Very nice.
Classic album for sure, and Maidens best.
Every track kicks ass; from the opening lines of The Ides of March to the closing notes of Drifter, this album rules.
Favorite tracks:
Another Life, Innocent Exile (the opening bass lines are killer)Murders in the Rue Morgue, Ghengis Khan, Wrathchild... but they are all awesome.

Huh!

You're not saying Prodigal Son is among your fav' tracks. Me very sad. :sad:

Anyway, classic album and my fav' with Piece of Mind.

They are all excellent, but those that I listed always stood out the most.
You like Piece Of Mind more than Number Of the Beast?

The problem with Piece Of mind is (was) that it was over-played; back in the spring of 83, that's all that was to be heard issuing from tape decks everywhere ( that and Def Leppard's Pyromania). Good album, though.

I've always found that the weak tracks on NotB (Gangland, Invaders, Run to the Hills [not that weak per se but I hate the chorus]) were weaker than those on Piece of Mind (Quest for Fire, Sun and Steel) and, then, it has my all-time fav' Maiden song (Revelations). I won't say it's flawless, but then no Iron Maiden album is, but it's the closer to perfection they ever got.

Yeah, I've heard that from a lot of people over the years regarding
Gangland, Invaders, Run to the Hills, and I tend to agree.
The lyrics to invaders are ace, though.
I like the overall feel of Number Of the Beast slightly more than Piece Of Mind. Piece of mind is a great album, it just suffered from overexposure.

Invaders is an absolutely awesome song with a horrible chorus, a shame really. Killers is however amazing.

I prefer TNOTB over Piece of Mind, which is less NWOBHM flavored. And also Clive Burr>>>>Nicko McBrain

McBrain is imo one of the most boring drummers in metal; Clive is much more enjoyable.

Killers and the 1st album are both fuckin ace.

Ok

I like Clive Burr but I think Nico superior on the bass and cymbals. Whatsmore, he fits Maiden's epics way better than Clive would have ever done.

I've been had, that's it, I hate sick people! :rolleyes:

Seriously, Clive kind of reminds me of Brian Downey at times and I love Brian Downey. He was the right drummer on the ST and Killers but, imho, he showed his limitations on Number of the Beast. Not that he wasn't a good drummer, he was!

Jesus, I completely forgot he was on TNOTB.

Shame on me.

Keep it real, try a metal avatar instead of a retarded canadian one.

Back on topic: what do you think of Prodigal Son? I like its 70s feel, the oddest Iron Maiden song imho and one of the very best too.
