I will say something heretical here, but I prefer NPFTD and FOTD to any of the reunion era albums. Honestly the only weak songs from those albums are Holy Smoke, Hooks in You, Bring Your Daughter and From Here from Eternity. Still... they all have their moments and are kind fun. Despite No Prayer having 3 weaker tracks, I really love the others and Fear have quite forgotten gems like Be Quick, Fear is the Key, The Fugitive, Chidhood's End and Judas Be My Guide. Despite the very good quality of the reunion albums (with GREAT quality in a lot of the songs), I think they all lack the more rocker/energetic attitude and heaviness that Maiden had until Fear and never truly brought it back. I thought when Bruce came back, we would have this back, because I think his solo career, although different, also has that vibe (by the way, I have a similar take comparing Bruce's solo albums with modern Maiden). But, unfortunately it didn't happen.
