Fear of the Dark vs Brave New World

vs




Fear of the Fart
vs
Brave New Worm

Let's do this.

Love both but voted FOTD. The album that introduced me to Iron Maiden.

FOTD by a smidge.

BNW for me, too much in FotD that seems so mediocre.

I like them both a lot, but I felt Brave New World was a great "comeback" for Bruce & CO.

Fear of the Dark!

Nice, looks like you took my advice and created a tie breaker thread. My vote still goes to Brave New World.

Track by track breakdown:

Be Quick or Be Dead > The Wicker Man
From Here to Eternity < Ghost of the Navigator
Afraid to Shoot Strangers > Brave New World
Fear Is the Key < Blood Brothers
Childhood's End > The Mercenary
Wasting Love < Dream of Mirrors

So that's a 3-3 tie for the first six tracks.

Then that whole bunch of filler on Fear of the Dark:
The Fugitive
Chains of Misery
The Apparition
Judas Be My Guide
Weekend Warrior

...no matter which way you arrange and spin those they lose clean to the Fallen Angel, Nomad and Out of the Silent Planet (tracks 7-9 on BNW). So that's 3-6 total score for Brave New World.

And finally:

Fear of the Dark > The Thin Line Between Love and Hate
(though Thin Line is one of my all-time favourite Maiden tunes)

Final score: 4-6 Brave New World wins.

Should have gone with Fear of the Lark to tie in with the Brave New Worm theme.

I think we have a winner.
