Your Maiden blasphemy

Hooks in You is awesome!

I love 'Hooks in You' as well. In fact I have two hi-res variations of it if you are interested.

I actually really like Quest for Fire quite a bit. Overall 'Piece of Mind' is a killer album from start to finish, although The Trooper is way overplayed. Both 'Number of the Beast' and Powerslave' are too overrated. To me 'Piece of Mind, Somewhere in Time, Seventh Son and Fear of the Dark' are far superior.

I also really really hate the new Eddies drawn by that polish chap and I also hate the Legacy of the Beast Eddies too.
 
Who is the Polish chap? I thought Mark Wilkinson or Melvyn Grant did the art now?

I can't seem to find his name, but Mark Wilkinson or Melvyn Grant did not do these eddies. Here are the eddies I don't like. Yes I know they are well done, but they don't click with me at all.

Piece of mind is their 5th best album. Better than Powerslave, TNOTB and Seventh Son. And sure as heck it's better than any of their albums from 90s.
 
VXI is near-perfect
I think I can agree with this to some extent. Really, the only problems I have with VXI are the production and the repetition (as much as I enjoy "The Angel and the Gambler" exactly the way it is, all of the songs off the album are repetitive, and listening to all together can be... maddening).
 
The X Factor and Virtual XI are both better albums than Piece Of Mind.

The X Factor is the worst Iron Maiden album, by far. (It's still worth an occasional listen, though, as nothing Maiden ever made is actually "bad".)
