I'm aware of this, but Iron Maiden is metal. If you want to be specific, classic metal or heavy metal, but they aren't power metal, regardless of how much they've influenced the genre.

I'm aware of that too, I was trying to draw the "dull" parallel.

Why would you do that with this album? Stop having bad opinions jeeze
|

Interesting. I always thought that this album was a power metal classic, but apparently it's not power metal at all.

It isn't power metal, that's totally right.

yea man, power metal is different from regular metal, power metal is like dragonforce.
|

Album Rating: 5.0
Dragonforce is mediocre power metal.
Iron Maiden has probably influenced almost every power metal band today, however.

wake, a lot of people review how they know the album should be critiqued, and then their personal ratings differ. I gave Fall Out Boy's new album a 2/5, but really I think it's a 3.5. It's bad and all but, uh, I like it. :X Makes sense I guess.
|

Not really. Why would you like bad music?

He speaks the truth. Rate albums how you think they should. Sometimes I find myself wanting to conform to other ppl's opinions but then I realize that that's lame.

I really really like this. The album flows really well from start to finish. There are similar parts sure, but they have their formula and they nail it most of the time. I guess it does sound a little dated.

Guilty pleasures should be rated with the same objectivity as anything else.
Unless you hate it, like I did when I reviewed it. And then it grew on me afterwards. It can happen with anyone, like this reviewer. When he wrote the review it might have been a 3 but bumped up to a 3.5. Opinions change. I don't mean to say that you should conform to an opinion for a review, but how you know the album should be rated and how you ultimately feel about it on a different level is, well, different.
|

No it isn't. When you start rating things high because they're good from an "objective standpoint" even though you don't like them that much, it means you're conforming to other people's opinions. When I read a review, I want to read about how much that reviewer likes or dislikes the album. Anything else is bullshit.
everyone has guilty pleasures
Sure, but that's because your opinion doesn't correspond with that of everyone else. If all your friends are a bunch of metalheads and you really like Kelly Clarkson, she's gonna be a guilty pleasure for you. That doesn't mean it's bad music though. I don't like anything that I consider bad music.This Message Edited On 03.18.07

I say what I mean, and you obviously didn't get it.
but how you know the album should be rated and how you ultimately feel about it on a different level is, well, different.
How you ultimately feel about it after you rate/review it. Stuff can become harder 5s or drop to a lower 3. Favorite songs change, the songs you want to recommend you didn't because you didn't like them, etc. What I'm trying to point out is, a lot of reviewers ratings don't correspond with their reviews because times and opinions change. Not when they're writing the review as if they're writing for the population and not themselves, but later when they've listened to the album more.

I should have clarified: I changed my rating two weeks later. That was kind of what my tangent was about.
