Yeah man some of the bottom half is real silly. I love 11's cover and the perfection of 13 as an album excuses it from literally any problem I might have with the cover..it's about as "minimalist" as a Maiden album cover would ever be.
most album covers from these kinds of bands just look like comic book covers, which i can’t say is really a style of album art that appeals to me at all
Maiden album covers are like the really bad jokes your grandparents tell and you still laugh at them because theyre old and its not their faults. They're excused. They've been doing this since before most of us were alive.
