Hot take: Maiden's first two albums are actually pretty underrated. Sure, it's not as refined as their later work, but it still has some of the strongest bangers they've ever written: Iron Maiden, Prowler, Phantom of The Opera, Remember Tomorrow, Killers, Wrathchild etc. It's pretty beloved around here in Brazil Plus Paul is actually a pretty good vocalist and fitting in the style of the first 2(I actually took a photo with him :) ), despite Bruce being way better

[@Ghost-yf5km]

Bro, Wrathchild is very good. The speediness of that song.

Without Paul there wouldn't be a Maiden he was the reason they got a name for themselves. The different Atmosphere on the first 2 albums is amazing!

killers is the best sounding maiden record. after killers, the guitars got thin and hissy, and the bass lost any shred of balls, becoming a "clackity" mess.

Empire of the Clouds is a godlike song imo. And yeah I would tend to agree on Seventh Son being one of my favorites as well, it's just so good lol.

[@cbr9914]

i find the first 4 min or so of empire just a snooze fest. once the whole band picks up the opening theme, after all the verses, the song really takes off and is one of my fav maiden moments.

I was listening to a NWOBHM playlist and all I could think of was that I totally get it why Iron Maiden is the most popular.

Song structure, riffs, basslines, melodies, solos, vocals (both Di'anno and Dickinson), just about everything was on point whereas other bands were lacking at least one aspect

[@nachofast6144]

You might be the only person I've ever seen ranking X Factor below Virtual XI. I REALLY like X Factor and think it's in the better half of Maiden's albums but I can get why people would dislike em. Sign of the Cross, Lord of the Flies and Fortunes of War are all bangers IMO

[@robbaldwin2402]

I think X Factor might be one of the albums I've listened to the most; there's some really good guitar work going on in the background, especially the smouldering stuff on The Unbeliever, and Blaze's voice is moody and dark. I basically put it on after dark and just let it wash over me.

[@evilj]

Imagine if they downtuned to accommodate for Blaze's voice

[@talaniel]

The Unbeliever is great! Well, regarding Blaze - he is a baritone and struggles with higher notes. He made some mistakes on the album, lol, no autotune there for sure. But I still think TXF is one of their best albums.

Once I listened to all their albums, I went back to "Somewhere in Time", it's my favorite album. I actually do love the Blaze era. I wish the production was better and I wish they had tuned down for his voice. Listen to his solo band playing "Sign of the Cross". It's AWESOME! Since Bruce and Adrian rejoined, "Dance of Death" is my favorite. "Brave New World" is great, I wish "X-Factor" hand that production. LOVE "Book of Souls". I think it's interesting how some of those albums are ok recording but actually sound great live. I think I like more songs in "No Prayer for the Dying" than in "Fear of the Dark".

A Matter of Life and Death is still the best post-Reunion album IMHO and very underrated.

[@rabarebra]

I don't disagree, but I'd say Brave New World, A Matter of Life and Death and Book of Souls is their top three albums post-2000.

[@matheussantos9367]

My most listened album by them honestly. It was released right as I got into them, and back then I couldn’t download music and make cds because I was too young, so I blasted my dad’s bootleg Live After Death cd, Rock in Rio and AMOLAD non stop on my disc-man

[@Snyperwolf91]

I think Razörfist brought it more on point in his Metalmythos . The old 80s songs are great , the start of the 90s it has the best stuff and towards middle of the 90s it drops .

[@brianjones9392]

You look like Stuttering John.

I'm a major Maiden fan. Like you, they were one of the first Metal Bands I heard, and I first heard them around Brave New World / Dance of Death's released. My favourite thing about Maiden is that if you've heard one album, you've heard them all. You can guess where all the chord changes, solos, fills, etc are.

[@thenerevarine196]

When you said "Brave New World" is the best Iron Maiden album of all time, you spoke right into my heart. AT LAST, someone who agrees with me. Not a single filler on that album. Masterpiece!

[@hnorrstrom]

I fully agree. Really every track is good on that album the rest of the albums just have a few good ones and the rest are annoying.

15 years ago I met Paul D'anno at the Camden Lock pub.

[@rabarebra]

We have all met him in a pub the last 20 years doing his awful gigs. Nothing special.

[@forbiddenrng1627]

imo a matter of life and death >>> dance of death

[@MrBonified66]

Totally agree, I think it's not even close.

[@sotonizator]

I think, Somewhere in Time is the most "Adrians" album, mb thats why it is my favorite one.

[@MatKelo9]

X Factor is a masterpiece

[@WastedYears76]

Love this dude he’s like the Joe Wicks of heavy metal. Somewhere in time is the best!

[@demogorgon1856]

Personally Senjutsu and Somewhere In Time are both my favorites, but man the title track of Killers is probably one of my favorite songs ever Playing it on bass is super super fun and imo has one of the best bass intros/main riffs of all time. W band.

[@DIMEZELMOZFIRE]

I just love the "Piece of mind" & Powerslave" in the Bruce æra & Paul, s Killer... 🤘🤘🤘

[@spiderpig7253]

7/8 in Alexandar the great is beacuse that is typical Macedonian rhytam

[@arneboom]

Agree on quite a lot of stuff, but did not expect that you'd rank Book of Souls that low! That album is so amazing in my opinion. But no one asked for my opinion I guess... Sorry.
