Definitely one of the best that time

On of my fav records by iron maiden up the irons

My favorite Iron Maiden album.. It's surley one of the best Maiden album ever..

Good Album but IMO a bit overrated. I personally love Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son more than it.

Good album, classics, but i like some others much more

Decent, nothing more. Better than Svensson, Oh Svensson, but still nothing to get excited about. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go listen to Holy Diver.

Like all of Maiden's 80's albums with Bruce, I dont find this album overrated at all. The opening track "Invaders" is actually one of the most underrated songs in Maiden's whole catalogue, and gets the album off to a great start! "Total Eclipse" should have been on the album when it was originally released, so it was nice to see it be added to the album proper on the re-release. xD

I could never particularly get into iron maiden. As I don't really like their other albums. But this is very good.
Definitely their best album by far (their only good album really) as their riffs are too... Popish?
But this is different.
Great album.

Same opinion about it. But still it kicks ass. Seventh is better though.

Me too, the best Iron Maiden album but still a little overrated. Master Of Puppets is better IMO...

Best of Iron Maiden but not anywhere near a 9.1 rating. I would give it an 8 for sure. But i don't get how a crappy album like Somewhere In Time gets a 8.8 rating...

"A little overrated" and you give it a perfect score?

Yes. It's almost perfect, yet still overrated.

I don't get it

Saying something is overrated, but then giving it a 10, seems like contradicting yourself... lol

Lol.. I'm sorry guys, my bad.

Absolute monster of an album, even though its not actually my favourite IM album. Full of classic material, with only 'Gangland' and 'Total eclipse' seeming to me 'filler' material. If anyone is wondering why, when i said it has 'filler' material and still gave it a 10, its because the remaining tracks more than make up for it.

I really like this album. True, there are overplayed songs ("Run To The Hills" and the title track are noticeable offenders) and there are songs which I feel could have been cut without any noticeable change to the album ("Gangland", although more because it is a bit of a dull track than because of quality), but there's just something about this album that keeps me coming back. Why "The Prisoner" isn't on the touring setlists is something I can't fathom, as I find it one of the strongest tracks (although, admittedly, it is my favorite Iron Maiden song, so I would say that). I'd say it's worth an 8 at minimum.

For me, this album is all killer and no filler. "Invaders" and "Gangland" are often thought of as fillers, even to the band themselves. But I love both songs, particularly "Invaders", which I feel is one of the greatest opening tracks on an album of all time. "Total Eclipse" is an amazing song, even though it wasn't included on the album until it was remastered in the late 90''s. It really should have been on the album all along, and I love it a lot.

Second most overrated metal album in history (first being British Steel), half of the tracks are filler.

4 great songs, 4 absolute filler and one decent song doesn't qualifie a album to be called a classic or even top metal album of the 80s.

Not too much to say for any Maiden's albums. Up the irons!

SIX , SIX SIX ! The nuuumber of the beeaaast !
I dream at night

666!

Nope, Only Gangland suck
Invaders is okay

The rest is wonderful
Run to the hills/Hallowed/666 are masterpieces

This is overrated for sure. I would not give it any higher than 8 because there are a few weaker songs: Invaders 6/10, The Prisoner 7.8/10, Gangland 6.6/10, Gangland 5/10 and Children of the Damned is a little bit weak in terms of the instruments. For an album to surpass 9 the WHOLE album needs to be strong, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is an example of that.

This is overrated for sure. I would not give it any higher than 8.5 because there are a few weaker songs: Invaders 7/10, The Prisoner 7.4/10, Gangland 6.6/10 and Children of the Damned is a little bit weak in terms of the instruments. For an album to surpass 9 the WHOLE album needs to be strong, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is an example of that.

I agree except The Prisoner is classic in my eyes

A very good album, Gangland is indeed the weakest song, but still not a bad one, quite listenable if I may say so. The rest of the songs are excellent.
