    What a cracking video mate, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Our number one spot matches but our least favourite differ wlquite a lot lol. I'm absolutely stunned at your worst, I love that album - Death Of The Celts and Hell On Earth are my 2 favourites. It's so good to see someone actually give a ranking and be honest but fair as well. The 2 Blaze Bayley albums really do get shit on and I really don't get why. I do disagree about Bruce's voice though lol, he sounds fucking awesome! For me he seems to go from strength to strength. I think out of all the long standing metal bands, Maiden are the only one's I can think of who haven't had to down tune for the vocalist. Now that's remarkable. Brilliant video mate, well played 👏❤️

    Wow! Bold take on Senjetsu. I too feel it’s overrated but that’s after several listens to the whole album. I would not judge it off listening to it on UA-cam a time or two tho as my affinity for most Iron Maiden songs/albums have been gradual. Like I’d hear one song that I liked instantly, but it would take a few listens before I’d appreciated the other songs. Senjetsu is definitely one of those Maiden albums. Writing on the Wall is the easiest track to get into, give it about 4 listens and by the end, you’ll be in your car driving to work going “Caaaaaannnn you seeeee, the writing on the Wallll?!” like I was 😆.

    Loved this review really so much. It is perfect wow. Just 1 thing. That beer really tastes like crap. Took 3 chugs and threw it in the trash. Should have kept the bottle. You want a nice beer? Try a Black Label. From s.a. Anyhow I am 4 years sober and alcohol luckilly makes me depro. Do not miss it at all. Was very addicted.I am an alcoholic till I die. My alcohol enjoys me. Sad but true. Lovely video. Really enjoyed it.

    It took me ages to decide but thats the order. Final Frontier is just amazing. Been a fan since '86....
    To quantify things plainly; I feel the weakest track on Final Frontier is Eldorado. This song is still better than Charlotte the Harlot, Drifter, Gangland, Invaders, Quest for Fire, Sun and Steel, Losfer Words, Back inthe Village and Can I play with Madness. SiT is difficult as all its tracks are arguably better than Eldorado. That was difficult to decide. Every album they have released has at least 1 legendary masterpeice, even Virtual XI. FF has Starblind, Talisman, Final Frontier and When the Wild Wind Blows at least and possible The Man Who Would Be King...... so its about the lows really not the highs to make any seperation.
    Additionally FF has the energy and pace Maiden are known for unlike AMOLAD. BNW and DoD had this but are patchier over all. They also manage to be concise but progressive unlike the next 2 albums. FF is the sweet spot of complxity and progressive but also energetic and never laboured.

    I think a bunch of the albums you ranked low require more time and deep listens to click. The classic era benefits greatly from this for most fans, but the modern era deserves just as much time to digest. You’re not going to listen to a record from 2021 the same as you listen to one that shaped your childhood.
    For example, Hell on Earth from Senjutsu became my favorite Maiden song after repeated listens, after being a fan for 30 years.

    As someone on the other side of the pond who was in high school when Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, and Powerslave came out, I mostly agree with your ratings.
    The first time I heard of Iron maiden was when I saw Piece of Mind displayed prominently in Auditory Audicacy in North Hollywood, CA. That artwork was absolutely dominating. But the first actual album I listened to was Number of the Beast. And that album had a theme that was really targeted at our side of the pond. 666 was targeted at the "Moral Majority" types who were trying to censor music because of "backmasking" satanic verses. So Air Raid and company said "fuck it" and put it right in their artwork. But of course, the most relevant song to our side of the pond was "Run to the Hills". In 4 minutes, it managed to strip 17 years of whitewashing our history away and at the time, I knew it was correct.
    And "Hallowed Be Thy Name" (also targeting our racist death penalties) was the absolute metal shred. It was the song that made me a Maiden fan for the last (checks calendar) 40 years.
