Ranking the modern Maiden albums?
1. A Matter of Life and Death (no brainer, amazing all around, no lowpoints, some really strong tracks like The Legacy)
2. Brave New World (the one that showed us that Maiden were back in business, some really solid tunes like Wicker Man, some personal favorites like Nomad, Ghost of the Navigator and the title track)
3. Dance of Death (in my opinion a really underrated album, and I would put both Dance of Death and Paschendale in my top 10 Maiden songs without hesitation. Overall really good)

4. Book of Souls (Overall a very admirable album with some great songs on it, suffers a bit from length and I wasn't HUGE on the production, but overall a good release)
5. The Final Frontier (For me a lackluster first half is compensated greatly by a great second half. Gems like Isle of Avalon and Starblind are both amazing, but the album takes a long time to get going)
