(Rated this album with 10 out of 10) Reviewed by

This is tied with Powerslave for my favorite Maiden CD of all time. I bought the cassette when it first came out back when I was in the Navy, just before we went to Hawaii. For that reason Seventh Son will always remind me of Hawaii. It seems that every Maiden album tells a story, an this one is no different. From the opening "Moonchild", on through "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son", this album is like listening to the perfect audio book. I have yet to see a more talented songwriter than Steve Harris, nor a more perfect story teller than Bruck Dickenson. Let's not forget Smith, Murray, and McBrain; without them this album wouldnt be as amazing as it is. It's the kind of album that let's you put on the headphones, crank up the volume, and be transported thru time and space to a place that only Iron Maiden can take you. Up the Irons!
