This cd is unbelievable. It has more solos and riffs than any of their other cds and i love the heavy sound. This is a very close contest with The Number of the Beast and I think if I had to choose between those to listen to an album forever I would choose this one just plainly because the songs are longer and they tire more slowly. Below are their grades.

Aces High- was my favorite but soon became my least favorite just because it one of the shortest and the easiest to get into..which means it soon got old to me - B

2 Minutes to Midnight- one of the best on the album. It has a great chorus, a great solo, and great vocals and lyrics.- A

Losfer Words- took awhile to get into but then it really struck me. The worst of their instrumentals though.- B

Flash of the Blade- crazy! I was expecting this to be a ho hum normal song but this is awesome, especially the guitar playing in the middle.- A

Duellist- another great song that is 2/3 instrumental. Sounds similar to Losfer Words and beats it even though it gets the same grade.- A-

Back in the Village- one that gets stuck in my head but I think theres something missing in this song.- B+

Powerslave- for some reason it never captivated me until the instrumental part.But that part is memorable.- A-

Rime of the Ancient Mariner- unbelievable. This is what an epic is all about.- A

I got this cd and Piece of Mind both at the same time for Christmas and this does beat out that. To me this has little to no filler which I cant say about Piece of Mind. The Number of the Beast also I think beats out Piece of Mind but a true fan shold buy all three because they are the core of Iron Maiden. Even if you dont like Iron maiden this album will change you. 10/10
