I mean, down tuning sure did help, but besides that it's blatant how much of a better singer he is when compared with the late 90's. Even 1 tone down it would I'd seriously question the sanity of anyone who'd tell me two...

    Who got 'The X Factor'?

    Judgement Day is, simply put, my 2nd favorite track from the entire X Factor recording sessions only topped by Sign Of The Cross. And there's not a single song I dislike in Maiden's tenth album. That alone should tell you how much of a crime i consider leaving this gemout. I also like Justice Of...

    What are the top 5 worst Maiden songs?

    @Vaenyr one more point I think you're misunderstanding: I don't hate Virtual XI. My only gripe with it is: a) a focus on repetition on certain sections I can't wrap my head around (TAATG, DLTTEOAS, WTWC) b) besides The Clansman, Futureal and The Educated Fool everything sounds decent at best...

    What are the top 5 worst Maiden songs?

    I'm not mad with @SetHerInConcrete 's picks (obviously everyone is entitled to his opinion): only used the emoji since there's not one for "disagree". Indeed, I think DLTTEOAS is quite poor but even taking that into account it's not among my lowest of lows. And CEA is, IMO, decent. Then, as far...

    Anything going against the majority of Dave McKean's covers will have a hard time getting my vote.

    It isn't Depeche Mode. It was made by a Youtuber. Yet hell of a job... it really sounds like early DM.

    Rate all songs on Somewhere In Time best to least good

    You made a great point with your post with which I concur. I mean, we disagree on the ranking, but IMO everything here is at least an 8 (I think on my review I even gave an 8.5 as the lowest grade).

    Rate all songs on Somewhere In Time best to least good

    My favorite Maiden album. Here's why: 8 & 7: Stranger In A Strange Land, Deja Vu (excellent) 6 & 5: Sea Of Madness, Alexander The Great (amazing) 4 to 1: Caught Somewhere In Time, Wasted Years, Heaven Can Wait, The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner (flawless)

    Your bottom 5 Iron Maiden albums

    I personally would love to listen to renditions of Fortunes Of War and The Edge Of Darkness. But taking into account the circumstances, I believe it's practically impossible. Were they to be played live or reworked, it would have been several years ago.
