Title: Probably Maiden's overall best effort
Review: Don't hurt me, but I think "Seventh Son" is Maiden at their peak. Granted, I LIKE Number of the Beast and Powerslave more, as they are easier to get into. But Seventh Son wraps it all together, the lyrics, the arrangements, the theme idea, and of course, the music! I hear those critisicms from people that claim it is too soft-core and uses synths too much,and they have a valid gripe, but I'm a guy that can just as easily go from listening to death metal to going soft-core into Supertramp, so it didn't bother me at all. Stand-out songs are "Infinite Dreams", "Evil That Men Do", "Seventh Son", and the crushing masterpiece, "Only the Good Die Young". If you're new to Maiden, go for "Number of the Beast" For fans that can appreciate a more melodic side of metal, you can't miss with "Seventh Son". UPTHEIRONS!!
