Mosh’s Top 16 Maiden Albums

[Collin]

The X Factor is quite the emotional ride. From the terrorizing mental scars of war to the unjustifiable hatred of parents. Great review!

 

[Night Prowler]

Your list is shite, @Mosh. You can't just rank albums like that without telling us your ranking system. n/100 system is needed, I'd even go as far as to allow n/10, but never n/5.

 

[LooseCannon]

I can't believe you would rank some albums so low. Is there really a situation where any of these albums would be ranked 16th? I don't believe it.

but never n/5.

Spoiler

I feel like this is directed at me, but even it isn't, I've actually changed my rating scales to be n/5 now (except for albums which are still n/10). It feels simpler and helps my mental processes.

 

[Night Prowler]

Nah, I was just making a random joke, I dunno how you rank stuff

 

[Mosh]

Good idea.

FOTD: 1/10
Virtual: 3/10
No Prayer: 3/10
TBOS: 4/10
Powerslave: 5/10
Number: 5/10
BNW: 6/10
DoD: 6/10
X Factor: 8/10

1 means total shit, 10 means masterpiece. It is the only rating system that makes sense imo. That said, even the worst Maiden album is still awesome and way better than most music.

Mosh embodies list culture.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

What is list culture though? That's a debate we need to have.

Empire still gets a 10 though, right?

12.

If it ruins more online friendships than Fugitive vs. Starblind than I guess we could.

 

[Black Wizard]

@Mosh can you rank the live albums and compilations after?

 

[Mosh]

I can do that after I rank the songs, the album covers, the band members, and Bruce's pants.

 

[Ariana]

Don't forget Adrian's hairstyles.

Sorry it took so long to update this, these writeups take a lot of time!

7. Iron Maiden 8/10
The singing and the production on this is really bad but it's the first Iron Maiden album so I have to give it credit.

6. Killers 8/10
Purgatory is a shit song, the singing is still bad, but they improved the production which makes this one better.

5. Seventh Son Of a Seventh Son 9/10
This album is a masterpiece among concept albums. It's better than The Wall, Mindcrime, and Tommy. Maiden are master storytellers. Why hasn't this been made into a movie?? It is one of the greatest stories ever told.

 

[Black Wizard]

@Mosh why aren't you tell us you're favourite and least favourite songs from each album anymore?

4. The Final Frontier 10/10
This album sounds just like Dream Theater which is awesome because they are my favorite band.

 

[Diesel 11]

Thanks for giving me more reason not to listen to Dream Theater.
