While almost anybody says "Number of the Beast" is the ultimate Maiden album i think that this debut is number one and BEAST a number two. This album has everything a good metal/rock album good needed an explosive openener an explosive final and between that great melodic metalsongs and some dark ballads my favourites on this album are "Phantom of the Opera" the Epic Classic the instrumental "Transylvania" and the Ballad "strange World" although Di Anno hasn't such a big voice as Dickinson in this song he is the perfect match. this is certainly one of the most powerful metaldebut's off all time and everybody who claims himself a hardrock or metal fan should have this classic in his collection.
