IRON MAIDEN ALBUMS SURVIVOR: POWERSLAVE WINS

[Spaniard in the Works]

Killers is fun. Why do you hate fun?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Killers, because it's bad, and Dance of Death, in an attempt to protect X Factor.

 

[Edu_Smith]

Killers is wonderful and will go out .

 

[Spaniard in the Works]

Killers is wonderful and will go out .

I think that from the 80s catalogue only the debut, NOTB and Seventh son are clearly better. IMHO Killers is on the same level as Powerslave and Piece of Mind and better than SiT.

Yeh, that was pretty funny.

[Forostar]

Thank you!

Killers at third bottum, when TFF and DOD is still around. Meh.

 

[Forostar]

Current line-up and their releases are more popular out here. Sorry.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

I also hold Killers above DOD and TFF, but X-Factor is probably better than all three.

 

[Forostar]

The Killers killing collective is so huge that I wonder why they didn't get rid of it in the first place.

 

[Brigantium]

I'm sure I've been voting for Killers since the beginning, at least alongside No Prayer.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Alongside nothing here. Just voting Killers til it's dead.

 

[Perun]

Killers is probably my least favourite album, and I've been voting for it from the start.

 

[MindlessPieces]

Killers at third bottum, when TFF and DOD is still around. Meh.

But TFF is the best album Maiden have ever done.
Starblind
the Talisman
When the wild wind blow
Alchemist
Coming Home
Final Frontier

The only mistep is the man who would be king.

Dance of Death is also quite spectacular:
No more lies
Face in the sand
Dance of Death
Paschendale
Not as ground breaking as TFF but damn solid. No missteps at all. Certainly better than Killers and X Factor.

Put all those up against
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Wrathchild
Genghis Khan
Innocent exile
Prodigal son
Killers
Purgatory

And Killers rips both albums to shreds. Added factor is When the wild wind blows is as long as the entire Killers album.
Or it feels as long.

 

[The Flash]

Killers is my 4th least favorite Maiden album and my three least favorites already placed at the bottom three.

Totally agree. Killers is fast, aggressive and fun.

Totally agree. Killers is fast, aggressive and fun.

The debut has the advantage of better songs, but Killers has better production, better singing - I wonder if Martin Birch coached Paul a little, he also seems to be the producer with which Ian Gillan sang better - and Adrian. I also happen to think Killers is Clive Burr's finest hour.
