10.06.21 | why do u talk about heaven can wait on the seventh son section hmmm fake fan obviously!!!! |
parksungjoon
10.06.21 | im glad someone caught that :^)
cuz basically that album is the opposite of SiT. it does the poppy songs well and the proggy ones meh |
el_newg
10.06.21 | ah i see!
well, i've said it before and i'll say it again, first 7 top 7 any order. no arguments here 😎 |
GhandhiLion
10.06.21 | Bloody hell |
GhandhiLion
10.06.21 | Do tin jizzy next |
parksungjoon
10.06.21 | >Do tin jizzy next
cant be fucked to listen to all their albums so i might do a partial one |
parksungjoon
10.06.21 | or maybe not because no one on this site cares about that band |
Casavir
10.06.21 | 2 is 1. Good list. |
parksungjoon
10.06.21 | yea |
StormChaser
10.06.21 | 7 is 1 and the whole list sucks major balls |
parksungjoon
10.06.21 | shart harder poser |
Koris
10.06.21 | 7 should have been near the bottom, fuck that album |
StormChaser
10.06.21 | just tellin it like it is fam, try to hold the tears in |
parksungjoon
10.06.21 | naww 7 is what dance of death and all that crap wish they could be |
Koris
10.06.21 | It's legit one of my least favorite Maiden albums... the "prog" elements are so fucking try-hard compared to how natural they were on previous efforts, and Can I Play With Madness is among the worst Maiden songs I've ever heard tbh |
parksungjoon
10.06.21 | well i agree with ur specific criticisms at least |
WeepingBanana
10.06.21 | Haven’t jammed maiden in like forever and I’ve def not come close to hearing all their albums but I can confidently say Somewhere in Time is their objective best |
FellHanded
10.06.21 | lul |
TheSpirit
10.06.21 | 1 is 1 and powerslave is their most overrated album |
DePlazz
10.06.21 | Nice list.
I've never bothered with 8-15 tbh.
1, 2 and 5 their best imo |
Casavir
10.06.21 | Powerslave is not their most overrated lol |
FellHanded
10.06.21 | boomer music |
TheSpirit
10.06.21 | powerslave is half of the best music of their career and half of their most medicore
Best:
Aces High
Two Minutes To Midnight
Powerslave
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Mediocre:
the other 4 songs |
Casavir
10.06.21 | How anyone can consider Flash of the Blade and The Duellists overrated is incredible. Both are as great as telling a narrative musically as the Powerslave and Rime. |
StormChaser
10.06.21 | Flash of the Blade is a yuge track agreed |
Egarran
10.06.21 | One of their albums is soo underrated |
Flugmorph
10.06.21 | lol i never cared for this band |
Ryus
10.06.21 | bad band agreed |
WeepingBanana
10.06.21 | yeah I go with priest almost every time instead |
FellHanded
10.06.21 | tru |
Ryus
10.06.21 | i like iron maiden more than priest to be honest |
CygnusX1
10.06.21 | Only triggered by how much I agree, especially on 7th Son. Top 7 is mostly correct |
tectactoe
10.06.21 | nice |
WeepingBanana
10.06.21 | Dude priest have like 4 albums that are head and shoulders above maiden and like 3 that are as good as maiden’s best stuff |
GhandhiLion
10.06.21 | Nah |
TheSpirit
10.06.21 | Nothing Priest has done will ever top s/t, sorry |
WeepingBanana
10.06.21 | They’re better in literally every way imaginable |
Ryus
10.06.21 | "Dude priest have like 4 albums that are head and shoulders above maiden and like 3 that are as good as maiden’s best stuff"
not for me but i really dont feel too strongly about either band lol |
WeepingBanana
10.06.21 | Fair enough, priest are easily a top 20 band for me if you couldn’t tell |
Hyperion1001
10.06.21 | ima piss even more of you off
ive never listened to a single iron maiden album in full and i never plan to |
Relinquished
10.06.21 | guyz
opeth > maiden |
Hyperion1001
10.06.21 | wolfe chose violence today |
TheSpirit
10.06.21 | blink 182> opeth
so by extension blink 182 > maiden |
Ryus
10.06.21 | these are all correct takes |
Space Jester
10.06.21 | Parks dude Heaven Can Wait is on Somewhere In Time not Seventh Son and it’s not even a bad song!!! |
MrSirLordGentleman
10.06.21 | Glad to see someone going for the argument that X Factor and Virtual XI suck but NOT because of Blaze vocals. I still think both albums have a couple of classic songs each though
I can live with this list except maybe with No Prayer being that high, but since you took a shit on mikesn I'll approve it nevertheless |
Trebor.
10.06.21 | seventh men of a seventh men |
deathofasalesman
10.06.21 | he ranked seventh son of the seventh son seventh on october seventh (in australia) at 7 o'clock (also australian time) :o |
Muzz79
10.07.21 | Not triggered but as one of the bigger Maiden fans on this site, I can't agree with you park except 1 is as classic as classic gets and NOTB t/t and Hallowed be thy Name are absolute bangers of the highest order. I get that Senjustu only appeals to fans of the post 2000's albums. But it's quite ok to just like 80's Maiden |
JDubb
10.07.21 | BNW and everything after aren’t for everyone. But I dig the longer, proggier style of the last 21 years. Not that I don’t dig the earlier 20+ years as well. |
JDubb
10.07.21 | Boomer music- yeah. But it’s a hella lot better than other boomer jams (Eagles, The Who, Deep Purple, and…Judas Priest)!!! Judas Priest blows! |
Koris
10.07.21 | "powerslave is half of the best music of their career and half of their most medicore
Best:
Aces High
Two Minutes To Midnight
Powerslave
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Mediocre:
the other 4 songs"
Take Flash of the Blade out of the mediocre category and I agree with the rest of that |
MrSirLordGentleman
10.07.21 | "Boomer music- yeah. But it’s a hella lot better than other boomer jams (Eagles, The Who, Deep Purple, and…Judas Priest)!!! Judas Priest blows!"
cringe
"Take Flash of the Blade out of the mediocre category and I agree with the rest of that"
Flash of the Blade is one of Maiden's most underrated songs |
Koris
10.07.21 | Priest wipes the floor with most of those bands as far as I'm concerned |
MrSirLordGentleman
10.07.21 | Love all of those except for the Eagles which still have some great tunes. Purple is my favorite of those
The cringe part is implying that it is surprising that there's "quality" in boomer music. Using "boomer music" as an insult is as cringe as boomers saying "music nowadays sucks, ours was real music" |
Koris
10.07.21 | I'm actually gonna be addressing the boomer thing in my next Steely Dan review, because that was the album that got them a Grammy and a bunch of younger music listeners called it the "revenge of the baby boomers". I'm pretty sick of hearing the term boomer just mindlessly tossed around in general |
MrSirLordGentleman
10.07.21 | Will be funny when in 30 years our generation's music is labeled as old people's crap. The classic trope of "this thing was better at my age" is a never ending cycle of nostalgia and pedantry
As always, The Simpsons did a good job showcasing that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGrfhsxxmdE&ab_channel=ThingsICantFindOtherwise |
rockarollacola
10.07.21 | YES! Sinjutsu fucking sucked so hard. It has recently claimed the title of my most hated Maiden album. |
parksungjoon
10.07.21 | >Parks dude Heaven Can Wait is on Somewhere In Time not Seventh Son
already addressed comments #2-#4 [: |
Pon
10.07.21 | 3 has always been my fav. Seems odd to call it inconsistent but list Invaders as a highlight cause I know a lot of people who dislike the hook. |
parksungjoon
10.07.21 | i think its a lovely song [: |
combustion07
10.07.21 | Strongly agree with your number 1. Classicc |
Flugmorph
10.07.21 | "yeah I go with priest almost every time instead"
honestly yeah, priest is tons more interesting |
wham49
10.07.21 | no trigger here, although it seems as though MAtter of Life or Death is low and I tend to like it, Dance might get some people in a tizzy though, mos tpeople like that as a late good album |
rockarollacola
10.07.21 | "yeah I go with priest almost every time instead"

Egarran
10.08.21 | Why are we opposing maiden and priest?
Are you guys forming cliques? |
parksungjoon
10.08.21 | good question i dont get it either |
DePlazz
10.08.21 | Yeah, why choose? I want both |
WeepingBanana
10.08.21 | You literally compared 1 to priest in your description of it. They’re like by far the 2 most comparable bands to each other |
mindleviticus
10.08.21 | you did my boy seventh dirty |
