There's no way.

 

[The Dissident]

Right!


Wrong (namely TLOTLDR, Heaven Can Wait, The Great Unknown and These Colours Don't Run)

To be fair every song you mentioned was an 8.5/10 barring 1 8/10 so I wouldn’t call them bad songs they are all strong but on masterpiece albums strong tracks can still be the weakest link

At least TLOTLDR and Heaven Can Wait are masterpieces themselves. Simply 2 of the best songs Maiden ever writen IMO. These Colours Don't Run is near. And The Book Of Souls, although being a great album, is nowhere near of a masterpiece.

 

[karljant]

1. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son: The evil that men do, The Prophecy, Only the good die young
2. Somewhere in Time: Heaven Can wait, Wasted Years, Deja vu
3. Powerslave: Back in the Village, Flash of the Blade, 2 Minutes to midnight
4. The Number of the Beast: Gangland, Invaders, 22 Acacia Avenue
5. Killers: Genghis Khan, Another Life, Purgatory

It got a bit better but still... The Prophecy, Heaven Can Wait, Wasted Years, Genghis Khan, Puurgatory.

As an heretic you shall remain!
