Holy shit, why is this so bad.
>>47717120Try Powerslave.
>>47717149Seconded. It's their best album
>>47717149My first Maiden album.Has a warm place in my heart.
This one is worse OP.
>>47717149>>47717184>Not Piece of Mind>>47717120Because it was a cash-grab single-fest and an attempt to regain some of the fans they lost after Seventh Son.Also, some dumbshit told Bruce to experiment with a raspier singing style, which sounds fucking terrible and honestly ruined some songs that would have been amazing to listen too if he was performing at Air Raid Siren levels.
>>47717120Because iron maiden is boringtry thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NPZQXxDlu4
>>47717234I disagree.Angel and the Gambler is worse than anything they've ever produced but the rest of the album its self is alright.
>>47717234At least that one had some goddamn musical integrity.Plus, Blaze gets too much flak.He was replacing one of the most admired and skilled vocalists in metal.I mean, listen to Doctor, Doctor and tell me that Blaze isn't a damn good vocalist in his own right.
>>47717248Fucking Incantation is not a good fucking substitute for Maiden.
>>47717267>recommending a coverI'd rather listen to the original UFO track. I'd say The Clansman is a better song to suggest.
>>47717261Worse than Quest for Fire?I dunno
>>47717291Hey, some Maiden covers are better than the originals.The cover of Cross-Eyed Mary is breathtaking.Although, that might just be because it's Bruce's best vocal performance ever.
>>47717295nigga u did not
>>47717316>tfw no more air raid siren because Bruce has nearly lost his upper octave stuff.
>>47717267He is, but he was a fucking terrible match for the standard Maiden sound. Passable on X-Factor when they seemed to be writing to match him, but a clusterfuck on VXI when they wanted him to do Bruce style songs.
>>47717323Quest for Fire is terrible.What the fuck was Bruce thinking with those E5s?
>>47717295Filler as fuck but Quest for Fire is tolerable if you are occupied by something else while listening to itThe Angel and the Gambler is 9 minutes of repetitive lyrics and bland instruments. Virus would have been better to put instead of TAatG.>>47717316Covers are good, even the Doctor Doctor cover, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone to give them an example of their sound. I'd rather them have an original piece to build an opinion on.
>>47717120Maiden's only truly bad album.(besides the Blaze period)
>>47717458Did you forget about Dance of Death?With it's SINGLE passable song?How the fuck they could follow up Brave New World with that trash, I'll never know.

>>47717458X-Factor wasn't bad, Blaze's vocals kinda fit for the atmosphere of the album, also while we're talking about The X-Factor, does it remind anyone of RHCP's album "One Hot Minute"?>Both released in 1995>Both considered to be the darkest material by the band>Both have themes of death>Both had a new person to the band>Both are pretty hated on by fans
>all these plebs masturbating of 3 chord dadrockShouldn't all you highschoolers be in bed by now?
>>47717469Dance of Death is a good song tho. Really, nothing post their reunion was good, but we atleast got that, and to see their live shows again - which always include Powerslave tracks.
