IRON MAIDEN ALBUM REFERENDUM 2020: Results -> Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son wins!

[MrKnickerbocker]

Killers and only Killers.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Voting against one of Maiden's best and most coherent albums with so much boring bloated recycled shit available?
Well done, the Anti-Killers Brigade!

At least those other albums spread the recycling out over many years. Killers starts recycling within each song.

 

[Whooten]

Nah, those verses are so good you just have to repeat them!

Killers is too raw for my taste. Powerslave has more energy, and the reunion albums have more atmosphere (and no ballads).

 

[MindRuler]

the reunion albums have more atmosphere (and no ballads).

I take Prodigal Son over almost any reunion song.

 

[Kalata]

Killers

I hope you're joking. I stand with Diesel on Prodigal Son's quality.

 

[MindRuler]

No, I'm not joking. That song contains my favorite H' solo.

 

[DJ James]

In this order:

Dance of Death
Virtual XI
The Number of the Beast
Fear of the Dark

I take Prodigal Son over almost any reunion song.

I don't want to get into a boring discussion of whether song x is better than song y, but Wrathchild, Murders in the Rue Morgue and Killers are also absolutely top tier Maiden tracks.

Good tracks indeed, that's why I don't understand the Killers album dislikes here. Is it the Di'Anno factor?

 

[FTB]

No Prayer for Killers

Maybe, but also a nice slice of the album is generally considered filler.

Truth! Too bad about the rest of the album.

 

[MindRuler]

Maybe, but also a nice slice of the album is generally considered filler.

Drifter and Innocent Exile perhaps although I really dig the latter because of the instrumental section at the end.
That's a rather small slice...

 

[Whooten]

There is more filler in The Red and the Black than all of Killers combined.

 

[Magnus]

Drifter and Innocent Exile perhaps although I really dig the latter because of the instrumental section at the end.
That's a rather small slice...

There isn't a single weak song on Killers, and it is the second and last Maiden album to boast that.
