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.

[@jye_24]

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!

Got me back in time when both of us were in a band (buddy on guitar, me on bass) playing maiden songs. Never thought I'd be seeing Paul's last gig then and that friend would play on stage with him.

Just saw them live here in Argentina. They're rock solid as always and every band member is like 70 y old. It's insane. Just told my friends last night that I think Maiden is probably the most regular (stable in time) performant bands ever. They've never really had lows, dramas or breakups. Something truly rare to see in rock / metal. They're just legends. It's worth every penny and much more to go to their concerts. My favourite albums have to be Brave New World, The Number of the Beast, Seventh Son. Loved Dance of Death as well. Their entire discography is really pretty much perfect.

X Factor is a masterpiece

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.

Judgement of Heaven has beautiful lyrics.

4:54 best part of the video

I'm one of the very few that prefer Paul's voice over Bruce's. I just don't like all those screams hitting very high notes lol

[@Chilliconcarnage]

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

[@manuele.itriagom.728]

Brave New World is such an amazing album in my opinion.

[@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.

[@yairmimran729]

A little question to people that know more than me about this subject, which is most people here I assume. In the 2015 remasters of the first few albums, did they also redo the lyrics and vocals or is it still that guy before Bruce? What do you think about those remasters in general?

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

[@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 .
