The best Maien album yet in my opinion and I can't see them ever reaching these heights again. Maybe Bruce solo but not Maiden. Just my opinion though.
I'd say 7th Son is lyrically and musically superior to any other Maiden album. Every song a winner. Why do people dislike "Can I Play With Madness"? I love it. "Only the Good Die Young" is fantastic.

I wish Bruce would remember the lyrics to "The Evil That Men Do" live though. He always gets verse 2 wrong.
5/5

Top Maiden, yes. They clearly had a lot of fun making it - secret to make things good, see. Can I play with Madness and Only the Good die Young are the top pieces. [glow=red,2,300]5 out of 5.[/glow] I wish Bruce would remember the lyrics to "The Evil That Men Do" live though. He always gets verse 2 wrong. ;D ;D ;D

This is not a top album to me, but I'll give it a 4.

I must be the only one not seeing 7th Son as progressive... maybe I'm just too ignorant about progressive ;D

Mike, have you heard Gun Barrel? No, but I searched around for 'em, and found them described as Motorhead meets AC/DC meets Rose Tattoo!, they sound right up my alley!

Yeah, you should check'em out. I got Battle-tested a few days ago and it rocks.

In my opinion, Battle-tested is the best album of this year...

Maiden have written a lot of great songs but 7th Son is one of their most consistent albums - agreeing with Copey, probably Maiden at their creative peak.
My favorite track is either ‘The Prophecy’ (great acoustic outro) or the title track. Or maybe ‘The Clairvoyant’ or ‘Infinite Dreams’. Then again, ‘Only the Good Die Young’ is a classic, as is ‘The Evil that Men Do’. Actually ‘Moonchild’ is top notch as well. And when I think about it ‘Can I Play With Madness’ isn’t bad either…damn it - I’m going to have to listen to the album and make me mind up again….
As you might have guessed, just about my fave Maiden album, closely followed by their debut album. Strange really, as 7th Son sounds a billion miles away from the raw punk-rock sound of the first record.
Super 'theme' album in its own right as well...

As an album, yes.. I agree they're Maidens at their best. I'll give a 5.
BUT I also give a 5 to "Killers".

By the way.. 7th son is probably the best ALBUM (my favorite from it: Clairvoyant).. but if you ask someone to name the best SONG of Iron Maiden, he rarely will pick one from it. The best SINGLES usually come from Killers, Piece of Mind or Powerslave.. and something from Somewhere in Time (Alexander The Great is Just COOL..) ;D
