Bruce's Solo Discography Ranked - The Complete List

18: A Tyranny of Souls
Average Score: 8.62/10
Tyranny of Souls 8/10


TOS's most epic of title tracks makes its appearance. There were votes for 2 and 4 and whoever did that must be crazy. Awesome song. Everything is just... damn great. Doesn't deserve to fall here, let alone tie with "Abduction". This list is blasphemy! Someone direct me to the guy who compiled it, he obviously fucked up somewhere! Grrrrrrr!!!

Kinda surprised "Broken" is still around.
Yeah... good song but definitely should've been lower. Higher than "Trumpets"? That's just blasphemy! :D
Well speak of the devil....

One bonus track remains, and I think that, while not my personal favorite, it is high up on my list, and I think deserves where it's gone. "Broken"? Not so much....

In the darkness the raven's head
In the courtyard clothed in fear
I see gates that are opening
There's only one way out of here

Daylight has gone!
The night has come...

See his twisted sons and daughters
WRITHING slowly in Satan's mire
If you could only see the visions
Trembling world I now despise

As the veil reveals that outer darkness
I am sucked into the halls of flame...

ARISE
AWAIT
The King in Crimson comes
ARISE
AWAIT
The King in Crimson...
Crimson comes!

Seriously, this is one of the best album openers ever. Fucking incredible. AND THAT SOLO!!! wheewwww. Epic fuckery here. One of the best Bruce songs. Love it love it love it!!

It's interesting to note that The Chemical Wedding's opener and closer actually tied.
Aaaaaahhhh
Aaaaaahhhh
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
Aaaaaaahhhh
Aaaaaahhhh
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh

Don't try and blame me for your sins
For the sun has burned me black
Your hollow lives
This world in which we live -
I throw it back

Oooohhhh!

Don't try and blame me for your games
Your games are death!
My world is light!
The angels fill my eyes...
With every breeeeaaaaaath......



And so we lay
We lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day

And so we lay
We lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day

And so we lay
We lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day......

^best moment in music history. fucking tears--

"And all this vegetable world appeared on my left foot as a bright sandal, formed immortal of precious stones and gold. I stooped down, and bound it on, to walk forward through eternity..."

masterpiece album

Average Score: 8.8/10

I like "Road to Hell" a lot, but it's mainly your typically rocker-type song. Not the deepest kinda tune. Still, very nice, if overrated.

13: Man of Sorrows
Accident of Birth 8/12
Average Score: 8.81/10


I have a suspicion that "Man of Sorrows" is one of Bruce's personal favorite songs that he's written. Not only is it the theme from Chemical Wedding, but it also got several releases, including "Hombre Triste", a Spanish version. This song is almost underrated on this forum. It's a very, very good ballad. Emotional. Tear-inducing, even. Great song. Way better than the Maiden one.

Bonus Tracks 31/31


The highest bonus track makes the list! I think I mentioned before that this is the closest comparison anyone could make to "Aces High". Awesome song.

Choice comments:

Silver Wings is a dynamic kick ass song by the singer of our favourite band. Its lead guitar work and metal riffs totally annihilate the bulk of its concurrents. :bigsmile:
Silver Wings is definitely in my top 10 — (oops, too many spoilers here )
Silver Wings is cool too, I wouldn't mind seeing it in the top 10.

And the rest of your top 5 is "Zulu Lulu", "Lickin' The Gun", "Devil On A Hog", and "I'm In A Band With An Italian Drummer", no doubt. :p
Why? None of those received a 10 from me. I gave "Italian Drummer" a 2.
 
Less than a few, I thought....
I wasn't sure how long back it was that I said that, but knew it was more than a week. My point still stands; tastes change. And "Abduction" (along with some other ones) have been only growing lately.
