The album is ok,but that first track "Different World" spanks of bad song writting,and so does "Benjamin Bragg"...even worse,but the rest of the LP is "ok".For Maiden that is a good album since they don't know how to write a "great album" anymore.The last "GREAT" album they wrote was "Powerslave".

Oh well... I've been an enthusiast of Maiden for many years, but since I know early Priest albums (especially Stained Class, Defenders Of The Faith, Sad Wings Of Destiny and Hell Bent For Leather), Maiden sliepped back to the 2nd place... 'Tis does not mean that I'd not love Maiden any more, but Priest is simply enormous! |

| ive never compared the two. priest is my favorite. maiden's a respectable 4th after metallica and megadeth. ive never considered maiden a contemporary of priest. id more compare priest to sabbath or deep purple or other bands of the 70's. priest's contribution to metal and music is pretty significant. so is maiden's, of course. |

| I love Iron Maiden, and they are my second favourite band. But Judas Priest are the Metal Gods! |

Yeah I remember some of that attitude,but here in Seattle back in 1985ish...there wasn't much of a "war" going on between the two bands,everybody cellebrated metal and were into lots of bands,but I still remember "some" of what you are talking about,just not very much of it was going on over here. We all looked at true metal bands as a team for heavy metal. Judas Priest has been,is and will forever be my favorite band even if they never snap out of thier non-metal drought.

I was always in the Priest camp, Screaming for Vengeance and Halford to be recognized as the true genius. When I got older I finally had no problem simply saying they are both great. But Priest is still my numbe rone. Oh maybe I haven't changed :) |

Yeah as I've said many times,the only 2 tracks I do not like off the album are "Different World" and "Benjamin Bragg". The other 8 songs are new/age progressive a little bit but still they managed to have captured the true Iron Maiden classic sound as well. The 8 songs remind me hints of Piece Of Mind and Powerslave throughout the album. Very good.

| I'm probably going to get a lot of people mad at me here & get blasted, but here it goes. I love Priest & have listened to them longer since they've been around longer (starting listening to Priest in '75). But I love Maiden too (starting listening to them in '80). I would say they are both my favorite bands. Both can be heavy & have riffs that could split your skull, both can have songs that are melodic & beautiful musically & vocally, but there is a difference to me. Just a different sound & different feel to them. |
