The Number of the Beast

Classic metal album deserves its place on the list, this starts so strong and is one of maidens best, but a couple of dud songs near the end stops it getting full marks

Have loved this album for years. The only songs that have never really got with me were Gangland and Total Eclipse. I could listen to this on repeat for hours and hearing this again sent me into another spin through their discography.

Hell yes, another Iron Maiden album to review today! This is the second album by them that I've gotten on this generator. This is definately not my first time hearing this album, and it won't be the last!! This is the first Maiden album to feature Bruce Dickinson on vocals, and marks the shift from what Maiden was to what they become, which is an unstoppable heavy metal global phenomenon!!

That fucking wail at the start of The Number of the Beast is amazing!! Our first real glimpse at the power of Bruce's voice!! I also have very strong memories of jamming out to this song while playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 on PS2.

Clive Burr's drum intro on Gangland is awesome! This would be Clive's last album with the band. He would be replaced by Nicko McBrain, who is a fucking phenomenal force behind a drum set!!

Hallowed Be Thy Name is my all time favourite Iron Maiden song! The story Bruce expertly spins through his powerful lyrics almost makes you feel like it is you on death row thinking about life, and your own mortality! The powerful harmonizing guitar solos by Dave Murray and Adrian Smith are fucking epic, and bring me chills!! All of this held together by Steve Harris' expert bass playing!! Perfection in song form!!

Overall, an amazing album!! Easy 5 stars, no question!!!

Favourite songs: Hallowed Be Thy Name, Run to the Hills, The Number of the Beast, 22 Acacia Avenue, Children of the Damned, Gangland

Least favourite song: The Prisoner

5/5

Good fun, but, like a lot of 80s metal, it's a bit quaint now. "Run To The Hills" was the soundtrack to many drunken nights in rock bars in my early 20s.

Delicious

I’m pretty familiar with 3/8 tracks but the others did not disappoint

I like metal the same way I like comic books and in that regard this is a great album. Just look at that album cover: you know it's obviously gonna be a little dark, but in a fun and entertaining way, rather than being overly morbid or taking itself too seriously. Definitely my favorite Maiden album.

Me han gustado algunas canciones y viendo que son las conocidas de este disco no tengo mucho más que decir en ese aspecto. Me ha sorprendido qu que el Heavy Metal y el Rock Duro que recordaba no están heavy ni tan duro curioso viaje el de mi gusto musical que aún no siendo de heavy puro he escuchado cosas más aceleradas, distorsionadas y punteos de los que aquí había.

muahahahahahaha oh hell yea. gosh the bass line on Invaders is just everywhere. Goddamn even two songs in you can tell this is one of the best black metal albums ever made. Number Of The Beast still kicks the most ass.

Förlåt, men tål inte Bruce röst.
