One of the things I did want to say about your rant, and about people who DON’T like Senjutsu. I just find it very odd that you dislike an album on the day it came out. Normally, unless its a genre I dislike or an album that is a total dud, I need to spend some time with an album before I form an opinion on it. These people had formed an opinion on it after they had probably listened to the album once, if at all. So forgive me if I disregard their negativity. The fact they also try to have a go at others who were positive about the album just shows you where these people are coming from. To be honest, I think most of them had already decided they were going to dislike Senjutsu before they even listened to it. A high profile band like Maiden is going to bring out the clowns 🤡 Muppets are best ignored.
My ranking: 1. Killers - This is eddie in his natural state 2. Somewhere in time - the attention to is simply outstanding 3. Powerslave - I love the egyptian aesthetic and the grand scale of it 4. The number of the beast - Its a fucking classic, and I love the way eddie looks 5. Iron maiden - I love how intimidating eddie looks 6. Senjutsu - eddie looks so badass 7. Brave new world - eddie looks so ominous and intimidating 8. Seventh son of a seventh son - its veey eerie and creepy. I love it 9. Piece of mind - like you said, it just doesn't fit the album. Its still a classic though 10. A matter of life and death - love the war theme and those sceleton soldiers look badass 11. Fear of the dark - its not really special, but its still pretty cool 12. No prayer for the dying - I dont really like the way eddie looks, but I love the setting 13. The final frontier - the space theme looks cool, I just dont like it as much as the others 14. The book of souls - its nothing special. eddie looks cool though 15. Viritual XI - I dont like how eddie looks 16. The X factor - I just think it looks terrible 17. Dance of death - °_°
I think Piece if mind is in the top 3. Not only is it Eddies most torturous state but, it also represents "Revelations." I went to rehab a while back and to me it represents how brutal the trip back to "reality" can be. The cover also doesn't have to fit the album, it has to fit the listener.
17. Dance of Death 16. X Factor 15. A Matter of Life and Death: it's just skeleton soldiers and you can't see Eddie clearly. 14. No Prayer for the dying: this could have been the absolute best maiden cover art. Brilliant idea, terrible execution. The coloring is bad and everything surrounding eddie is badly drawn. 13. The Final Frontier: I like the idea but Eddie looks hideous though. 12. Virtual XI: Pretty cool. 11. The Book of Souls: the Live Chapter cover should've been the studio album cover. 10. Fear of the dark 9. Iron Maiden 8. Somewhere in time 7. Piece of Mind 6. Powerslave 5. Brave new world: the most unique iron maiden cover. When i first saw it, I thought it was a fan art. 4. Senjutsu: Could have been even higher if they added a background 3. Seventh son of a seventh son 2. The Number of The Beast 1. Killers: it's Eddie.
Here's how I'd rank the Iron Maiden covers from worst to best: 17. Dance of Death 16. No Prayer for the Dying 15. The X Factor 14. The Book of Souls 13. Senjutsu 12. A Matter of Life and Death 11. Virtual XI 10. Fear of the Dark 9. Brave New World 8. Self-titled 7. Piece of Mind 6. The Final Frontier 5. Killers 4. The Number of the Beast 3. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 2. Powerslave 1. Somewhere in Time
The Peace of mind theme is related to the arrival of Nico McBrain, he is the representative of The madness of Eddie he is the new brain in the band, and drummers are seem to be a bit "crazy"
Iron Maiden album covers are just iconic and many easily can make it into the best album cover lists. Anyways here's my list. 17. The X Factor- God hate I this boring, colorless, bizarre cover. What happened to Eddie?! 15. Dance of Death- This gives me nightmares, Eddie looks alright, but the cgi models are horrendous. 14. Virtual XL- Kinda looks poorly hand drawn, Eddie looks cool, the colors are cool too, but the stupid soccer field in the corner is unnecessary. 13. No Prayer for the Dying- Eddie looks vicious, but not much else is going on here, and the art isn't that good either. 13. Book of Souls- Badass Eddie, but I wish there was a background instead of black. 12. Iron Maiden- Simple, but a classic, Eddie does look weird though. 11. A Matter of Life and Death- Love the art and skeletons, but you can't barely see Eddie. 10. The Final Frontier- Love the art and colors, yes Eddie is so different but still a interesting concept. 9. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son- Very overrated album and art, but it's great art still, the colors are beautiful and the background is cool, but I never liked Eddie here. 8. Senjustu- Yes I wish there was a background, but Samurai Eddie is probably my favorite Eddie, and the Japanese text adds a nice effect. 7. Fear of the Dark- Classic artwork, and a tree monster Eddie is awesome. 6. Piece of Mind- Second favorite album, and the cover is just so cool, Eddie is badass and scary, and he's been chained up and first time we see his amazing lobotomise design. 5. Killers- Just a amazing classic, Iconic Eddie and the amazing art. 4. Brave New World- Favorite Iron Maiden album and amazing art. The colors are great and future London down there looks awesome. Also Eddie is so intimidating. 3. Powerslave- The amount of epicness is outstanding and Eddie as a pyramid god is amazing. 2. The Number of the Beast- The most metal cover ever. The fire, the lightning, the giant Killers Eddie with flames in his hands, and puppeteering freaking SATAN!! 1. Somewhere in Time- Best album probably ever, the colors, the art, Eddie is so awesome, and the many references.
Regarding the cover art, it would have been nice to have included those from the official live albums as well. And maybe from the official compilation albums too. What about the cover art of Life After Death? That's my favorite!
I seem to recall that the DOD cover was only a mockup but Steve liked it so much he just said to go with that one - would have been cool to see what the actual finished product might of looked like - I'm surprised they haven't revamped it - maybe one day!
That new album is fire. So many different sounds but it’s cohesive and tight as I think you mentioned. It has so much to like about it. Long live Maiden 🎸🎸🤘🏼
I love A MATTER OF LIFE and DEATH Cover and Album also. I actually have a large official oil painting of the album cover it's poster size. And framed hanging in my music room. I believe it could be very rare? I'd put Dance of Death last as far as album covers go in my opinion. Verygood video \m/
Of course art is subjective. But I always loved Fear of the dark and it is one of my favorite IM album covers. Many other covers are also legendary - Tailgunner and Maiden England are pretty awesome. And of course Live after death.
For one I love all their album covers but my favorites are somewhere in Time seventh son of a seventh son and killers. Calories is the first album cover I ever realized how you have to study it so I started studying a bunch of album
Great Video! I have only recently found your channel and am so happy I did... I love your album rankings for different bands, especially enjoyed the Lamb of God, Katatonia, Opeth, Swallow the Sun, Slipknot, and Korn rankings. I would love it if you made a video ranking Anathema albums, would be awesome. Sending love from Australia! keep rockin' on! :)
Here’s my Top 10 Album Covers 1. Somewhere in Time 2. The Number of the Beast 3. Killers 4. Powerslave 5. Senjutsu 6. Iron Maiden 7. A Book of Souls 8. Seventh Son of A Seventh Son 9. Piece of Mind 10. A Matter of Life & Death My Least Favorites 1. Virtual XI 2. Dance of Death 3. The Final Frontier 4. X-Factor 5. No Prayer for the Dying Live Album Art Rankings 1. Live After Death 2. Death on the Road These are two of the best album covers IMO.
I have to be honest here! I absolutely love the artwork of Derek Riggs, the man is a genius!!! With that being said, Killers, Powerslave, Somewhere in time and Live after death (yes, I know it's not a studio album but still...) are eternally engaged in a fight within me for that No1 spot! As for the least favorite cover, I agree with you and it's the X-Factor one. What a way to introduce Bruce's successor to Maiden fans all around the world... Bad idea, really bad.
Artwork ranks? Love the idea! Here's mine best to worst: Powerslave The Number of the Beast Somewhere in Time Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Killers The Final Frontier Virtual XI Brave New World A Matter of Life and Death Iron Maiden Piece of Mind Fear of the Dark No Prayer for the Dying The X Factor Senjutsu The Book of Souls Dance of Death
17 virtual Xi 16 no prayer for the dying 15 x factor 14 fear of the dark 13 dance of death 12 final frontier 11 killers 10 matter of life and death 9 seventh son of a seventh son 8 iron maiden 7 peace of mind 6 book of souls 5 brave new world 4 senjutsu 3 powerslave 2 number of the beast 1 somewhere in time
1) Somewhere in Time (Cyberpunk at its coolest) 2) Fear of the Dark ( love how it captures my fears as a child and the colours work magic) 3) Powerslave (no need to explain) 4) Senjutsu ( Samurai Eddie es just fkn cool) 5) Killers (Iconic as fuck)
A bit controversial, but this would be my list: 1.Powerslave 2.Live after death 3.Seventh son 4.Brave new world 5.Somewhere in time 6.Fear of the dark 7.Alexander the great 8.Senjutsu 9.Piece of mind 10.Nights of the dead 11.Number of the beast 12.Killers 13.X-factor 14.A matter of life and death 15.Dance of death 16.The final frontier 17.No prayer for the dying 18.Book of souls 19.Virtual XI 20.Iron Maiden I decided to include some of the live albums cover art bcs they're freaking cool!
17. X Factor (Total disaster) 16. The Final Frontier (Nothing is working here) 15. No Prayer for the Dying (Great idea, but drawn as if I did it) 14. Dance of Death (Like Reign in Blood, but really bad) 13. Virtual XI (Lame, like the album itself) 12. A Matter of Life & Death (Nice one, a couple of details missing the point) 11. Iron Maiden (My favorite album, but I must admit that the art is not much) 10. Fear of the Dark (Convincing or unconvincing, I am still not sure) 9. Senjutsu (Not a great idea, but drawn perfectly) 8. The Book of Souls (Menacing & Mesmerizing) 7. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (Creepy as fuck) 6. Brave New World (Not my fave album, but the cover is simply amazing) 5. Piece of Mind (One of the classic Eddies, crazily good) 4. Somewhere in Time (SF at its best) 3. Number of the Beast (Iconic, if ever there was one) 2. Powerslave (Everything is perfect here) 1. Killers (Pure art, no comment) Honorable mention: Live After Death (probably the best Maiden cover ever, Lovecraft included)
Liked what you said at the beginning. 100% agreed, though I‘m one of those who think Senjutsu is rather mediocre. Liked it at first but after three listenings it started to bore me pretty much the whole way through. The artwork on the other hand is one of their best IMO. For me the best one is Somewhere in time, my least favorite is Dance of Death. I would even call it one of the worst cover artworks of all time…
17. The Final Frontier - for me is wtf cover 16. Iron Maiden - just creep dood 15. The Book Of Souls (Classic cover) - Great Design, but weak idea - no background. 14. The X Factor - Dark, fits the album, though uncomfortable to watch for real 13. A Matter Of Life and Death - Moody, fits the album, but to be honest, if even detailed it's just feels weak 12. Dance Of Death - though even 3d sucks, the idea and athmosphere is something i feel here. This is why it is so high. 11. Seventh Son Of The Seventh Son - It is bright and shiny, what feels like what album is, though never really like cover that much. 10. Piece Of Mind - Great Idea - poor execution. Black and Yellow almost the only colours, it doesn't feet the album, but at least it is dark and you can enjoy it. 9. Fear Of The Dark - Lazy. It's not bad. It's just lazy. 8. The Number Of The Beast - everything said in the video. 7. Killers - everything said in the video x2, but not a number 1 for me. 6. No Prayer For Dying - I don't think it is poorly executed. I think everything great about this one, fits everything. 5. Powerslave - Iconic, even being bright, really is dark and fits the mood of the album 4. Senjetsu - Great Desing of Eddy and Logo 3. Virtual XI - Dark, contrast, fits the album being more Judas Priest than Maiden, and still being pretty dark. 2. Somewhere In Time - Detailed, Athmospheric, firs the album 1. Brave New World - Very Athmospheric, fits the album
Mine: 17)The X Factor 16)Dance of Death (amazing concept, but it has been ruined) 15)The Book of Souls 14)Senjutsu 13)No Prayer for the Dying 12)Virtual XI 11)Iron Maiden 10)The Final Frontier 9)A Matter of Life and Death 8)The Number of the Beast 7)Piece of Mind 6)Fear of the Dark 5)Brave New World 4)Killers 3)Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 2)Somewhere in Time 1)Powerslave
My rankings for the album covers 17. Dance of Death 16. The X Factor 15. No Prayer for the Dying 14. A Matter of Life and Death 13. The Final Frontier (Eddie just looks too damn weird IMO) 12.

The Number of the Beast 1. Powerslave
I like most Maiden covers, „Somewhere“, „Seventh Son“, Powerslave“ and „Killers“ are my favorites. I really don‘t like „Dance of death“, „AMOLAD“ and also „Fear of the dark“, the first cover not created by Derek Riggs. That was a big letdown for me back in the days when they released this record.
1. Somewhere in Time 2. Killers 3. The Number of the Beast 4. Powerslave 5. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 6. Piece of Mind 7. Brave New World 8. No Prayer for the Dying 9. Senjutsu 10. Iron Maiden 11.

My favorite album cover has to be Powerslave and dance of death becuase Lol AMD somewhere in time AMD killers AMD in prayer in dying my fav album And my least favorite is a matter of death I think the album is called and book of souls really hate peace in mind it gives me the heebee geebes and the x factor
I am a big Iron Maiden fan, I have painted a few album covers in oil painting and they are still hanging in my walls. That is how much I love some of those covers. But I got to be honest. The only artworks I like are: Live after Death, The Trooper, Killers, Iron Maiden, Fear of the Dark and Piece of Mind. I could live with: The Number of the Beast, Powerslave and Somewhere in Time But the rest IMHO are almost cringy.
The X factor Dance of death Virtual xi The book of souls The final frontier Fear of dark No prayer for the dying Senjutsu A matter of life and death Seventh son Iron maiden Somewhere in time Brave new world Piece of mind The number of the beast Killers Powerslave
Piece of Mind Rules! It represents the listener rather than the album. And Revelations. These are the best- #1 Somewhere in time #2 Piece of Mind #3 Seventh Son #4 Live after Death #5 Powerslave #6 Iron Maiden #7 Killers #8Number of the Beast

17. Dance Of Death: The fan art that has deleted the creepy characters and only kept reaper Eddie, the 12-pointed star and the guys in robes is much better. 3/10 16. The X Factor: The design of Eddie is just awkward and disgusting. 4/10 15. No Prayer For The Dying: Eddie looks OK but the colours are ugly and the background is pretty bad. 5/10 14. The Book Of Souls: Eddie looks great but the lack of background is stupid. 6/10 13. Senjutsu: Same as The Book Of Souls but with a more badass Eddie. 6/10 12. A Matter Of Life And Death: I LOVE the setting but Eddie is way too much in the background. 7/10 11. The Final Frontier: Underrated album cover IMO. I like alien Eddie and the background suits the album perfectly. 7/10 10. Piece Of Mind: Never been a huge fan of this album cover. Eddie looks awesome but I don't like the colours and the overall setting is disturbing. 7/10 9. Virtual XI: I love the design of Eddie and the colours creates a creepy atmosphere. 7/10 8. Seventh Son: Not my favorite Eddie but the background more than compensates for it. 8/10 7. Fear Of The Dark: Eddie looks creepy and the overall atmosphere of the album cover is very sinister. 8/10 6. Somewhere In Time: One of the best Eddies but perhaps a little too much easter eggs in the background. 9/10 5. Iron Maiden: The creepy look of Eddie fits the album perfectly. 9/10 4. Brave New World: Beautiful colours with Eddie shining in the sky. 9/10 3. Powerslave: No comments needed. 10/10 2. The Number Of The Beast: No comments needed. 10/10 1. Killers: No comments needed. 10/10
My top 5: 5. Powerslave (My favourite Maiden album, amazing cover) 4. A Matter of Life and Death (Althogh the albums sucks for me) 3. Senjutsu (Fucking perfect) 2. Killers (You know why) 1. Piece of Mind (Think it looks just amazing)
17 Dance Of Death (Horrible album cover) 16 The Final Frontier 15 Virtual XI 14 The X Factor 13 The Book of Souls (way to simple) 12 Iron Maiden 11 Senjutsu 10 Brave New World 9 Fear of the Dark 8 Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 7 No Prayer for the Dying 6 Piece of Mind 5 A Matter of Life and Death 4 Killers 3 The Number of the Beast 2 Powerslave 1 Somewhere in Time Other IM album covers worth mentioning 5 Nights of the Dead, Legacy of the Beast: Live in Mexico City 4 Maiden England '88 3 Death on the Road 2 A Real Live One 1 Live After Death
It pains me to see Dance of Death cover art because I love the album itself so much... I'm thinking a lot about how many people skipped this one just because the cover screams "IT SUCKS".
Derek Riggs is the only artist that depicts Eddie right. I just jate vampire Eddie is comic book marvel Eddie. Eddie had hunoe but the last two eddies are just blad.
A Matter of life and Death Virtual X1 Dance of Death No Prayer for the Dying Senjutsu Brave New World The Final Frontier Fear of the Dark Piece of Mind The X Factor Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast The Book of Souls Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Killers Somewhere in Time Powerslave

Questy, One of My Friends said that the X Factor Album Cover looks like a Megadeth Album Cover. Between Countdown to Extinction or Youthanasia.

Hello, what a good cover did you get, I also got a song from IRON MAIDEN hope you like it and the channel has many more covers and I hope you join the channel, there are many bands, friend thank.
My favorites are Killers, followed by TNOTB and Somewhere in Time Last place:The Book of Souls/Senjutsu (i feel like they needed a background) and dance of death
Fear Of The Dark is and was my least favourite up until that album. It's not bad per se in my opinion it just didn't and doesn't look like Eddie because it was the bands' first without Derick Riggs. I still don't dit it, although the concept is reasonable. Each to their own I guess.

2:11 to skip the intro and get straight to the list 🐢
The rant is the best part 🤘
NO!!! That intro needed to be said. Stupid douche bag elitists, thinking their opinion holds some weight whatsoever NEEDED TO HEAR THAT!!!😡 haha
For fuck sake the intro was almost as long as a Senjutsu intro 😂
One of the things I did want to say about your rant, and about people who DON’T like Senjutsu. I just find it very odd that you dislike an album on the day it came out. Normally, unless its a genre I dislike or an album that is a total dud, I need to spend some time with an album before I form an opinion on it. These people had formed an opinion on it after they had probably listened to the album once, if at all. So forgive me if I disregard their negativity. The fact they also try to have a go at others who were positive about the album just shows you where these people are coming from.
To be honest, I think most of them had already decided they were going to dislike Senjutsu before they even listened to it. A high profile band like Maiden is going to bring out the clowns 🤡 Muppets are best ignored.
Mate that's the fucking best intro I've seen on a youtube video lol. You just dropped truth bombs lol
The Eddie on the cover of Piece of Mind refers to the song Still Life. Give it another listen.
Never read the lyrics to that song until just then pretty depressing
@@Questformetal Yeah, about someone losing their mind.
My ranking:
1. Killers - This is eddie in his natural state
2. Somewhere in time - the attention to is simply outstanding
3. Powerslave - I love the egyptian aesthetic and the grand scale of it
4. The number of the beast - Its a fucking classic, and I love the way eddie looks
5. Iron maiden - I love how intimidating eddie looks
6. Senjutsu - eddie looks so badass
7. Brave new world - eddie looks so ominous and intimidating
8. Seventh son of a seventh son - its veey eerie and creepy. I love it
9. Piece of mind - like you said, it just doesn't fit the album. Its still a classic though
10. A matter of life and death - love the war theme and those sceleton soldiers look badass
11. Fear of the dark - its not really special, but its still pretty cool
12. No prayer for the dying - I dont really like the way eddie looks, but I love the setting
13. The final frontier - the space theme looks cool, I just dont like it as much as the others
14. The book of souls - its nothing special. eddie looks cool though
15. Viritual XI - I dont like how eddie looks
16. The X factor - I just think it looks terrible
17. Dance of death - °_°
I think Piece if mind is in the top 3. Not only is it Eddies most torturous state but, it also represents "Revelations."
I went to rehab a while back and to me it represents how brutal the trip back to "reality" can be.
The cover also doesn't have to fit the album, it has to fit the listener.
You’ve got a fantastic collection of JPEG’s 😂
I have never seen that dance of death cover in my life... what the actual
Maiden month!? Sounds amazing!!!
Still Life is the track that reflects the cover and has the album title in the lyric :)
My favorite part of the Number of the Beast album cover is the little puppet man that the devil controls.
17. Dance of Death
16. X Factor
15. A Matter of Life and Death: it's just skeleton soldiers and you can't see Eddie clearly.
14. No Prayer for the dying: this could have been the absolute best maiden cover art. Brilliant idea, terrible execution. The coloring is bad and everything surrounding eddie is badly drawn.
13. The Final Frontier: I like the idea but Eddie looks hideous though.
12. Virtual XI: Pretty cool.
11. The Book of Souls: the Live Chapter cover should've been the studio album cover.
10. Fear of the dark
9. Iron Maiden
8. Somewhere in time
7. Piece of Mind
6. Powerslave
5. Brave new world: the most unique iron maiden cover. When i first saw it, I thought it was a fan art.
4. Senjutsu: Could have been even higher if they added a background
3. Seventh son of a seventh son
2. The Number of The Beast
1. Killers: it's Eddie.
0 . Live After Death
Here's how I'd rank the Iron Maiden covers from worst to best:
17. Dance of Death
16. No Prayer for the Dying
15. The X Factor
14. The Book of Souls
13. Senjutsu
12. A Matter of Life and Death
11. Virtual XI
10. Fear of the Dark
9. Brave New World
8. Self-titled
7. Piece of Mind
6. The Final Frontier
5. Killers
4. The Number of the Beast
3. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
2. Powerslave
1. Somewhere in Time
Kinda similar to mine!
Virtual is nr 1 by far study it and you'll see why.
screw the fun police, i loved senjutsu!
The Peace of mind theme is related to the arrival of Nico McBrain, he is the representative of The madness of Eddie he is the new brain in the band, and drummers are seem to be a bit "crazy"
Iron Maiden album covers are just iconic and many easily can make it into the best album cover lists. Anyways here's my list.
17. The X Factor- God hate I this boring, colorless, bizarre cover. What happened to Eddie?!
15. Dance of Death- This gives me nightmares, Eddie looks alright, but the cgi models are horrendous.
14. Virtual XL- Kinda looks poorly hand drawn, Eddie looks cool, the colors are cool too, but the stupid soccer field in the corner is unnecessary.
13. No Prayer for the Dying- Eddie looks vicious, but not much else is going on here, and the art isn't that good either.
13. Book of Souls- Badass Eddie, but I wish there was a background instead of black.
12. Iron Maiden- Simple, but a classic, Eddie does look weird though.
11. A Matter of Life and Death- Love the art and skeletons, but you can't barely see Eddie.
10. The Final Frontier- Love the art and colors, yes Eddie is so different but still a interesting concept.
9. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son- Very overrated album and art, but it's great art still, the colors are beautiful and the background is cool, but I never liked Eddie here.
8. Senjustu- Yes I wish there was a background, but Samurai Eddie is probably my favorite Eddie, and the Japanese text adds a nice effect.
7. Fear of the Dark- Classic artwork, and a tree monster Eddie is awesome.
6. Piece of Mind- Second favorite album, and the cover is just so cool, Eddie is badass and scary, and he's been chained up and first time we see his amazing lobotomise design.
5. Killers- Just a amazing classic, Iconic Eddie and the amazing art.
4. Brave New World- Favorite Iron Maiden album and amazing art. The colors are great and future London down there looks awesome. Also Eddie is so intimidating.
3. Powerslave- The amount of epicness is outstanding and Eddie as a pyramid god is amazing.
2. The Number of the Beast- The most metal cover ever. The fire, the lightning, the giant Killers Eddie with
flames in his hands, and puppeteering freaking SATAN!!
1. Somewhere in Time- Best album probably ever, the colors, the art, Eddie is so awesome, and the many references.
Great intro Questy, love and agree with everything you say
Regarding the cover art, it would have been nice to have included those from the official live albums as well. And maybe from the official compilation albums too. What about the cover art of Life After Death? That's my favorite!
Well live after death would win easily no contest
Live After Dead is amazing! Especially on the Album.
I seem to recall that the DOD cover was only a mockup but Steve liked it so much he just said to go with that one - would have been cool to see what the actual finished product might of looked like - I'm surprised they haven't revamped it - maybe one day!
Dude, the Senjutsu album art twists my nipples in all the right directions
Do you know Mel Gibson?
That new album is fire. So many different sounds but it’s cohesive and tight as I think you mentioned. It has so much to like about it. Long live Maiden 🎸🎸🤘🏼
You should do a top 10 metal compilation albums!
Great idea tbh need to do live albums too
@@Questformetal Well my favourite compilation is Days of Purgatory by Iced Earth and favourite live album is Unleashed in the East by Judas Priest
Both amazing
Hmm, I know you didn’t have any live albums but the gatefold picture of Live after death is awesome!
I'd love to hear a list of your top 10 Iron Maiden Musical moments, like melodies, interludes, solos, vocal lines etc...
You should do a megadeth album art ranking. Love there mascot whatever ya call him lol.
"It's not what you think". It was exactly what I thought :D
I love A MATTER OF LIFE and DEATH Cover and Album also.
I actually have a large official oil painting of the album cover it's poster size. And framed hanging in my music room. I believe it could be very rare? I'd put Dance of Death last as far as album covers go in my opinion. Verygood video \m/
Of course art is subjective. But I always loved Fear of the dark and it is one of my favorite IM album covers. Many other covers are also legendary - Tailgunner and Maiden England are pretty awesome. And of course Live after death.
For one I love all their album covers but my favorites are somewhere in Time seventh son of a seventh son and killers.
Calories is the first album cover I ever realized how you have to study it so I started studying a bunch of album
Killers easily my number 1. Great list but now you got to do the singles artwork ranking!
Interesting ranking. Some of my favorite Maiden album covers have always been Powerslave and believe it or not, Brave New World. I dig that cover!
Shout outs for Live After Death! Also, Senjitsu is a throwback to Live In Japan.
My top 3:
1.- Somewhere in Time
2.- A Matter of Life and Death
3.- Powerslave
Senjutsu has amazing art imo! And very good songs
Eddie on the cover of The X-Factor looks like Sloth from The Goonies lol
Great Video! I have only recently found your channel and am so happy I did... I love your album rankings for different bands, especially enjoyed the Lamb of God, Katatonia, Opeth, Swallow the Sun, Slipknot, and Korn rankings. I would love it if you made a video ranking Anathema albums, would be awesome. Sending love from Australia! keep rockin' on! :)
Dance of Death - Lol. Fave is either Number of the Beast, Powerslave or Somewhere In Time.
Here’s my Top 10 Album Covers
1. Somewhere in Time
2. The Number of the Beast
3. Killers
4. Powerslave
5. Senjutsu

7. A Book of Souls
8. Seventh Son of A Seventh Son

10. A Matter of Life & Death
My Least Favorites
1. Virtual XI
2. Dance of Death
3. The Final Frontier
4. X-Factor
5. No Prayer for the Dying
Live Album Art Rankings
1. Live After Death
2. Death on the Road
These are two of the best album covers IMO.
I have to be honest here! I absolutely love the artwork of Derek Riggs, the man is a genius!!! With that being said, Killers, Powerslave, Somewhere in time and Live after death (yes, I know it's not a studio album but still...) are eternally engaged in a fight within me for that No1 spot! As for the least favorite cover, I agree with you and it's the X-Factor one. What a way to introduce Bruce's successor to Maiden fans all around the world... Bad idea, really bad.
Artwork ranks? Love the idea!
Here's mine best to worst:

1) Somewhere in Time (Cyberpunk at its coolest)
2) Fear of the Dark ( love how it captures my fears as a child and the colours work magic)
3) Powerslave (no need to explain)
4) Senjutsu ( Samurai Eddie es just fkn cool)
5) Killers (Iconic as fuck)
A bit controversial, but this would be my list:
1.Powerslave
2.Live after death

20.Iron Maiden
I decided to include some of the live albums cover art bcs they're freaking cool!
I've always liked X-Factor the album and the artwork
17. X Factor (Total disaster)
16. The Final Frontier (Nothing is working here)
15. No Prayer for the Dying (Great idea, but drawn as if I did it)
14. Dance of Death (Like Reign in Blood, but really bad)
13. Virtual XI (Lame, like the album itself)
12. A Matter of Life & Death (Nice one, a couple of details missing the point)
11. Iron Maiden (My favorite album, but I must admit that the art is not much)
10. Fear of the Dark (Convincing or unconvincing, I am still not sure)
9. Senjutsu (Not a great idea, but drawn perfectly)
8. The Book of Souls (Menacing & Mesmerizing)
7. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (Creepy as fuck)
6. Brave New World (Not my fave album, but the cover is simply amazing)
5. Piece of Mind (One of the classic Eddies, crazily good)
4. Somewhere in Time (SF at its best)
3. Number of the Beast (Iconic, if ever there was one)
2. Powerslave (Everything is perfect here)
1. Killers (Pure art, no comment)
Honorable mention: Live After Death (probably the best Maiden cover ever, Lovecraft included)
Good on you for calling out the pricks. Word up!
I think I'm the only person in the world who likes the cover of X Factor and loves the one of Final Frontier xd
Just give big respect to Derek Rigs 🤘🤘🤘
Poweslave cover is my favorite.
Liked what you said at the beginning. 100% agreed, though I‘m one of those who think Senjutsu is rather mediocre. Liked it at first but after three listenings it started to bore me pretty much the whole way through.
The artwork on the other hand is one of their best IMO.
For me the best one is Somewhere in time, my least favorite is Dance of Death. I would even call it one of the worst cover artworks of all time…
17. The Final Frontier - for me is wtf cover
16. Iron Maiden - just creep dood
15. The Book Of Souls (Classic cover) - Great Design, but weak idea - no background.
14. The X Factor - Dark, fits the album, though uncomfortable to watch for real
13. A Matter Of Life and Death - Moody, fits the album, but to be honest, if even detailed it's just feels weak
12. Dance Of Death - though even 3d sucks, the idea and athmosphere is something i feel here. This is why it is so high.
11. Seventh Son Of The Seventh Son - It is bright and shiny, what feels like what album is, though never really like cover that much.
10. Piece Of Mind - Great Idea - poor execution. Black and Yellow almost the only colours, it doesn't feet the album, but at least it is dark and you can enjoy it.
9. Fear Of The Dark - Lazy. It's not bad. It's just lazy.
8. The Number Of The Beast - everything said in the video.
7. Killers - everything said in the video x2, but not a number 1 for me.
6. No Prayer For Dying - I don't think it is poorly executed. I think everything great about this one, fits everything.
5. Powerslave - Iconic, even being bright, really is dark and fits the mood of the album
4. Senjetsu - Great Desing of Eddy and Logo
3. Virtual XI - Dark, contrast, fits the album being more Judas Priest than Maiden, and still being pretty dark.
2. Somewhere In Time - Detailed, Athmospheric, firs the album
1. Brave New World - Very Athmospheric, fits the album
The Final Frontier is one of my favorites
Mine:
17)The X Factor
16)Dance of Death (amazing concept, but it has been ruined)

I like most Maiden covers, „Somewhere“, „Seventh Son“, Powerslave“ and „Killers“ are my favorites. I really don‘t like „Dance of death“, „AMOLAD“ and also „Fear of the dark“, the first cover not created by Derek Riggs. That was a big letdown for me back in the days when they released this record.

My favorite album cover has to be Powerslave and dance of death becuase Lol AMD somewhere in time AMD killers AMD in prayer in dying my fav album
And my least favorite is a matter of death I think the album is called and book of souls really hate peace in mind it gives me the heebee geebes and the x factor
Powerslave cover is like Earth Wind and Fire's All In All.
I am a big Iron Maiden fan, I have painted a few album covers in oil painting and they are still hanging in my walls. That is how much I love some of those covers. But I got to be honest. The only artworks I like are:
Live after Death, The Trooper, Killers, Iron Maiden, Fear of the Dark and Piece of Mind.
I could live with: The Number of the Beast, Powerslave and Somewhere in Time
But the rest IMHO are almost cringy.
The X factor

Fear of dark
No prayer for the dying
Senjutsu

Seventh son

Great video!
17. Dance Of Death: The fan art that has deleted the creepy characters and only kept reaper Eddie, the 12-pointed star and the guys in robes is much better. 3/10
16. The X Factor: The design of Eddie is just awkward and disgusting. 4/10
15. No Prayer For The Dying: Eddie looks OK but the colours are ugly and the background is pretty bad. 5/10
14. The Book Of Souls: Eddie looks great but the lack of background is stupid. 6/10
13. Senjutsu: Same as The Book Of Souls but with a more badass Eddie. 6/10
12. A Matter Of Life And Death: I LOVE the setting but Eddie is way too much in the background. 7/10
11. The Final Frontier: Underrated album cover IMO. I like alien Eddie and the background suits the album perfectly. 7/10
10. Piece Of Mind: Never been a huge fan of this album cover. Eddie looks awesome but I don't like the colours and the overall setting is disturbing. 7/10
9. Virtual XI: I love the design of Eddie and the colours creates a creepy atmosphere. 7/10
8. Seventh Son: Not my favorite Eddie but the background more than compensates for it. 8/10
7. Fear Of The Dark: Eddie looks creepy and the overall atmosphere of the album cover is very sinister. 8/10
6. Somewhere In Time: One of the best Eddies but perhaps a little too much easter eggs in the background. 9/10
5. Iron Maiden: The creepy look of Eddie fits the album perfectly. 9/10
4. Brave New World: Beautiful colours with Eddie shining in the sky. 9/10
3. Powerslave: No comments needed. 10/10
2. The Number Of The Beast: No comments needed. 10/10
1. Killers: No comments needed. 10/10
Dunno how popular this opinion is but my favourite is Final Frontier
Worst: Dance of death
Best: Powerslave
I have always kinda liked virtual xi cover
Compare First Album cover and its posed like Book of Souls. Then killers is posed like Senjutsu.
My favorte is Killers too

2 A Real Live One
1 Live After Death
It pains me to see Dance of Death cover art because I love the album itself so much... I'm thinking a lot about how many people skipped this one just because the cover screams "IT SUCKS".
Derek Riggs is the only artist that depicts Eddie right. I just jate vampire Eddie is comic book marvel Eddie. Eddie had hunoe but the last two eddies are just blad.

Questy, One of My Friends said that the X Factor Album Cover looks like a Megadeth Album Cover.
Between Countdown to Extinction or Youthanasia.
Worst: Dance of I Never Want to Look at That Album Cover Again
Best: Somewhere in Time / A Matter of Life and Death
Book of souls over fear of the dark???
😆🤘🤘 The rant was superb, 👏👏👏👌 “you’re all c**ts!” 🤣
Anyway, my opinion based art list……. By no means a c**t.
Well, to be honest, thats open to debate.

Hello, what a good cover did you get, I also got a song from IRON MAIDEN hope you like it and the channel has many more covers and I hope you join the channel, there are many bands, friend thank.
My favorites are Killers, followed by TNOTB and Somewhere in Time
Last place:The Book of Souls/Senjutsu (i feel like they needed a background) and dance of death
ok but final frontier is number 1 for sure
wtf
fear of the dark cover is the best in my opinion
Fear Of The Dark is and was my least favourite up until that album. It's not bad per se in my opinion it just didn't and doesn't look like Eddie because it was the bands' first without Derick Riggs. I still don't dit it, although the concept is reasonable. Each to their own I guess.
