Angelic Storm: Virtual XI for you, i can see

Imo, "Virtual XI" is the deepest abyss a metal band can reach. Twelve years later, I still wonder what Maiden had in mind when they released that garbage.

@Hidden_Dictator: Its between the 1st 2 albums for worst Maiden album of the 80's for me. Both are pretty much equal, so its hard for me to pick between those two.

It's between these two albums for me too. However, I think the first album had a few memorable songs, while "Killers" has lots of forgettable fillers, imo.

Hidden_Dictator: hahaha It's not such a big deal .

My god! The first is Great! one of the best, i can't believe it .

We talk a lot about the golden age of Iron Maiden, but here's the worst record of them: "Killers" .

thta's your opinion; don't make sound like a fact.

Do you think really that is a fact?

NO

I never said it was a bad album. It's a good one. However, I think it's overshadowed by the stuff from TNOTB to SSOASS.

Looking at the tracklistings for both albums now, then yep, Id have to agree that "Killers" is the worst between the 2. The debut has only one real filler IMO. ("Charlotte The Harlot"). While "Killers" has 2. ("Another Life", and "Drifter") And the debut's ratio of truly great songs is also higher than "Killers".

Your rating:

1980 - Iron Maiden 9
1981 - Killers 8

That memory =).

Well, if you think about it with an open mind opinion, you will see that all Iron Maiden records are ranging from very good to AWESOME ,, there are Maiden weak record, even Bayley era had many great highs, but fans dislike it because they wana hear Dickinson.

Final Frontier is just another good addition into the legacy, although its little bet disappointing, because we are talking about the MAIDENs

Oh, hell no. Not this again.

You're really contorting what being "open-minded" is.

Indeed. It has nothing to do with this pointless 'open-mindedness' argument but with tastes and not liking some material. Some people think every Maiden album has something to offer and it's their right but, personally, I think this band released many average at best albums and a few shitty ones.
We're not forced to like everything and it doesn't mean we're less 'open-minded'.

Welcome after "Brave New World", Iron Maiden are back!!!!

El Dorado Mother of mercy Coming Home When the Wild Wind Blows

Put a fork in them... their done.

almost every song was the same. slow than fast. la lala la la la la, la lala la la la la.......Da Dadada Dadada Dadada

I kinda was because of all the fanboyism commotion that is happening.

OK OK!

I know I've said some shitty things about this album, and Iron Maiden (who is my favorite metal band of all time) lately. I TAKE IT ALL BACK RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW, and GIVE MYSELF 30 lashings with a cat o' nine tails! Ok, I hired a Mexican to do it...ehhh he enjoyed it...fuck you. ANYWAY. In my last shitty, moronic post, I said something like after listening to this album 10 times I thought it was weak as hell, along with other choice descriptors, and that they need to stop where they are so they can save some of their legendary status before destroying it. OK, here it is, my review of this album after listening to it 30 or 40 times, stoned, drunk, sober, happy, sad, pissed off, and whatever else...I have to say I that at this point it is now the BEST Maiden album since their reunion...That's right, you heard me. I'm not a fucking idiot, I'm, well maybe I am an asshole, but an idiot / poser I am not. I have picked over every second of every Maiden album like some sort of obsessed freak. I have listened to Maiden and worshipped the ground they walk upon for over 25 years now. This album is BAD - FUCKING - ASS. SERIOUSLY. Listen to it! REALLY listen to it. YES, do it buzzed, or do it sober for that matter, but read the fucking lyrics and try to really absorb every riff, every melody, seriously delve into this album. Yes, I know the tracks are long and some of the parts are repetitive, just listen to it! They have gone a little bit prog, which is actually NOT new ground to them. Seventh Son anybody? Anyway, some have said they do prog poorly, but I'm BEGGING YOU PEOPLE. LISTEN TO IT AGAIN without your Powerslave ears on. Some of the prog guitar parts are actually so complex that you will never grasp it like any regular old school Maiden riff. In fact, I would say it is like grateful dead type abstract. Not that I like hippy jam bands, but I had ALWAYS told my grateful dead / phish / widespread panic loving dumbass / metal deprived friends that if there was ever a metal band close to this kind of outward jamming, it was Iron Maiden. Err well, or Opeth, but that's a different story...

I think this album is SERIOUSLY misunderstood, most hard-core Maiden fans are missing the point entirely (I did), and I understand why now. Don't hate me godddamnit. Vote this album up, change your votes, listen to it again and forget about trying to recreate Seventh Son of a Seventh Son because it is not going to happen. And yes, in case you are wondering...I'm a bit drunk, but that makes this particular post even more credible as far as I'm concerned. Also, don't forget this is a Iron Maidein album like all of the others. Different subject matter for each song. The only consistant "concept" to this album is the first track with Satellite 15...Final Frontier. The rest of the songs are independant, and are about really cool shit. Watch the "Mission Debriefing" for The Final Frontier on Youtube.

Anyone else tired of turning on the news and hearing about Iraq, Iran, Afghanstan, Hamas, and Al Queda? I want to see if there are fish people living on Europa, not hear about another worthless douchebag named Muhammad blowing up other human beings for not worshipping the same INVISIBLE MAN that he does...or having as cool a beard.

I don't want another Seventh Son or onother powerslave; Maiden is ok as it is now; listening to the album, i kinda felt they had fun recotding this, the music is enjoyable so the result is positive, but still not a superlative (IMHO obviously).
