Negative Positive
Title: what more can be said?
Review: i usually don't write reviews on landmark albums(no need to usually), but i have to put my 2 cents in on this one. i have been listening to maiden since i was 13, 17 years ago. i remember when 7th son first came out, maiden was already beginning to be regarded as "old news" by then. newer bands like slayer and metallica had come in with a new form of metal, thrash. and maiden had experimented with keyboards on this album. the underlying feeling in the metal world was they "sold out". my how wonderful a thing hindsight is, because now the metal world regards 7th son as the best album they ever did, and i agree. i felt that way back then when all my headbanger friends were jumping on the thrash bandwagon. i loved thrash as well but as far as i was concerned then and now, maiden were the kings. this album is their best even though it wasn't recieved well at the time. i think people realize how well its aged since then.
Is the review positive or negative?
