For me, I'm really torn between Number Of The Beast or Powerslave. I mean all the 80's albums they did are good contenders for number 1 for me

never liked them, they has no groove and swag and vocals are too theatrical but run to the hills song is pretty lit

>>127342420
Check out Paul Di Anno era, much better than Dickinson's

It switches between pretty much all their '80s albums depending on the mood though I've been on a Di'Anno kick for a while now.

Kys normalfagcattle

for me it gotta be Seventh Son of a Seventh Son chief. The Number of the Beast comes second though.

>>127342405 (OP)
I’ve been really liking Fear of the Dark lately.
>>127342538
The Di’Anno era is pretty interestjng. Lots of punk influence in the songs despite Steve Harris never wanting to talk about it.

>>127342538
This might be a little bit of a hot take but i prefer Killers and Murders in the Rue Morgue with Dickinson on vocals

>>127342420
Bruce Dickinson was great in Samson.

Always and forever.

/thread, you faggots

Recently hit the entire discography. Number might really be the best one. Those songs are just so strong, the playing is tight, Clive had more flavor than serviceable Nicko.
Hot takes: The Blaze stuff is the best of the 90s, and Fear of the Dark is the worst album in the discography.

>>127343218
I completely agree with all your points. I think the Blaze albums are way too over hated and they actually put out some decent songs with him

first 2 albums.
woulda been cool if remixed in the mid 80s with Dickinson vocals

Seventh Son

Off topic, but what is the general consensus on A Life of Matter and Death? I have good memories of the album, so I am biased

>>127343367
I would regard it as a good album, not as good as Brave New World but still good

>>127342420
That’s true

>>127343367
mostly good, although the production sucks and they haven't fixed it since because kevin shirley would make a chimney jealous with how much smoke he blows up their asses

Pic related is their best.

It's Piece of Mind and Still Life is their greatest track.

>>127343893
I had that album but Still Life was my least favorite on it.

Every single Maiden album is great and packs more riffs than p much any contemporary except perhaps Sabbath or 'tallica.

>>127343893
Still Life and Sun and Steel are my two favourite songs from the album. Both songs are massively underrated

>never liked them, but their most popular song is OK
Do you want the good news or the bad news? Good news is you can listen to the radio and enjoy it with no effort. Bad news is you're a pleb

Does anyone love Brave new world

>>127343161
Overall it's this, my favourite track from IM is Phantom of the Opera and I like the slightly more punk sound of the debut album.

>>127344385
Brave New World is actually my favourite Dickinson album for some reason. Either that or Powerslave. I really like The Wicker Man off it.

>>127344385
>>127343367
Yes, I think BNW, DOD and AMOLAD make up a great trilogy of new age Maiden. They weren't just a new style but a real revival

the first album and related singles, actually burning ambition was their peak fr fr

>The Alchemist
>Isle of Avalon
>Starblind
>The Talisman
>The Man Who Would Be King
>When the Wild Wind Blows
Yep, it's prog kino time

>>127345810
holy mother of BASED. always suspected people who hate this album are filtered by prog. and yeah the second half of this album is where it's at.
