Your Maiden blasphemy

[Confeos]

The way you say it sounds as if Silicon Messiah was weak. Which is the biggest blasphemy here.

Don't worry, I rank Silicon as one of Blaze's very best efforts (though not THE best)!

 

[Diesel 11]

I’ve been listening to Silicon more and more lately and I’m starting to think it might actually be better than Infinite Entanglement. Rich sound, great singing, excellent production, amazing lyrics...

 

[Confeos]

I find it better than 2/3 of the excellent Infinite Entanglement-trilogy at the least.

Silicon Messiah is one of the most criminally unknown heavy metal albums of them all. It's Blaze's masterpiece.

I listened to it maybe a year ago and there wasn't a single good song on the album.

Ouch, now that’s a blasphemy.

I wouldn’t totally agree with this, but it’s not far off. Massively overrated album. It has two songs that both heavily rip off “Man On The Edge”, the songwriting is largely “meh”, and Blaze misses notes left and right.

Andy Sneap produced it, so everything sounds great in that respect, and it was still a step up from Virtual XI, but otherwise I don’t understand the love that this album gets. To me it’s clearly the worst of Blaze’s listenable solo albums (The King Of Metal is so awful that it’s in its own class entirely).

Blasphemy?

I would have loved if maiden continued what they did on "Prodigal Son" (and "Strange World" to some extent) on their following albums.
A big fan of the softer and proggy elements on that song, it has a unique contrast to the rest of the maiden songs.

Oh yeah. They are more progressive IMO than the recent long songs.

 

[Diesel 11]

Strange World is the only good mellow song on the first two albums. Remember Tomorrow sucks and Prodigal Son is weak.

Here's a very random blasphemy I just discovered listening to isolated guitar tracks: the riff under the solo in Infinite Dreams is so good it should've been made into its own song. Fuck, it's better than more than a few main riffs on Seventh Son.

There was some great ones during the period SIT to FOTD, others that spring to mind CSIT, HCW, The Assassin and The Fugitive. There's more on other tracks too that don't spring to mind.

[karljant]

Well, Fillers is my least favorite album for obvious reasons, but that isn't blasphemy.

of course not...

Stop. You know very well that those back-to-back Davey solos on Prodigal Son are the highlight of Killers!

Remember Tomorrow is good but the Maiden Japan version absolutely destroys the studio one

 

[Saphrax]

Maiden Japan is what got me to go back and listen to the Di’Anno era Maiden albums when I first got into Maiden in the mid-80’s.

Remember tomorrow is a great song and prodigal son is terrific too. I'd place these way above any of the blaze era songs.

"Sign of the Cross" says hi.

 

[MindlessPieces]

Powerslave has 4 fillers and 1 extremely overrated song which starts with letter R...

Rime is definately overrated it's too long with repetition does get a bit boring. But there are no fillers on powerslave. All great songs

"Sign of the Cross" says hi.

Saw it on youtube on the latest tour. It seemed boring even with Bruce signing it.
