This album is filled with great Maiden attitude and it's filled with EXCELLENT bass. This album reinstates how much Steve Harris kicks ass!!

The second album from the British, after a magnificent debut Maiden raised the bar even higher brilliant album in every form apsolutny classic

I find this kind of comment funny in their inaccuracy. "Killers" is in fact mostly a collection of Maiden's very old songs, many of them written before the debut album. It's not exactly a second album in the way we usually conceive it.

Funny how this album is basically a collection of filler songs, yet still manages to be great. I'd place it as Maiden's second best, behind the almighty Somwhere in Time-which for some reason is perhaps the least known of their 80's albums.

eww...someone else who shares my opinion of Somewhere In Time but I digress...as far as Killers goes "Drifter" is on my list of top 5 Iron Maiden Songs of ALL TIME.

It is a collection of filler song, but IMO they don't manage to be that great. Better than anything post-Seventh, but not their second greatest.

Out of the first two Di'Anno era albums, I personally love this more than the debut (even though i love that album too). There are more songs on here and they all kick ass. Iron Maiden for life \m/

After the magnificent debut Maiden didnt diassapoint with Killers. This album is so underrated that it makes me feel sick!

Love the title track

Very good but not the best maiden alb

because it is weekest album, ok maybe last one is weekest , but this is secend weekest

Butr now I just change my mind, I didnt like this album some time ago, IMO it was werry week, of corse it is not so strong than 1th one, but its sortha catchy, speedy, punky...weird my muisc taste changing LOL

I don't get a lot of the hate that this album gets. I think it's great; definitely one of their better albums.

Simple.I love all tracks.

Never understood why this one isn't that popular.

vocalist and maybe also production ... when Bruce came they simply blow all away ... Paul cant sing his solo are weak IMO

Good follow up to the classic debut. No weak songs and Purgatory has always been a favourite of mine, they need to play that one live before they call it quits. Genghis Khan is also a excellent instrumental track, not as memorable as Transylvania but that fast part before the one minute mark is good shit! Still I don't have the same love for this one as with many other Iron Maiden albums, the songs are as I said good but the studio versions don't do them justice, just listen to the versions on Beast Over Hammersmith.. Another Life, Killers and Drifter are miles ahead on that one!

Like the album's title suggests, it does indeed have a couple of killer songs ("Murders In The Rue Morgue", the title track and "Purgatory", but I suppose others may or may not want to include "Wrathchild" here too). When we've got 11 tracks though it's not something to get too excited about. The reason why I see this album as better/improvement than/from the debut is that it clearly shows SOME evolution in the band's sound, which means it's not as much stuck in the past of punk roots and the increasing metal influences are more evident here. While in overall the songs are stronger I don't see any of these songs as good as "Phantom Of The Opera" from the debut though. An interesting album for sure (at least for the fans), BUT as I see it, this one is one of the least necessary IM albums, and the albums of the band's golden age, which started only a couple years after this album's release makes "Killers" look pretty weak album.

Best Iron Maiden album fo shizzle

This Cover man.. AXE SMASHED FAAAAAAAACE oh wait a minute..

I'm starting to love this as much as the debut. Di'Anno-era Iron Maiden is fantastic.

The only problem I have with this album, is the fact that it doesn't have any instantly recognizable and memorable hit song like the other Maiden albums. The production by Martin Birch is great as always, but in my opinion his style fits better with Bruce's operatic vocals.
