Please let me know. Just learned loneliness of the long distance runner, Infinite dreams and the evil that men do. All such great songs. There’s no filler on that album at all.

it's defensible, but i'd say number of the beast or powerslave are better contenders. but anything from number of the beast through seventh son wouldn't be a hot take at all. now, if you told me a record they put out in 2010 was their best, or that one of the first two albums with the first singer (though i love both albums) were the best, i'd say that was a scorching hot take.

yea that's a hard one to defend. definitely a hot take. i like d'annio and all, and i actually really love killers, but not sure how you conclude that the s/t is better than number of the beast.

Beast has 1 great song (Hallowed) and 2 of their most overrated songs (run to the hills and title track). I like 22 acacia avenue but everything else on the album is kind meh within maiden’s catalog.

I love self titled in spite of Dianno. I’m a huge Brucemo and think his voice is essential to the classic maiden sound. But the songs on self titled are better and more varied. Phantom is my all time favorite and Prowler and Transylvania are better than anything on beast aside from Hallowed.

Run to the Hills is massively overrated. It's the song non-fans all know and fans never listen to.

Number of the beast is better and has its moments but is also pretty monotonous and boring. If it were on a later album, the song would not be nearly as famous.

Killers is better than self-titled.

But the real unsaid truth is that Piece of Mind is better than Number of the Beast.

22 Acacia Avenue? Were you a youthful whoremonger?
