@Guib: I think that quest for Fire kinda sucks as well....I dunno, just sort of a filler track imo.

Ok now explain to me.. why you would judge an Album only for ''ONE'' damn track ? Seriously...

ok Quest for fire sucked.. so what ? Think about.. Revelation, Trooper, Flight of Icarus, Die with your boots on, Still life, Where eagles dare... like wtf


By the way.. for the concept albums fans.. No other Conceptual Maiden albums will ever beat Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son.. sorry there.

Um, I never said that I judge the whole album on just one Track. Piece of Mind is One if my favorite Maiden albums. All I was getting at is that Quest for Fire just seems sort of like a filler track. Ya know?

Die With Your Boots On? Ahahahahaaaa! The few times I've actually listened to that song, I giggle.

I don't really think that Piece of Mind is really as solid as you say it is. Quest for Fire is TERRIBLE. Sun & Steel, Die With Your Boots On, and Still Life are ok, I guess. Where Eagles Dare, Flight of Icarus, and Revelations are great. The Trooper and To Tame A Land are MASTERPIECES. It's a very up and down album for me.

My thoughts exactly. I guess it depends what sort of mood I'm in..but piece of mind is definitely not "solid" imo.

I have to be in a ridiculously silly mood to sit through Quest for Fire. I usually hear it when me or one of my friends feels like having a good laugh while driving around. There is NOTHING like cruisin' around on a sunny afternoon banging our heads and rocking out to that song with the windows down. Especially when we're waiting at an intersection singing "DRAWN BY QUEST FOR FIRE!", and everyone around us minds just melt to our insane antics . Oh, and there is NOTHING like trying to start a bonfire for 30 minutes and then when you finally light it, you have four guys start singing, "DRAWN BY QUEST FOR FIRE! DISCOVERY OF MMAAANNNNN!"

Good times...

Yeah you guys got nothing else to say but ''Quest for Fire'' eh, i went through all this shit already with the other guy... ? ... Still piece of mind is way more than just being SOLID.. its a masterpiece. And please, compared to AMOLAD... lol its just clear, i mean AMOLAD is a joke.

The only thing here that is a joke here, good sir, is your discussion ability. WHY is POM better than AMOLAD?

The comparison is not a good idea in the first place - AMOLAD was a kind of experiment I guess, some listeners enjoyed oit, others did not. This POM /AMOLAD comparison is like comparing Images and Words to Octavarium - I say again it's great that they are different, I admire bands that try new things. Maiden did this quite rarely and got bashed for it most of the time.

Ok.. stay polite plz or just don't answer.. I don't have to hear this, if it gets personal with you then sorry.
I find it better cos 1. I don't like Conceptual albums that much.. and 2. Piece of mind is my favorite maiden album.. cos i like the sound.. the lyrics.. the idea in general surrounding the album.. Its just a question of opinion and if you don't like mine well its your choice.. but don't go trying to argue by attacking me personally...

Personally, I feel that the only Mediocer song on that album is Quest for fire. Die With Your Boots On is, as a matter of fact, one of the songs that got me into that album hardcore. Now I realize it isn't as great as other tracks, but I still love it.

I'm not "attacking" you, note the ";)". Sorry, given the strong statements you were making regarding the albums I thought we were discussing the music, not just picking favourites. Didn't mean to waste your time.

He called you good sir? How is that not polite? I say it to people I respect all the time:

(Someone hands me a Piece of Mind Cd)
"I do say, good sir, can you fetch me a better album like Powerslave. Leave it on my nightstand when you retrieve it... for I will be embarking on my QUEST FOR FIRE!"

-_- All i have to say is Arg...

Pretty good pun I suppose

All the same though, one would think it a general concesus that POM be thought of as better than AMOLAD. The songs on the latter album tend to drag out. And one thing's for sure; there's a lot more filler on that album.

Alright I agree with you a 100%

As an Englishman I am almost honour bound to have a liking for Iron Maiden, thankfully they make this easy by having one of the strongest catalogues in the history of Metal. Lucky enough to have seen them 7 times now and they never disappoint a truly marvelous band.



Oh and my favourite album is Seventh Son.

I agree quest for fire is the downside of the album, but the rest are made in heaven i love piece in mind

I think seventh son.... is the best album in the history of music every song is a masterpiece

I think that too, and my favorite song is "Can I Play With Madness"

Honestly, I think that AMOLAD flows very nicely. Although it's not one of my favorite Maiden albums, it has got to be one of the most consistently solid albums they have ever released. There isn't anything like New Frontier, Gangland, or Sun & Steel on the album...

This is just an opinion, keep in mind, but- These Colors don't Run, The Pligrim, The Reincarnation of Benjamen Breeg. Imo almost half of the album is filler. I still like even the filler songs, but they bore me more than others.

I don't know how you'd call those filler, unless by filler you just mean boring. The band has played every song on the album live, which is a good indication that none of the songs are filler in the sense of just going through the motions, generic, no notable artistic purpose...

Eh, maybe, but the album drags on a little. Don't get me wrong, it's good, it's just that it doesn't live up to the classics.

yeah, there are no stand-outs like on Powerslave or Seventh Son for example, where every song sounds awesome and you don't need to 'get' into the album(listen to all of it) to enjoy them. that apart from the first track(Different World) which is pretty kickass.

edit: that of course, and The Reincarnation
