| I think I like "Iron Maiden" better, but still, this is a great album, which has 2 great instrumentals on it. |

Agreed. Every song rocks really hard, my favs are Killers, Purgatory & Drifter. Brilliant  |
|
|
|
| What about Genghis Khan... why this instrumental is often overlooked, though I find it to be one of Iron Maiden's best. The drums and bass work is really amazing in this one. |

This is simply my favourite album of Iron Maiden. I like DiAnno's vocals better than Dickinson's, and every song here is a masterpiece of catchy songwriting. Only gems. This is worth so much more than a mere 7.5 IMO  |

I love Di'Anno (even if i prefer Bruce) and i gotta say that this album is another Treasure by Maiden.
My fav songs are ''Murders in the rue morgue'', ''Wrathchild'' and ''Prodigal Son''. They are just mezmerising.
What about a little 9/10 for that masterpiece  |

mezmerising Have you been deceived by System of a Down? As far as I know, gizmo is the only instance where _zm_ exists in the English language
In fact, the word comes from a physician named Mesmer... sorry to steal your attention, that probably wasn't as interesting for anyone as it was for me 
Purgatory has won over as my favourite on the album. 10/10! |

Oh I cant believe I didnt post here. Well let me tell you that this album is a classic. I prefer the "Iron Maiden" album I admit but this one is quite good. And I also like Di'Anno's vocals.
Murders in the rue morgue... never gona find me!
I like that they inspired themselves in Poe's tales to write their lyrics. |

|
| so ridiculously low ratings for Iron Maiden and Killers their best albums. |
|
|
|
| No Iron Maiden and Killers are not Maidens best, but they are great and the ratings for them are low on reviews. This album is the first with Smith, who is just as great as Murrey. No epics on this album but it is damn soild. |

| man this album is very good. there are a lot of brilliant songs such Wratchild, Murders and Drifter, not talking about the instrumental yay! |
|
|
|
| Ya this album deserves so much more then a 7.5. It is one of the bands best, well, Iron Maiden has a lot of great albums, so I guess this one would rank lower on the list, but it is still absolutly great. I really enjoy songs like Killers, and Wrathchild. This and the first album are a little different for Maiden, but they are very unique. |

|
| i think di anno's voice works very well for this and the previous album. it wouldnt have sounded right come the release of "Number of The Beast". could you imagine him singing "Children of The Damned"? |

ok ok ... maybe 10 times better is an exaggeration, but i really found this album a lot better than the previous. I'm not analyzing the quality of the lyrics, riffs or anything. Despite being kinda similar, i was really excited listen to this album, while the other didn't awake any kind of feeling... its just personal taste, it doesnt mean that its true. |

Ah, I know what you mean but I still prefer the other one |

|
| I think Iron Maiden was better, anyway this album is really good like all Maiden's albums 8.5 would be fair |
|
|

A far better production than on Iron Maiden makes it my personnal favorite of Maiden just before Powerslave and Iron Maiden!
Killer, behind you, my bloodlust defies all my needs! |

|
|
| This album rocks my socks 10/10 |

I gotta say this is my least favourite Maiden album of the 80's, don't get me wrong, this album is fucking brilliant! It's just not as brilliant as the masterpieces that came before and after it.
Favourite songs would have to be Murders in the Rue Morgue and Prodigal Son.
You know this may sound crazy, but I think this album was an influence on Brutal Death Metal lyric-wise, just read some of these lyrics: ''All I found was the butchered remains of two girls laying side by side'' or ''Scream for mercy, He laughs as he's watching you bleed''. So fucking badass  |

| My least favorite Maiden album from the 80s. I like the song "Killers" a lot but other than that most of the songs are forgettable and more or less boring fillers. |

Same for me. But in addition to "Killers", I like the songs "Murders In The Rue Morgue" and "Wrathchild". The others are just not as memorable. |
