Album Listen #13: The album starts strong with the song of the same name which is obviously iconic - but the album just goes downhill from there and there isn't anything else about it that really gets me up to the same level of enjoyment again. The rest of a record as whole has no real negatives - but is just a chilled vibe and something I could stick on in the background whilst doing chores around the house. It is very middle of the road for me. And I think overtime the album has lost an element of its magic, as I certainly enjoyed it more a decade ago.​

Don't you mean Ace of Base for your number 2 pick. Music mastery at it's finest.

It is. Maiden and Blade Runner crossover, kind of, just too perfect

I'd rank it just below 7th Son for me (I'm obsessed with that record)

Album Listen #14: London Calling is an iconic song on its own - but the rest of the album just feels like the drunk/drug infused mutterings over the top of what is actually quite good music in the background. And essentially - if a listener isn't able to enjoy the voice of the person singing then it is really hard to connect and with nineteen songs on this album dedicating an hour was a bit of a struggle. Train in the Vain resulted in me at least enjoying the end of the record - but this wasn't one for me. ​

I'm in the minority of folks, lyrics and singer is very much secondary to the music for me.

On an older forum I was on, I used the name Moonchild and no one realized it was from that Maiden album
