When Adrian Smith and Bruce Dickinson left Iron Maiden in the early 90s, there was an outcry among Maidenfans around the globe. When Blaze joined the band and released two great albums, people rejected Maiden because Bruce wasn't there. IMO anyway, TXF and VXI are two of Maiden's best albums.
When "the great reunion" happened in 1999, people hailed Bruce as a saviour from the doldrums of Blaze. When BNW was released, people hailed it as one of the best Maiden albums. I rate BNW lower than any Blaze material. If you delve into the music and study it, TXF beats BNW anyday. It's the same, but to a lesser extent true, for DOD.
My question here is, are Maiden any better with Bruce and Adrian? The live performances may well have improved but has the studio produced music?
