Title: Great CD, but their best?
Review: This is a great album, one of Maiden's best easily, but I don't understand quite why everyone thinks it's their best ever. The thing that confuses me most is the two hit songs, Number of the Beast and Run to the Hills. They're both great songs in their own right, but their hardly classic maiden songs, I mean seriously, they do not capture maidens epic style, and the majority of the songs on this album are good, but not nearly as good as what followed. I mean seriously, compare Invaders to Where Eagles Dare or Aces High, it's not even close, and Children of the Damned isn't one of Maiden's better songs, either. 22 Acacia Avenue is awesome, though, and I must say Hallowed be thy name is like the definitve metal song, an unbelievable song that no one else will ever top. However, it's the only superlative song on the album, and definately not enough to make it maiden's best.
Is the review positive or negative?
