| Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast Classification: Pop Band: Iron Maiden Tracks: - Invaders - Children of the Damned - Prisoner - 22 Acacia Avenue - Number of the Beast - Run to the Hills - Gangland - Total Eclipse - Hallowed Be Thy Name Thank god for "Number of the Beast" IF this is not the greatest Maiden cd (i constantly debate between this and Piece of Mind) then its 2nd best, and nipping at the heels of its champion. This cd is LOADED with awesome songs.. And because the whole album is amazing i'll go through the tracks.<BR>1. Invaders - a great opener. Good solo, catchy guitar, good song.<BR>2. Children of The Damned - Sounds like Metallica's Fade to Black, but this song came first. "Damned" good song! ;P<BR>3. Prisoner - awesome. Catchy, memorable chorus, cool intro, awesome solo. Very good.<BR>4. 22 Acacia Avenue - Good song, but not one that blows me away<BR>5. Number of the Beast - but THIS one blows me away. AWESOME title track. Cool gothic kind of lyrics, great solos by Adrian and Dave, good bass, awesome intro.<BR>6. Run to the Hills - as good as the title track. Also phenomenal words and music.<BR>7. Gangland - eh. Doesn't do too much for me, but i assume that might have to do with following tracks 5 and 6<BR>8. Total Eclipse - good song, but not a memorable one<BR>9. Hallowed be thy name - AWESOME, GREAT, AMAZING, and everything else. Maiden's best epic without a doubt (sorry mariner, alexander, to tame a land, etc.) Great riffs, good solo (although every time i hear it i want to hear the solo from "The Prisoner" in it.. but the one in it now is still great.. EXCELLENT words.. just an unbelievably well done song. I could not imagine a better way to close a great cd. An all time metal landmark The legendary album that cemented Iron Maiden as a world force band, and it introduced fans to vocalist Bruce Dickinson. Without a doubt Maiden's finest effort, songs like the classics "Run to the Hills", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", "The Prisoner", and the just plain cool title track, there are virtually no faults to find in "Number of the Beast", except that it is a bit short, but that is instantly forgiveable. An all time landmark album that is right up there with Metallica's "Ride the Lightning", Black Sabbath's "Paranoid", and Judas Priest's "British Steel". Essential for anyone who calls themself a metalhead. My first Maiden album, their hardest rocking one. This album is just so amazing. I bought this album for the song "Prisoner", and I didn't know what I was in for. This album is 80's heavy metal at it's finest. Motley Crue, Metallica, WASP, Manowar, Megadeth, etc. they have nothing on this album. 1. Invaders (9/10) Great opener to a grea album<BR>2. Children of The Damned (10/10) Heavy as heck. <BR>3. Prisoner (10/10) The song that got me into them.<BR>4. 22 Acacia Avenue (10/10) Listen to their first album to get a full understanding. <BR>5. Number of the Beast (10/10) Title track, this song probably got alot of [hate] in it's time. <BR>6. Run to the Hills (8/10) Their most popular track, I don't like it too much.<BR>7. Gangland (7/10) <BR>8. Total Eclipse (7/10) <BR>9. Hallowed Be Thy Name (10/10) Great end to an album that was getting pretty weak on side two.
