Weakest Song from each Iron Maiden album

It almost feels like a loophole, and I took advantage of that.

Yup indeed. I simply love Killers in its entirety and think TIOM is a superb intro to the whole album. Nevertheless as a song per se lacks a bit more of passages and development... and that's totally fine and intentional because it's meant to be an intro. But yeah... is one hell of a loophole that prevents songs like Drifter or Another Life being thrown under the bus.

I never understood the hate for Gangland. Most Maiden fans seem to hate it. The only thing wrong with it for me is the unfinished solo section, I don't know what happened there, it would've made an already great song even better.

I think Invaders is way more corny and cringeworthy.
 
Time for an update.

After having listened to Senjutsu a lot, it seems to me the weakest song on the album is Hell On Earth. It doesn't click for me at all.

EDIT: I changed the title from worst to weakest song. It doesn't make sense to have the words "worst IM song" in the title in an IM fan forum. :p

''Hell On Earth'' the weakest song - wow! You should definitely revisit it more often.

Thumbs up about changing the title of the thread.
