Iron Maiden-Killers

Out of all the IM albums I listened to this morning I was most impressed with Killers. Certainly the first four are tried and true classics however until today I didn't have much respect for this album. Will certainly give this album more time on the iPod.

I am moving this to the metal room. If ever there was a METAL album it was Killers!

Have to agree. Killers rules! I usually list it as my favorite MAIDEN album.

ult

It is my favorite Maiden album, possibly my favorite of all time

My favorite of the two DiAnno albums. Favorite song is Murders In The Rue Morgue. Other favorites: the hell with it, if I list my other favorites I'd just be listing every song on it. A classic and from the first track to the last it is a five star album.

LOL wondering what happened to this thread. Just found it.

This climbed so high up my all time Maiden list in one day it may have set a record!

Great Album,just not my favorite Maiden album.That title belongs to Piece of Mind

I was always a bigger Dickinson fan than a DiAnno fan. But of the two discs Maiden recorded with DiAnno, KILLERS is also my fave.

The Killers - through - Powerslave era is just one extended act of brilliance. I like DiAnno's rough vocals. Killers is awesome!

See thats exactly what happened to me when I listened to it a few years ago. But this last time it was like what have I been missing.

Di'Anno rules!

Killers is my favorite Iron Maiden album.

Killers is also my favorite album from Iron Maiden.

Amazing album. It's one of my favorite Maiden albums.

My favorite Maiden album. This one's a true classic in every sense of the word.

That's some funny typo's right there.

Stop!! It hurts to laugh...

No pain, no gain, soldier.

O.K. - I sold my Castle copy of this quite some time ago so I hadn't heard this in a while. I recently re-acquired this on Vinyl.

I only listen to my records whilst I'm in the garage lifting or doing chores.

I kid you not, I'm stepping up to the squat rack and it hits me. I pause and think "This is the best Metal album up to that point in History". I thought about it more and more and that's what I maintain. In My Opinion, through 1981 there was not a better Heavy Metal album. I can't believe it's 27 years old and how good it is.

Killers!!!

Iron Maiden... - 1980
Killers........... - 1981
Number Of..... - 1982
Piece Of ....... - 1983
Powerslave.... - 1984


5 albums in 5 years of THAT quality!!! That's the best run in Metal/music history in my opinion. Unbelievable.......

classic maiden though powerslave is my favorite, maiden is just one of those bands that never fail to deliver quality music

That's a really valid point. You could say the same about Saxon and Priest, as well.

I just replaced my original scratched copy from '81 with the Castle reissue. I threw it in the player the other day and was thinking to myself that, out of the first 6 Maiden albums, I can't think of a song I hate. I'm not saying everything is pure gold; but there's nothing horrible, imho.
