Rank the Albums

[Jennie-5128]

Well, you know, when it's winter here it's summer there etc.

Good memories are always a great reason to rate an album highly; I have some great memories which are very strongly associated with music

Piece of Mind is my favorite because I heard it when it was new and it's also when I discovered Iron Maiden for the first time so it has a lot of memories connected to it for me.

Seems everyone agrees Virtual XI is their worst album. There are a few good songs on there, but most are overly long for no reason and the production is terrible. Although still better than many other bands' best work.

Indeed, & exactly

[The Educated fool]

The X Factor and Killers are underated af.

Right on man. I agree too, that The X Factor is very underrated... there really are a lot of great tunes on there. I'd love to hear Bruce take on Judgement of Heaven or The Aftermath live one day (a day I strongly suspect will never come, but hey... )

@ Vaseodin:

Virtual XI definitely has its moments, I agree. Clansman is actually amazing, IMO... though I MUCH prefer Bruces' live version on Rock in Rio to the original.

Mmm, I think the dark athmosphere of The X factor don´t fit with bruce style, but what the hell!, he did a excellent job with The Clansman. Interesting at least.
