I got it cos' I'm a big fans of Police,
ppl said this album is Sting's best,
and said this one better than every thing sting done for police,
but I found that it's only a good album,
Police is WAY better for me.....
Yeah, Sting has done some good stuff, but The Police are miles better, they're brilliant!
And well done Stu for saying British Steel, I find it quite a boring album at times, though it does contain a couple of gems.
I don't know if anyone has said Number of the Beast yet, as I haven't checked all the first page, but I'll say it now. Whilst I still think it's a brilliant album, I don't think its the classic masterpiece that everyone claims it to be. Run To The Hills is probably one of Maiden's worst songs (even though it is a good bit of fun), the title track is good but not amazing, Gangland is just alright, Invaders is hilarious, and that's half the album that isn't amazing. Children of the Damned, 22 Acacia Avenue, The Prisoner and Total Eclipse (although I know that last one was originally a b-side) are great songs, and Hallowed Be Thy Name is one of the best songs ever written. But altogether, in my opinion that does not make a truly classic album, just a great one. Many of Maiden's albums are consistently more amazing than No. of the Beast, including their debut, Powerslave and Seventh Son. And Piece of Mind too actually.
Basically to summarise all this, if it weren't for Hallowed Be Thy Name, No. of the Beast would just be a 'good' album.
