GREATEST METAL ALBUM CUP - Winner: Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son!

[KidInTheDark666]

Yeah, it was fine, I was talking about the general progression rather than specifically saying this song. For what it's worth, I didn't enjoy Future of Mankind nearly as much as you. What's the rest of your top 5?

Hell Patrol
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
The Sentinel
Breaking the Law

 

[LooseCannon]

Yeah, none of those songs would touch my top 5. Breaking the Law is closest.

 

[Midnight]

Hell Patrol
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
The Sentinel
Breaking the Law

Replace Hell Patrol with One Shot At Glory, add Sinner (or Dissident Aggressor) to those four, and you have my list.

 

[Diesel 11]

Hell Patrol is my favorite Priest song (so fucking murderous) and The Sentinel is probably in my Top 5 too.

But I also don’t rate Future Of Mankind as highly as some, but many it needs more listens to get. It just kinda bored me. I really like Prophecy and Persecution though, and some of the other songs have good moments, but as a whole it’s a hard record to sit through.

 

[Shmoolikipod]

I don't think Hell Patrol is as prominent as the other songs on that album, but I mean, it's Painkiller and someone must get the short end of the stick...

 

[KidInTheDark666]

it's Painkiller and someone must get the short end of the stick...

Yeah, Leather Rebel and Metal Meltdown.

 

[Shmoolikipod]

Yeah, Leather Rebel and Metal Meltdown.

Well they get the slightly less short end of the stick

Does the smiling smiley has a more curved smile than before or is that just my imagination?

 

[Midnight]

Leather Rebel and Metal Meltdown

Leather Rebel's thunderous drumming saves it. Metal Meltdown, however...

 

[KidInTheDark666]

I mean, I love every song on that album, being the weakest song of the bunch is really not a big deal.

 

[DJ James]

Hell Patrol
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
The Sentinel
Breaking the Law

That's a good list

 

[Whooten]

The Sentinel

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Yeah, I believe most fans have that one up there.

 

[DJ James]

Every track on Defenders has such a great atmosphere. It's such a distinctly 80's sounding album.

My top five Priest tracks:
1. Battle Cry
2. A Touch of Evil
3. The Hellion/Electric Eye
4. Night Comes Down
5. Heading Out to the Highway

 

[Diesel 11]

Battle Cry

Your favorite Priest song is an interlude?

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Your favorite Priest song is an interlude?

This one's on Redeemer of Souls.

The interlude is called Battle Hymn.

 

[LooseCannon]

Judas Priest hunts down Murg, who are eliminated. It's Entombed next.
Rainbow firmly defeats Audioslave. That was their only album, and next up for Rainbow is Razor.
Iron Maiden returns another victory, this time over Bathory. There's three Bathory albums left, the next in League 4.
Deep Purple stops Mekong Delta's GMAC run. We'll see how they do against Linkin Park in League 7.

Oh no...

Your favorite Priest song is an interlude?

I can't tell if this is supposed to be sarcastic or not.

 

[Saapanael]

That means someone nominated NPFTD!

 

[LooseCannon]

Forostar also nominated NPFTD, which is why it's not in yet.
