IRON MAIDEN STUDIO ALBUM COVERS SURVIVOR 2015: Results -> Somewhere In Time wins!

[Brigantium]

Wow I didn't expect Seventh Son to leave us that quickly. I had it as the third best cover behind Powerslave and SiT.

That's interesting, what do you like about it?

 

[The Flash]

Piece of Mind

 

[Saapanael]

I leave for a few rounds and Seventh, the best Maiden cover, is gone?

Killers and AMoLaD should get out of here.
-----------------
By the way, if we had to choose our favourite Eddie, I would choose this one:

 

[Night Prowler]

In case the tie remains, AMOL&D is out

 

[LooseCannon]

Broken, it has been.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

BAH. I love the Brave New World cover. It's the most subtle Maiden cover and, I think, one of the most effective. It really sets the mood for the whole album.

 

[Saapanael]

BAH. I love the Brave New World cover. It's the most subtle Maiden cover and, I think, one of the most effective. It really sets the mood for the whole album.

Couldn't have said it better.

 

[Forostar]

BAH. I love the Brave New World SSOASS cover. It's the most a subtle Maiden cover and, I think, one of the most effective. It really sets the mood for the whole album.

 

[LooseCannon]

For me, on both, the difference at this point is skill and caring. I love the BNW cover, but I love the other covers remaining better.

I don't love Seventh Son. It's cold.

 

[Forostar]

Because of the polar landscape? I like it. Coldness fits the album.

From a Riggs interview:

Why the polar landscape?

"I might have just seen a documentary about the North Pole or something. These are flying icebergs. You know, it can be something simple as that and I liked the idea. I wanted something that was a departure from all the cityscapes and things It was about prophecy and seeing the future, and so I just wanted something distant.

First 2.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

A Matter Of Piece Of Mind

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Looking at what's left, it's getting tough. My top two remaining would be Powerslave (has anyone cast a vote for Powerslave yet?) and Killers. I don't know if I could choose between those two, but it looks like Killers may not last long enough to force my hand.

 

[Brigantium]

AMOLAD, I don't want to vote for anything else just yet.

 

[The Flash]

Piece of Mind

 

[Forostar]

Good riddance, at last.

 

[Night Prowler]

Oh come on.

 

[RTC]

I might be going to hell about saying this about my favourite album of all-time...but no votes for Powerslave is over-rating it a little bit, right?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Why? It doesn't even have to mean anyone rates it first, just that everyone agrees it is one of the best.

PErsonally, I think it is the best one. Its grandiosity combined with the funny easter eggs makes for great art. The Somewhere in Time one is, if I dare say so, a bit overloaded.
