I am not a Maiden purist, and am not of the opinion that Paul Di'Anno was the better vocalist. He was the first but certainly Dickenson has more musical talent. The first two albums were very similar. "Killers" is really part 2. The worst thing about the first two releases was most definitly the sound. Its obvious the producers were not taking the right approach, and is very unfortunate because it gives the albums a bland, 2-dimentional feel. "Number Of The Beast" in my opinion is when everything started coming together."Piece Of Mind" is probably their masterpiece. After that it was downhill. The first two albums are indeed classics but fall a little short.
