The Number of the Beast hardly gets mentioned on best Maiden discussions on here.

@train: Powerslave, closely followed by this.

Watch your language. You've seen wrong. Most times it's between Powerslave and Seventh Son. The Number Of The Beast is mentioned rarely.

Ye powerslave and 7th son are better than beast.

I prefer their first two to all the others though because i like Di'annos punky vocals whereas Bruce has an amazing voice but can't sing.

Album Rating: 4.5

i agree with the di'anno part but bruce's voice can turn my toe hairs right up on end

3rd best after Number of the Beast and Powerslave. Piece of Mind is the only 80's Maiden album that can be called inconsistent, as Jamie already pointed out. Most of their weaker material just lacks inspiration and/or is too repetitive (90's output mostly), but Quest for Fire is just bad.

still never heard the first 2 Maidens.

Yes some of the notes he can hit, his screams and the sheer power - he has an amazing voice.

I still think he can't really sing though, his phrasing is comedically bad sometimes and he totally lacks any versatility in style. Thankfully the quality of the music makes up for it.

manosg is right! The Number Of the Beast is rarely mentioned here. Come on guys, Number Of The Beast is the most influential metal album! It's full of epic songs such as Children Of The Damned, Hallowed Be Thy Name, 22 Acacia Avenue, Run To The Hills, Number Of The Beast, what else can be said about that masterpiece?! As for their debut album, Strange World is my favourite song. Great memories...

Best Maiden after the holy trinity.

What's the holy trinity?

Album Rating: 4.5

Number, Piece, Powerslave.



Sorry Jamie, I know you won't agree with this, but these three albums are Maiden's best moment. Seventh Son is on par with their debut.

Yeah I can't agree with the inclusion of Piece of Mind at all but each to their own.

Seventh Son should replace Piece in the "holy trinity"

Ok.

Sup?



Also, with regards to Piece of Mind the 'classic' tracks are among Maiden's best but Quest for Fire and Sun of Steel are kinda annoying.

I like Quest for Fire. One of my fav Maiden solos on it
