Your Maiden blasphemy

[stallan]

Adrian has an amazing voice. I dig his bluesy/raspy tone. I wish his mic was louder than Steve's.

 

[Black Bart]

they really need to cut Steve and Adrians mics. Who keeps encouraging them to sing?

That's Dave. And then he smiles a lot because he is proud of his mischief.

I think the chorus of the trooper sounds like "placeholder" whoooaaa-ing that Maiden got too lazy to find lyrics for.

 

[Mosher Zone]

Iron Maiden has to play alot more from the X-Factor and Virtual XI live, maybe even a tour just spanning from 95-'06 period

I couldn't see that being as popular as the 80s tours.

Speed of light is the best single since Be quick or be dead.

 

[Black Bart]

Speed of light is the best single since Be quick or be dead.

Well, duh!

I find it interesting that some reviews claim Book of Souls as the best since 7th Son, when I'll take all 4 reunion albums in a heartbeat over 7th Son. And possibly Virtual XI too.

Seventh Son is the only perfect 10/10 album in Maiden's catalogue. If this is even close to that, it'll make the top five.

 

[The Nomad]

Seventh Son is the only perfect 10/10 album in Maiden's catalogue.

AMOLAD is 10/10 for me as well.

 

[TheSpectreWithin]

SIT and AMOLAD are the perfect 10s for me, with Seventh Son and Powerslave just behind them.

 

[Forostar]

Giving Can I Play With Madness a 10, that's pretty unpopular indeed.

 

[bornless1]

Pom/poweslave/DOD/ssoass. All perfection. Amolad/tnotb/sit. 9/10 .
Killers/bnw/8/10. Ff 7/10. Im 6/10
Fod/no prayer X factor virtual around 5. I'm thinking BOS may get a whole new category wherein the denominator is a smaller number....

True. Same with giving The Prophecy a 10, but they both fulfill incredibly necessary tracks on the album and enhance the whole.

 

[bornless1]

Cipwm is the weakest song on an otherwise super stellar album. The prophesy is excellent and has really become a favorite of mine over time. Having madness as a single and setlist semi-staple kinda blows my mind. Doesn't represent the album well.

 

[viced92]

Am I the only one who is completely underwhelmed by the last 3 songs on 7th Son? That's why I rate this album so low in Maiden's history. To me the album feels like a perfect 5 song EP with 3 bonus tracks that are just good, not great.

 

[Gk1]

If TXF gets a 9/10 how should SSOASS be rated??? 20 /10?!

Yep.

CIPWM and Prophecy are undoubtedly the weakest songs on the album. The last two tracks are brilliant.

I feel like I am in the minority in saying The Prophecy is a great song. I would give it a 10/10. I love the groove, the riffs and the acoustic outro.

 

[Iron Souls]

Agreed. I prefer it to Moonchild myself.
