I have argued before about Iron Maiden not being able to make a perfect album. That is a hard feat for any band; however in their early catalogue there always seems to be a really killer track (more than one often) and that one track that just kills the flow. | | 1 |  | Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden
Killer Track: Iron Maiden - What else can you say, yes there are better written songs on the album (hello Phantom) but this is the one that get's the crowd going every show.
Album killer: Strange World - Just slows the pace down so much in the middle of the album. While it is not a terrible song, it just kills the flow that leads up to it. | | 2 |  | Iron Maiden
Killers
Killer Track : Wrathchild - Almost in the same vein of 'Iron Maiden' a short and fun 'shout along' jam. Possibly one of my favorite shorter Maiden songs ever, flows really well with the opening track and sounds awesome live.
Album killer : Innocent Exile - This is the definition of filler; the album would be better suited without it. | | 3 |  | Iron Maiden
The Number of the Beast
Killer Track : Run to the Hills - Maiden doesn't get better than this. Awesome drums, incredible bass line, a story to tell with the lyrics and singing. This was everything that made Dickinson era Maiden sweet.
Album killer : Gangland - Go ahead, ask 100 Maiden fans to sing Run to the Hills for me. Now, ask the same 100 fans to sing gangland...... | | 4 |  | Iron Maiden
Piece of Mind
Killer track : Flight of Icarus - So hard to choose here, but again; great story telling in a song. Though The Trooper is a damned close second.
Album killer : Still Life - It is almost unfair to the song, but after the stellar opening 5 song salvo, this is the start of the gradual let down. Is a major step below the tracks that proceed it. | | 5 |  | Iron Maiden
Powerslave
Killer track : 2 Minutes to Midnight - Go jam it now. 90% of this album absolutely destroy's and this track is the bees knees.
Album Killer : Back in the Village - While it is not a terrible song, everything around it is so fucking good. When I listen to Powerslave, this is the track that is always skipped. | | 6 |  | Iron Maiden
Somewhere in Time
Killer track : The Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner - What... what, yeah I said it. Great epic song, really hits a sweet spot on the album and builds incredibly on itself.
Album killer : Deja-Vu - Gah, such a huge step back in terms of actual song writing. Really middle of the road and the shitty lyrics drag it down. | | 7 |  | Iron Maiden
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Killer track : Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - Possibly the best "title track" from the band. Really a great blend between their metal heritage and their developing (at this point) progressive leans. Though Can I Play With Madness is a damned close second.
Album killer : The Prophecy - Like other tracks mentioned before, it is not terrible, but after SSoaSS it's an epic letdown and throws off the momentum that was built before it. | | 8 |  | Iron Maiden
No Prayer for the Dying
Killer track : Bring Your Daughter... - After a mostly mediocre (and in some spots terrible) album this is like a breath of fresh air. A return to their roots, and quite welcome at this point.
Album killer : Public Enema Number One - You could really choose a few songs from the "A" side of this one, however this track is just meh, and with such a stupid name, it drags it way down. Just terrible. | | 9 |  | Iron Maiden
Fear of the Dark
Killer Track : Afraid to Shoot Strangers - Yes the title track is better, but this song is massively underrated and builds to an epic conclusion. Love the solo in this one.
Album killer : From Here to Eternity - As much as I sometimes like this song, it is absolutely terrible. "She fell in love with his greasy machine....." really? Gah, as bad as NPFTD was, nothing will be worse than that. | |

05.30.14 | can I play with madness is awful (and seventh son remains my favourite maiden) | Relinquished
05.30.14 | lot of the 5s I have aren't [truly] 5s, and that goes for many people, but ratings are arbitrary so they're as close as they get. usually it's those tracks that just straight-out suck or aren't up to par with the rest. | ArsMoriendi
05.30.14 | "Go ahead, ask 100 Maiden fans to sing Run to the Hills for me. Now, ask the same 100 fans to sing gangland......"
You wanna know why that's funny? Most non-Iron Maiden fans know that song (including myself.)
If anything, a real Iron Maiden fan would probably have a higher chance of knowing the unpopular stuff, so that's not a good point at all.

05.30.14 | I think your wrong there. Run to the Hills almost any level of Maiden fan knows the words. Gangland? Doubtful. | NordicMindset
