I think Powerslave is better, I don't really care much for the synth-driven sound of Somewhere in Time.

I agree. I don't care much for that synth-driven sound of the album. But it's the music I love: The Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner is a glorious song, which they never play in their gigs; Deja-Vu blows me away, and they never play it either; then there's the great Stranger in a Strange Land and the other songs... I just can't give an explanation; the album just blows my mind!

I prefer their S/T over Powerslave. It has a less epic feel and more the kind of heavy metal you can just rock' n' roll to. Powerslave is still fantastic. It has one of my favourite tracks, Back In The Village.

I think Killers should get more attention than it does (for an Iron Maiden album). It's well just... killer.

Since I've been a member of this forum, I've noticed that most of the die-hard Maiden fans that have been on here have usually rated Killers as one of their best. Personally I think it's a good album but weaker than the albums around it, but then again I'm not a die-hard Maiden fan.

BTW good to see you back posting again

Well that's good. From what I see outside the forum Powerslave, The Number Of The Beast, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, Piece Of Mind, Brave New World and their S/T seem to be big fan favourites. Not bad albums at all or anything. Gotta say I enjoy Dance Of Death quite a bit as well.

Thanks dude, you too.
