I hate Iron Maiden but I love this album
Dickenson sends me running for the hills. His ludicrous semi-operatic wailing has always sounded like nails on a blackboard to me. So I always thought Iron Maiden were a Spinal Tap-inspiring joke. Until I heard this album, which is exactly per the title: Killer. br /Great bass lines, great vox... nothing not to love.

Heavy Metal at its best
I now own all of Maidens albums. Over the last few weeks i have listened to them all, and this one has to be their best. I really love that raw early sound which they had but appeared to lose once bruce took over. dont get me wrong, bruce did a fantastic job and i really think the number of the beast is his best record with the band. but there is something very special about the sound the band had on the first two albums. something that has never been repeated. When the band released 'no prayer for the dying' in 1990 they were trying to recapture that sound they had around the time of killers. they never recaptured that great sound. Paul Dianno did a great job on this record, the production is top notch. Because of the poor production on the first album his voice didn't come accross that powerful. Thats why any new maiden fan who likes fast energetic music should start here. This album is full of classics. The ides of march intro suits the record perfect and murders in the rue morgue shows off the speedy side of their music. And lets not forget the fantastic 'Another Life' which has some fantastic maiden solos. The title track screams out at you and is probably one of their heaviest songs. This album is real Maiden. Its raw, energetic, dark, has some great time changes and just shows off what maiden were all about. Its a real shame Dianno called it a day after this. In some ways, it was a good thing bruce joined because he did take them to new levels and they were able to try new things. But this is Maiden as they were. I am a big fan of the new albums but they just don't have that power this one has. An album you will never get bored of

I prefer this to there debut. It's an underrated masterpiece.
I love this album it has so many clasic(in my opinion of cours). There is only one track that doesnt really stand out which is the last track but the rest are amazing. The best are Another life (what a solo i can't get over how good it is), Killers, Murders In A Rue Morgue, Wrathchild Purgatory. This is an awesome start to Iron Maiden who in my opinoion are one of the best bands ever. I must admit this is alot better then their debut though the debuts brilliant it's not as good as this. UP THE IRONS!!!!!

Savage Brilliance!
Martin Birch produces Maiden for the first time and the results are sensational: Sudddenly Clive Burr emerges as one of the greatest drummers of his generation, Dave Murray's solos are given an amazing metallic polish and Paul Dianno's voice has never sounded as good as this. Pound for pound the debut album has more definitive Maiden classics but this is by no means an unworthy follow up. 27 Years on and this album still has an amazing edge to it. Play loud!

Iron Maiden 2
This album isn't as good as the previous one, but its still got a few tracks worth listening to. br /The two instrumentals stand out, as does `Murders In The Rue Morgue', but nothing really special. br /As with all the remastered albums in this series, it contains some very grainy videos which you can change to two sizes: small and half the size of the screen, no full screen option but if there was, it would be virtually unwatchable. Again, notes specific t to the making of this work is included as are many photos and album art and the Iron Maiden family tree. br /Packaged in a standard CD case with a booklet containing lyrics and photos. br /All in all, and average album and not one to buy if you're looking for the best. br /Highlights: `The Ides Of March', `Murders In The Rue Morgue', `Genghis Khan'. br / br /Track Listings br / br /1. The Ides Of March 01:46 **** br /2. Wrathchild 02:55 *** br /3. Murders In The Rue Morgue 04:19 **** br /4. Another Life 03:23 *** br /5. Genghis Khan 03:09 **** br /6.
