IRON MAIDEN ALBUM SURVIVOR 2023: Results -> Somewhere In Time wins!

[Diesel 11]

I encourage y’all to go back and look at past games hosted here and you’ll see that Somewhere In Time frequently wins these games or comes within striking distance. There’s no reevaluation or real tour bump imo (other than Alexander doing so well in the survivor). More like the album has been so hyped by fans that Maiden is currently on a fan service tour dedicated to it.

It never does poorly but usually SSOASS decimates the competition. That it might actually lose this survivor is a shock.

The quality difference between Powerslave, SiT and SSOASS is so slim I could have just rolled a dice or whatever to determine my vote. My reasoning for which is superior varies on a whim, so I’m with Vaenyr on this one.

I wouldn't say it "decimates", 3 years ago it beat Powerslave by like one vote on two different occasions (both in the survivor and the GMAC). Speaking of GMAC, SiT tied with Ride the Lightning there, which was then demolished by Seventh Son 23-9. You can chalk it up to minds rotating but that's a big shift. The real elephant in the room is Powerslave not even making top 3

Personally speaking, even if the current tour had been themed after Powerslave album, I would have still went for Somewhere In Time.

This battle is all pageantry. We know that the best Iron Maiden album is Senjutsu.

Thank you, Nicko. We'll check back on your opinion after the next Maiden album is released!

Was going to post basically the same thing. Well done!

Great to see some love for Somewhere in Time. It's the album that got me into the band in the 80s and remains my favorite by them to this day.
Also that tour was the only time I saw them in concert which is an issue I look forward to correcting at some point.

What a crock of SIT, clearly SSOASS deserved the win!

What a shitshow. At last it's over and we can continue with Bruce's albums.

Thank you @Night Prowler for going through the effort and organizing the whole thing!
