Is it even a hot take to say 7th Son is the best Iron Maiden album?

Date: August 19th, 2026 7:14 PM Author: Chestnut Bat-shit-crazy People Who Are Hurt Please let me know. Just learned loneliness of the long distance runner, Infinite dreams and the evil that men do. All such great songs. There’s no filler on that album at all.
EDIT: n00b error here. loneliness is on somewhere in time. |

Date: August 19th, 2026 7:18 PM Author: racy sound barrier it's defensible, but i'd say number of the beast or powerslave are better contenders. but anything from number of the beast through seventh son wouldn't be a hot take at all. now, if you told me a record they put out in 2010 was their best, or that one of the first two albums with the first singer (though i love both albums) were the best, i'd say that was a scorching hot take.

Date: August 19th, 2026 7:38 PM Author: Chestnut Bat-shit-crazy People Who Are Hurt Hot take: self titled is better than number of the beast. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5894428&forum_id=2#50079101) |

Date: August 19th, 2026 10:29 PM Author: racy sound barrier yea that's a hard one to defend. definitely a hot take. i like d'annio and all, and i actually really love killers, but not sure how you conclude that the s/t is better than number of the beast.

Date: August 20th, 2026 7:34 AM Author: Chestnut Bat-shit-crazy People Who Are Hurt Beast has 1 great song (Hallowed) and 2 of their most overrated songs (run to the hills and title track). I like 22 acacia avenue but everything else on the album is kind meh within maiden’s catalog.
I love self titled in spite of Dianno. I’m a huge Brucemo and think his voice is essential to the classic maiden sound. But the songs on self titled are better and more varied. Phantom is my all time favorite and Prowler and Transylvania are better than anything on beast aside from Hallowed. |

Date: August 20th, 2026 12:41 PM Author: Chestnut Bat-shit-crazy People Who Are Hurt Run to the Hills is massively overrated. It's the song non-fans all know and fans never listen to.
Number of the beast is better and has its moments but is also pretty monotonous and boring. If it were on a later album, the song would not be nearly as famous. |

Date: August 20th, 2026 12:48 PM Author: Brass Nudist Becky Immigrant Killers is better than self-titled.
But the real unsaid truth is that Piece of Mind is better than Number of the Beast.
22 Acacia Avenue? Were you a youthful whoremonger? |

Date: August 20th, 2026 12:59 PM Author: Brass Nudist Becky Immigrant The farther Maiden got from its punky roots, the farther they crawled up their own asses. And in their case, the longer and more complicated the songs, the more they started to sound the same. They fell victim to the reaction that songs like Hallowed got and continued on that trajectory, while I think also writing for the stage and Bruce's massive ego.

|
Date: August 20th, 2026 1:06 PM Author: Chestnut Bat-shit-crazy People Who Are Hurt There's definitely the songs that are clear attempts to recreate the Hallowed epic journey style song with that same chord progression and a key change here and there. i think it produced a lot of their best stuff but also some swings and misses. there's definitely something to be said for the seediness and grit of the first 2 albums.

Date: August 20th, 2026 1:01 PM Author: chrome resort fanboi It’s 100% without even question by far their best album and almost unskippable and a HUGE IQ tell
I would place it easily in my top 50 all time stuck on a desert island album list across all genres |
